I like the look of this http://www.whathifi.com/news/pure-launches-highway... - hard wired like a Parrot kit rather than the stick-on-the-windscreen type that the original Highway is/was.

Quite pricey though, and I think they've missed a trick by not including handsfree (I don't want two units like that on my dash frown)

Would quite like DAB in my car and it's good to see that progress is being made with retrofit units.

Anyone got/considering something like this? smile

I got the old Highway for Xmas, I'm planning to had-wire it in and hide the unit in the pop-up centre dash compartment.

However after giving it a quick test in my house, the reception seems crap with the standard aerial so I'll have to try it out loose-fitted in the car before deciding whether to keep it.

From the very limited research I have done a lot of people seem to buy another aerial, some even opting for DAB/FM ones that replace your existing roof aerial (fair old job to fit)
