Digital radio for the car.

Advantages: Cheap upgrade.
Disadvantages: A bit fiddly to install.

...Great product but fitting it took a bit of figuring out. Managed it in the end though. I recommend it as it allows you to keep your existing in car stereo and add the additional functions of digital radio. It is well worth upgrding to as the FM radios are going to be phased out shortly. To buy one search on either ebay or amazon, they vary in price form around the £40 mark up to around £200. If you arent competent to fit it yourself it can cost about £50 fitting charge. It is a silver grey colour and should fit in with the interiors of most cars. I recommend you buy the pouch to store the head unit to prevent it scratching when you leave the vehicle. Thoroughly recommended and cheaper than buying a complete new digital stereo....

Review of Revo IN-CAR DAB Digital Radio

Upgrade your car stereo to DAB.

Advantages: Cheap upgrade.
Disadvantages: Can be fiddly to install.

...I recently bought one of these to be able to listen to digiatl radio in my car especially planet rock. It is a relatively easy device to fit if you are fairly confident with working with vehicle electrics. The instructions are helpful though and there is further information available on the revo website (www.revo.co.uk). If you still are unable to install it for just under £50 a professional car stereo installer can fit it for you. It can be installed one of 2 ways, the first way is via the plugs sockets in the back of your stereo head unit these are called RCA sockets but not all have these. The second way and the way i installed mine was via the FM modulator. This makes use of a redundant FM station and transmits the signal through there. They originally retailed for the £200 mark but can now be purchased for under £100. Hunt around...

Review of Revo IN-CAR DAB Digital Radio

Decent Car Radio

Advantages: Easy to use, good features, cheap
Disadvantages: Manual could be better written

...* My story * I?ve been meaning to get a new car radio since I bought the car last September. The old one was very basic, just a radio with a cassette player. A few weeks ago, after a loud pop sound from the speakers, the radio suddenly stopped. I tried various things, including checking the ariel and even the fuse ? no joy ? so off to Halfords I went. I made a 'must-have' list and a 'nice-to-have' list in my head. Most people do a little research and write down what they want but not me. After all, it?s just a radio for the car, isn?t it? Must-haves are: Radio (obvious really but it?s a good start), CD (and why not), and not forgetting the most important item: cheap (under £100). Nice-to-haves are: MP3, radio/cd text, DVD player (no wait, scrub that, that?s for next time), USB (for listening to MP3 without having to write to...

Review of Kenwood KDC-W 3037

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

Review of Real Radio Scotland

Radio 2 -- Easy Listening With Style!

Advantages: Diverse shows that appeal across the spectrum
Disadvantages: The mix can be a little strange at times.

...I always find it surprising as to the diversity of Radio 2, the schedule on any given night could contain a short half hour program about Folk music and another night a program about Theatre organs can be heard, I have listened to both and realised there is more to life than listening to such stations as Happy FM (or Capital) that tend to play the same record over and over again every two hours. Besdes these stations appear to be aimed at someone about 15 years younger than myself anyway. Radio 2 on the other hand caters for people of my age and boy they certainly deliver, I always tend to be in the car coming home or going somewhere when Elaine Paige is broadcasting. Sometimes the journey can be from hell at worst and other times just damn right boring. So to experience the diversity that Radio 2 offer on a Sunday is a bonus...

BBC Radio 1 Review

Advantages: Great Djs, Good music, Funny
Disadvantages: Run by BBC

...Hi today i will be reviewing BBC Radio 1. I usually listen to Radio 1 at night as its something to do while trying to get to sleep (not a bad thing!). I personally enjoy the Chris Moyles Show and Scott Mills mainly because I find Chris funny and Scott has some great features from the old angry pizza man wind up to the new Whats Becky's Forté which features Becky the Assistant Producer trying to find that talent she excels at. The Chris Moyles show is different than most other shows on Radio 1 in that its not just the presenter that gets involved the whole team have a great time and in turn help you to get ready for whatever your going to. During the day there is Jo Whiley, Sarah Cox and Edith Bowman. I personally don't listen to these just because I'm usually busy. For the few times I have listened to them they do film...

Review of BBC Radio 1

...And Your Radio's Def When My Record's On

Advantages: Classic Hip Hop
Disadvantages: A couple of the tunes are a little weak

..."Radio" is the debut release from LL Cool J, a rapper who has stuck with his record label, Def Jam since its creation a year before this album came out. LL's 1985 record came 23 years before his latest release "Exit 13" which recently came out, and so clearly this one shows how long he's been in the game, and the progression he has made. Upon release, Ladies Love Cool James (LL Cool J), the MC was only 17 years old, and had shown strong potential, which he clearly lived up to. 1. "I Can't Live Without My Radio" The track which the album is named after is the one to get things started for this album as you have LL Cool J come on some hard Rick Rubin beats about how his life revolves around his radio, and the music which it plays for him. Thsi is a powerful way to kick it all off, and you are bound to enjoy it. **Four Stars** 2...

Review of Radio - LL Cool J

Brilliant infant car seat

Advantages: Excellent for safety, comfort and totally practical
Disadvantages: no negatives for this product

...I used this for my daughter and used it from birth right through to the upper weight limit which is actually higher than most other car seats in this category. She always seemed so content in it and happily napped when travelling. The sun canopy is excellent, great for protecting the baby when driving and carrying about. Sun canopy also stores away easily when not in use, remaining attatched but out for the way. I also bought the easybase which made loading and unloading baby from car very quick and easy - especially when its raining which it so often does here. Also purchased mosquito net & Raincover both excellent purchases and in the UK I certainly needed them. I liked the fact that there were internal pads that could be removed as she grew to enable more comfort and space for her within the seat. Covers are easily removed for washing...
