Pros: the build quality, performance
Cons: cost of additinal adapters
"I wanted DAB radio in the car and Skoda didn't offer this option, so reading up on the net I went for the Pure 300Di. I already had a Pure " Evoke" radio at home and knew they were good. Halfords made a very neat job of the installation (not a single wire showing) and I'm very pleased with the results - many more stations and no drop-outs so far. The price can mount up with various adapters, aerial and a harness depending on your model of car. I would certainly recommend this solution if your looking to install DAB and yet retain your existing Headset."

"My unit is hard wired on a Volvo V50, installation took 4 hours but would be quicker the second time. Unit works superbly with very high quality reception (using a roof mounted antenna).
I don't see this as a home installation but other wise great.

Pros: small and easy to use, great signal and sound quality
Cons: iso plug connectors
"Good signal and great sound.
The usb feature is great just plug in the memory stick and play and is completely searchable by artist and album etc.
Would have been better if the wiring was simple cig lighter socket instead of the ISO connectors its supplied with as you have to remove the existing car stereo which can in some cases be very awkward, however i got round this by cutting the ISO plugs off and wiring a permanent live from the fuse box in the boot and the ignition live and ground to a cig lighter socket and works a dream."

Pros: good dab signal even with magnetic aerial, charges ipod/iphone, forecourt pause
Cons: slow to startup - searching for available stations, 1 usb socket - can't use ipod and usb at same time, main unit flimsy - i broke the usb socket, loss of fm signal strength on passthrough
"I needed to use my existing head unit. (with fm radio, cassette and multi CD). Couldn't find anything suitable to add playback of USB, iPod (and DAB) until I found this. Works great even after fitting all of it myself. I recommend professional fitting though as connections can be easily damaged if you're too forceful."

"I've been contemplating upgrading to DAB for a while and was considering replacing the head unit. The Pure Highway unit has allowed me to keep my existing Alpine head unit and lives up to all expectations. I had it fitted by Halfords, the guy sorted it in just over an hour and works perfectly. I'd definitely recommend the Pure unit as a DAB upgrade."

Pros: dab choice is great, tuning is easy, installation is straightforward, sound is excellent
"Fitted this unit to a Renault Laguna Expression. Line output from the unit was too high for the car amplifier causing speaker distortion. Solution was to use an Audio attenuator. Reduced the line output so speakers do not distort and without reducing clarity of sound. Volume can now be turned up without any problem. Upgraded the speakers as well and the sound is clean and crisp. Please note AUX line input needs the gain input up to 3 to be acceptable on a level with the DAB radio stations. See settings.
Be experimental where you lay the aerial cable as car electronics can affect signal reception.
