The Pure Highway is a unique, easy to fit in-car DAB digital radio that also enables you to listen to your iPod/MP3 player. Powered from the in-car power socket and easily attached to your windscreen with a removable flexible mount (just like sat nav) Highway receives DAB stations and transmits them to your car radio on a free FM frequency. Simply tune your car radio to the FM frequency shown on Highway’s display to listen to DAB or your iPod/MP3 player.
Highway is packed with great, easy-to-use features such as ReVu™ to pause and skip back through live DAB radio, quickSCAN to find free FM transmission frequencies, and 4 FM transmission presets (synchronize these with your car radio’s FM presets to make avoiding interference a breeze). You can even take Highway from the car when your journey’s over and carry on listening using headphones (not included).
Whether you want to enjoy the digital stations in-car that you do at home, listen to your iPod/MP3 player on the move, or just discover DAB, Highway brings a lot more entertainment to your journey.

Pure Highway review
This unit works very well. I have only two small criticisms: It would be nice if they supplied a dash mounting bracket as well as the window sucker - the unit could then be located less conspicuously. Also, when applying power the unit does not always initialise correctly and needs to be disconnected and reconnected.Hopefully in the near future Pure will make the aerial available separately so the radio can be transferred to a new car.
Same Problem on Motorway
I bought this hoping that it would solve the problem I have in the Cumbrian section of the M6 when I lose all my AM stations - mainly TalkSport and Radio 5 Live. Unfortunately, the digital reception is just as bad in that area and the Highway garbles everything to such an extent that you can't listen to it. Reception in the Manchester area was bit hit and miss for a while with some stations, but once I found a suitable place for the aerial it was sorted. Can't say I'm a big fan of all the wires that are needed with the device, but as it's a radio which isn't 'plumbed-in' to the car I suppose I have to accept that. Overall it's a nice wee machine which allows me to hear the football commentaries in crystal clear stereo in the car.
Overall this is a very good product. It is easy to install and set up. The FM transmitter's search function is good, it saves messing about trying top find a clear frequency manually. The aerial is not so good, it only seems to work in high signal strength. The overall feel of the unnit is that it feels cheaply made. The top switches are not positive enough, it is difficult to tell if they have been pressed. The switches also rattle over certain road surfaces which is annoying. When using with the headphone, the external aerial is disconnected which is a shame as it is not difficult to make a perfectly good aerial with a length of coax and a coat-hanger (search the internet).another annoying feature is that it will look for a station but if the signal strength is low it will look once more then revert back to the first station, this is worst if you are driving if the station is on a higher pre-set, the scroll wheel has to be used again and again, which is not safe.
