On the plus side, the instructions are the clearest of any we experienced, and the unit is simple to fit. The display is clear and easy to use, too, but unfortunately the DAB reception wasn’t great, with frequent drop-outs even on stronger stations. If you can’t use the (supplied) aux-in cable with your car, the FM transmission is also far too weak, making it unusable. To install the Pure Highway 400 in your car, you will need a safe and secure place to attach the receiver and antenna, as well as a 12V power source or a USB power point. The antenna needs to be placed on the windshield to get a good reception. The receiver connects to the car stereo via an aux cable. This means your car stereo will need to have an aux input to use this adapter.
The Pure Highway 400 is one of the best DAB/DAB+ car adapters available in 2017. It’s relatively easy to fit, looks smart and offers better sound quality than you’d get from FM. However, the reception isn’t as strong as it could be, and the adapter is fairly expensive. Alternative adapters to consider If I had to mention negative points about it, I'd have to say that although it's not bad, it's not quite as sensitive as my old system. That did however have a proper 1/4 wave external aerial, so it's just physics - an outside aerial will always give better results. Also, as a necessary consequence of being battery powered, the controller goes into standby after so many seconds, and also you don't get any programme (SI) information. It does do traffic information (according to the manual), but I've yet to hear any. On a normal day before I bought this, I struggled to get once radio station and that's BBC Wilt, and that's because I live in Wiltshire. Heart would come and go at whatever time it suited it. Installing this, I was able to get 70 HD voice clear radio stations. I am definitely flabbergasted.

Reception is excellent and I haven't lost a signal yet, it even stays playing where I use to loose FM radio stations. So anyone interested in adding dab to there car I can highly recommend the Pure Highway.
The Pure Go application does not support cached music (Music on demand stored locally on your mobile device), so a data connection is needed. What is the Go button? The easiest way to enjoy DAB digital radio, Bluetooth music streaming from your mobile and hands-free calling in your car, this clever audio adapter is simple to fit and works seamlessly with your existing in-car audio system. Progress, eh? At some point in the indeterminate future (the government hasn’t actually put an exact date on it yet) the good old faithful analogue radio signal is going to be switched off – which means if you own a car without a DAB receiver, there’s a danger you might have to actually start talking to your passengers unless you do something about it. You will be asked ‘ Do you want to upgrade all?‘Press ’Y’ and then press the ‘Return’ button on your laptop . Whether you’re new to digital radio or already enjoy the great choice and quality of digital radio at home you’ll love listening in your car with Highway 600.
What else does the Pure Highway 400 do?

There is even talk of permanently switching off the FM transmitters in the near future, making many car radios obsolete. Enjoy your own music choice and safe mobile calling with Highway 600 thanks to built-in Bluetooth.Pair your phone or tablet with Highway and listen wirelessly to your own music collection, or your favourite music streaming service through your existing audio system.
