My g/f wants to change her car radio to a DAB and was looking at some of the adapters on this and seen this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acoustic-Solu ... 1030003092

Does anyone have experience of these adapters or know which is best or would I be better just getting a new radio?

I've got one of the Pure Highway ones, its good but loads of wires to run around the car and a new stereo is a better bet, you'll probably need a new aerial too.

Buy a new car with the radio you want.

Possibly, I haven't used it with my new car that has an AUX lead yet. But the unit needs power from the 12v socket and has its own aerial so wasn't tidy.

You can get a dab app for your phone, take the train and leave the car, cod only knows but just for the halibut I would sell my sole not to drive on the shitty roads.
