"Want crystal-clear digital radio in your motor, but don't want to rip out your existing audio system? Pure thinks it has the answer: a windscreen-mounted box called the Highway that streams DAB to your radio over FM.". Click here for the full review.
The PURE Highway is a complete adaptor solution for the car that allows the user to listen to DAB digital radio on the car’s existing FM audio system. It is also possible to connect an iPod or MP3 player and listen to favourite tracks through the car stereo.
Extremely easy to fit, Highway is powered from the cigarette lighter socket and attached to the windscreen with a supplied flexible mount, just like a portable satellite navigation system. It receives DAB stations and transmits them to your car radio on a free FM frequency. Simply tune your car radio to the FM frequency shown on Highway's display and within seconds you can listen to DAB Digital Radio or your iPod/MP3 player, through your existing in-car audio setup. If the FM signal transmitted by Highway is disrupted by a local FM station, a quick press of the quickSCAN button and the PURE Highway automatically skips to the next free FM slot and you just need to retune your car stereo to the same frequency.
Highway is packed with great, easy-to-use features such as ReVu to pause and skip back through live DAB radio, quickSCAN to find free FM transmission frequencies, and 4 FM transmission presets (synchronize these with your car radio's FM presets to make avoiding interference a breeze). You can even take Highway from the car when your journey's over and use it as a handheld DAB Digital Radio by plugging in your headphones (NB - Headphones not included).

"Most people are familiar with the stick-on-the-windscreen portable sat nav screen, so why not use the same concept for a DAB, digital radio tuner? Specialist electronics company PURE has picked up on this concept with the Highway digital radio tuner.". Click here for the full review.
