In-car DAB from Pure

Announcing the DAB Pure Highway - a handy way of getting DAB in your car without having to replace your existing radio. The Pure Highway is a DAB radio that sticks to your windscreen much like a satnav unit - it's a DAB receiver that re-transmits DAB stations onto FM, so that your existing card radio can tune in to DAB. You can also pause and rewind live DAB. Powered from the car's 12V socket / 2 x AA batteries, the Highway has 20 DAB station. Easy to install and remove from your car.

Available for £69.99 from Empire Direct
