I had been waiting for so long for a DAB car stereo to come on the market without buying any extra hardware. My first inpression when i got it out of the box was good, it blends into any car dash board with its sexy matt finish and it espeicially blends into my dashboard with its red light up buttons as i have a VW passat with the red and blue dash lights.... looks right at home. Some other DAB tuners don't come with any aerials. this one came with a standard windscreen mounted aerial, which was a bit fiddly to stick on but works just as well as the roof mounted ones which can cost you around £60 to buy, and you need to drill hole in your roof and extra fiddly wiring. The radio also came with it's own infared remote control, why you need one i don't no? but it's handy when you have passengers in the back when your out of the car as they don't need to lean over to operate it. It's a very powerful little unit punching out 4x52 watts of power and a good clean crisp sound. The unit also has 2 pre'outs for easy connection to amplifiers and also has a aux in which is good if you want to play your Mp3 player through it, i have my mini disc connected into mine and it sounds really good. The unit also has a sub leveling control which is handy as don't need to keep messing with the settings on the amp in the boot which makes it simple to set up sub's if you have any? The unit plays Mp3 Discs, Wma Discs and Altrac 3 and also you can add Cd titles to your Cd's which will be displayed on your unit. The only downside i can see with this unit is that it has no multi changer control, but as you can connect Mp3 players to it, so it's not all bad. In conclusion if your looking for a good quality in car DAB tuner? This would be my first choice. It's not badly priced, you don't need to buy any other boxes or wires to get DAB. It's all in the box to get you going and i like how you can connect your Mp3 player to it, saving you money buying a multi changer and ripping your car apart to fit it. Good Radio.
