Hello

Just on my way home from the launch of Pure's new in car DAB retrofit kits. I will be getting a review unit in a few weeks to try out on the Spaceback, so please keep an eye out for a write up.

I've posted a long write-up over in the ICE section for anyone that is interested.

Looking forward to it.

Cheers

An alternative recommendation is the Pure Move 2500 plugged into your Aux socket.

The negative points is that you need to charge regularly, it can get interference from dash cams & sat nav power and that it's not fixed.

The plus points are that it's relatively cheap and that it's not fixed...

Reception is normally very good, unless you're in the middle of somewhere like Cornwall...

I'd recommend you get a case too...

If anyone is really interested in a retrofitted DAB unit, I have a DABmotion unit that I had installed in my previous car (a 3 series touring) which I found quite briliant for listening to 6music, Absolute radio, PlanetRock and 5live (without am hiss and crackle) - other digital content is available. My new rapid was the showroom example and sadly the high-end infotainment system already fitted did not have DAB - instead I now use the sizeable bundled data allowance on my mobile phone contract to stream digital radio from an app through the bluetooth in the car when the FM stations are boring me.

 

That means I have a DABmotion unit up for grabs if anyone is interested? here is a new one listed on amazon:

I'd be looking for offers of around half the retail price. I put a new watch battery in the wireless controller just before I took it out the beemer too and I had it fitted for about a year.
