Highway is a unique, easy to fit in-car 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 digital radio 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 digital radio or your iPod/MP3 player.
Digital radio brings you more stations including BBC 7, BBC Five Live Sports Extra, Planet Rock and theJazz. National AM stations such as talkSPORT, Absolute Radio and BBC Five Live are also broadcast in crisp, clear digital-quality audio.
Highway is packed with great, easy-to-use features such as ReVu to pause and skip back through live digital 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. (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 digital radio, Highway brings a lot more entertainment to your journey.

Performance BMW - March '08
Sound quality on DAB is excellent
Pure's Highway, a really easy to install and use package, delivers all the joys of digital radio into a car. Sound quality on DAB is excellent, and the addition of the compatibility with personal music players might seem obvious, but it's no less welcome and no less useful for that. Retailing at around £70, its price is pretty keen too, and much cheaper than ripping your FM receiver out and retro fitting a completely new set-up.
