I think I am going to bite the bullet and install some after-market DAB. Is the Pure Highway still the one to go for? I am looking for something that will not invalidate the warranty and be relatively unobtrusive.

Many thanks

Anyone?

I have also found JustCONNECT, which gets a good rep on 911UK I believe.

Simply put you will invalidate your warranty if it is discovered. Not a risk I would personally take for a DAB upgrade

If you want a quick DAB fix get one of these:

You just run a phono/phono connection lead from the glove box to the centre console - and connect to the radio - and then power the radio with a micro/usb lead - then choose aux on the PCM.

The phono lead acts as the antenna - sound quality is excellent.

Total cost £34.00 and no warranty invalidation.

I don't see why that would be the case, if it's plugged into the universal audio interface. No chopping into looms required as far as I am aware, but I will check obviously.

I have a Bluetooth connector for my iPhone for music so surely you can just use one of the many radio apps on your iPhone for your digital stations? Obviously you will use mobile data.

I use a Windows phone and the data seems poor. Added to which round here the data network is appalling.
