    So far so good

I used to have a DAB radio in my old Vauxhall Vectra company car & when it came to replace it I went for a Toyota which doesn't have a DAB as standard (£1500 upgrade with sat-nav, rear camera etc) even though it has a DAB button so I went for a Pure Highway, as previously stated these take up more space on the windscreen with cables everywhere.

I came up with the solution of fitting it into my centre console armrest, out of sight, open the cover to change channels, luckily my armrest has a 12V socket & a Aux in so I don't have to use the FM transmitter. Unfortunately the aerial cable was too short so I bought a 2.5mm connector 2m extension cable off e-bay.

I tried the windscreen mounted aerial in several windows, I relly wanted to put it in the side quarter panel (I've had windscreens replaced on most of my cars so didn't want to put it there) but it was useless, maybe because of the heavy tinted window, I tried vertical in the windscreen as per the manual, but settled on horizontal as it looks less obtrousive.

My Vauxhall DAB had 99.99% success rate the pure is more like 75% tbh, often dropping signal in built up areas, I've now ordered an external aerial in the hope that will improve mattersas it could be down to the windows in the Avensis blocking the signal.

Great bit of kit, take your time installing it especially if you don't want cables everywhere. Also I did read somewhere not to plug/unplug the aerial while powered on as it has been reported that it could damage the unit
