PURE Highway 600 DAB/Bluetooth Adapter Review - Is It Any Good?

The PURE Highway 600 gives you quick and access to digital radio stations (DAB/DAB+), Bluetooth for music and calls, your Spotify playlist plus other cool features.

I've seen alot of comments on these DAB adaptors that use a magnet for the Antenna ground plane to the vehicle about poor signal. those magnets on the DAB antennas are useless (unless you are in a very strong signal area) What I did - far better, cut the magnet off & crimp a ring terminal to the wire, pick a small area above the roof liner or behind A-pillar trim and remove the paint down to bare metal, drill a hole and fix the ring terminal directly to the body of the vehicle with a self-tapping screw - or you could extend the wire to the nearest ground stud. You will get a far better ground connection to the body, then if you have drilled any holes cover any bare metal with some silicone. The improvement it made was incredible! Only drawback of course, obviously as you are modifying the antenna it would void the guarantee & you wouldn't be able to send it back if needed (I didn't need to anyway)

Thanks for this review, been looking at the 400 as I already have BT phone connection. You've answered the majority of my questions! Cheers!

Been using this unit for years. You taught me a few new features that I didn’t know it had. Thanks !

Was going to get one but the app is not supported so just went for the 400

If your using fm and the aux lead is not connected, it defeats the object of having the unit if you already have fm. As you have only shown it using fm.

i can’t connect mine to Spotify. it just plays for a second then stops. i can’t figure out how to sort this, does anyone know? thanks!

[finalstander]

Good video thanks, however my microphone is not working. When I make a call or receive a call the other person cannot hear me but I hear them. I checked the wires and setting so everything is correct. I have a bad cable maybe? Or can it be something else?

Thanks for the review, Question for you, after you set up the Highway 600, if you got your sat-nav on your smartphone, does it come through to your car audio system?

[gtoner]

well done good vid mate :) waiting on the 600 from Amazon

[mrroverrover]

I'm aware the controller is battery powered but does it turn itself on and off with the ignition and resume where it was from when switched off?
I'm looking at getting one for my van but I don't want to have to turn it on separately every time I get back in van, I need it to just work when I start the van just as the existing radio does.

Hi I have one and have the following issues,
1)won’t sync contacts with iPhone keeps saying check phone,
2) I have Spotify premium and when you try and play a song using the highway controls and
You press Play the soundtrack comes out my phone not my car,
The dab radio works fine and normal Bluetooth music works ok out the car speakers.
3) can’t make calls as hasn’t sync any contacts.

Just installed one of these, works great with just the ignition on but gets no signal or channels with the engine running, any ideas ?

[BMWDoctor]

Brother this is a lie this is not a good unit this is a brilliant unit 😂😂😂

[andrewyarwood]

I'm having a issue with this on phone calls I can here incoming but they are unable to hear me outgoing.

[mattbatten]

Does the 3M sticky back attachment come with the unit?

[DroneSeekersInternational]

Not sure if its the antenna or where I live but the signal is very poor I cant use it for DAB radio which is annoying but FM radio it is, although works well with my iPod music

[vreyhoudtghose]

Thanks for the review. I’d like to purchase this unit but I was asking myself one thing. If I play music from my phone directly to my car stereo: will the pure display what song is playing? And will the play and other buttons on the device work? Or will it do so only if the music is playing trough the pure unit itself?

[sonnyday]

Good review I like to change My DAB favourite presets if I don't like a song so it would be a real pain holding that button down every time. I'm glad I didn't buy one now. I'll put my Kenwood DAB back in my new car.

[markfenton]

Hi can't get spotofiy none premium to work was it a miss print on video cheers

[koalsam]

Thanks for your explanation. It really help me fix mine and everything works fine. But immediately when connected by new batteries is on 2bars and I wonder why? Also, how and what can you use to remove the device adhesive pad without damaging your car? Thank you.
