Pros: discreet ipod integration
Cons: needs choice of display colours to match car dash
"Have had DAB in the car since 2004 so have had them all, for 6Music mainly actually. This is probably the best on the market. The Japanese brand integrated DIN size DAB radios all have awful ergonomics - all flashing lights and tiny buttons - Better stick with your factory head unit and get one of these.
Installed it myself in a 2009 Volvo V70. Made for custom installation - none of the trailing wires nonsense like the old Highway so don't attempt to install one unless you have a good understanding of car electronics and a set of torx screwdrivers to take the centre console out.
No reception black-spots found, sounds excellent through the Aux input of the Standard Volvo (Alpine made) hi-fi and the iPod and USB integration is excellent. Worth leaving a full 160Gb iPod hidden in the glovebox permanently for it.
I might move the controller, as I'm fussy, low into the centre console (it's on double sided tape) as the only thing jarring with me is the green backlight when the dashboard lighting is white - they should have used LEDs that you can colour customise IMHO. Only niggle apart from cheesy Smooth Radio sticker in the box! There's plenty of bland commercial stuff on FM - got mine for BBC 6Music and 4Extra only.
Amplified external glass aerial easy to fit and works well."

Pros: very good iphone connection, internal aerial works well in a city, good quality sound through my alpine .
Cons: reception out of towns if you have internal aerial, price
"Very expensive compared to a complete dab/cd fitted audio unit . Still I bought it as impressed with the Pure radios I have at home . It also showed it fitted with an outside dab aerial which is very difficult to find . When Halfords went to fit it they found that they could not fit aerial as I have a convertible . Had to bring it back a second time and Pure had given them an internal aerial which I was trying to avoid . I have since exchanged e-mails with Pure and it appears that they cannot earth aerial on convertibles and cars with non-metallic roofs . Very dissatisfied with the fact they did not disclose this when I bought it nor is there anything in their owner's manual . A bad mistake by such a big company ."

"This took a while to install trying to figure out what was actually required. In the end I only used the included aerial aux out to my car aux in, power connector and remote cable and it works a treat.
Updated software as only came with 1.1 and Pure website has 1.2 available.
I fitted the unit under the glove box and used additional cables for the power as the supplied lead was too short, few clips and cable are cheap and I had more space to play with.
DAB radio is great using included Aerial much better than my original Highway model. The sound from my iPhone is excellent using the iPod features.
But.... The features are great but for the price Bluetooth hands free would have been nice."

"I love my Pure Highway. I can listen to digital radio in the car (at last!) and use my itunes/satnav etc too. Huge thanks to the Halfords team at Team Valley retail park especially Steve who did a great job installing it at very short notice. Would definitely recommend."

"Absolutely superb piece of technology, and the external aerial means no drop of signal so far. Simple controls and a professional installation make for a very happy owner!"

Pros: ease of use, no unsightly wiring
Cons: a little difficult to remove from the holder
"This is similar to the original Highway but is more convenient to use.The device simply clicks into a dash-mounted holder without needing to plug and unplug three leads.Tuning is automatic and up to 30 presets can be easily programmed.
An excellent product."

Pros: good sound discreet
Cons: poor aerial
"When I finally received this and it was fitted to my Mk4 Mondeo, I was disappointed in the signal strength and number of stations available. However, I realised that I could make the unit use the existing FM aerial instead of the supplied through-the-glass and the difference was huge, full signal and plenty of stations. It is a shame that this was not discovered before the supplied aerial was fitted, although I did feed this back to the fitter. Now working the sound is very good, but I marked it down for value as I have paid for a redundant aerial and also had to pay for another lead for my car."
