About this deal

You can connect simultaneously to your car’s hands free Bluetooth and Highway’s BT music streaming (refer to your handsets BT connection guide). Personal Assistant : Access your smartphone's smart features through Siri or OK Google voice control Reception is excellent and I haven't lost a signal yet, it even stays playing where I use to loose FM radio stations. So anyone interested in adding dab to there car I can highly recommend the Pure Highway.

Note: Once paired with your Bluetooth device, Highway will automatically reconnect whenever it is in range. How long will the batteries of the wireless controller last? If you experience this some cars will let you change Bluetooth settings so the car is only used for hands free calling but not for music streaming. So you would need to use the car’s own Bluetooth just for phone calls and Highway 400 for Bluetooth music streaming. The Pure 600 takes a few seconds to find the local DAB stations and then it’s ready to go. Quality is very impressive, though it's obviously dependent on your car audio system and the DAB coverage in your area.

How does the DAB get to the stereo?

You can either hook up the aux cable or choose an FM frequency for the Pure 600 to transmit over. It defaults to 87.60 FM but can be configured however you choose. Using FM worked fine for us in testing – just tune the existing in-car FM radio to that frequency of the Highway 600 and you’re all set - but an aux-input is a better bet if possible, since it's not prone to interference.

Like all our products, Highway 600 was designed and engineered in the UK by our expert engineering teams. This means you can count on great sound, impressive build quality and allows us to offer the reassurance of a three year warranty as standard. Bluetooth : A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) 1.4 or above, OPP (Object Push Profile) Enjoy your own music choice and safe mobile calling with Highway 600 thanks to built-in Bluetooth.Pair your phone or tablet with Highway and listen wirelessly to your own music collection, or your favourite music streaming service through your existing audio system. The same Bluetooth connection lets you make and take calls on the go safely and clearly thanks to the dedicated call buttons and supplied microphone. Disconnect the USB cable from Highway’s power adapter and plug it into an available USB port on your laptop. Optionally, you can set up a Bluetooth connection to your phone to enable more features. This is definitely worth doing because it means you can stream music from your phone, including with Spotify, Deezer or any other music streaming service. It also provides access to your phonebook to make and receive calls through the car audio system, hands-free, with impressive quality.

The Pure Highway 400 is one of the best DAB/DAB+ car adapters available in 2017. It’s relatively easy to fit, looks smart and offers better sound quality than you’d get from FM. However, the reception isn’t as strong as it could be, and the adapter is fairly expensive. Alternative adapters to consider Next, you’ll need to put your Highway into USB mode. On Highway’s wireless controller, press the Home button and turn and press the Select dial to choose ‘ SETTINGS’>‘ USB UPDATE’> Confirm by choosing ‘ YES’. If I had to mention negative points about it, I'd have to say that although it's not bad, it's not quite as sensitive as my old system. That did however have a proper 1/4 wave external aerial, so it's just physics - an outside aerial will always give better results. Also, as a necessary consequence of being battery powered, the controller goes into standby after so many seconds, and also you don't get any programme (SI) information. It does do traffic information (according to the manual), but I've yet to hear any.

Setup was simple and took seconds and it boots instantly so there's no delay from turning the car on to the radio playing. You can also stream music from your phone using Bluetooth and it will also stream and control Spotify Premium from your mobile. Whilst connected to the pure Go mobile application, the Go button can be used as the `hot key` to trigger your chosen music on demand service and identify music. The music will be streamed to your Highway product using Bluetooth. Can I connect my phone to multiple Bluetooth devices including Highway (i.e. existing hands free car kit and Highway 400)? The Pure Go application does not support cached music (Music on demand stored locally on your mobile device), so a data connection is needed. What is the Go button? To install the Pure Highway 400 in your car, you will need a safe and secure place to attach the receiver and antenna, as well as a 12V power source or a USB power point. The antenna needs to be placed on the windshield to get a good reception. The receiver connects to the car stereo via an aux cable. This means your car stereo will need to have an aux input to use this adapter. Note: If you don’t have a laptop, you will need to remove Highway’s antenna from your windscreen and upgrade the software using a PC running Windows 7 8 and 10.The Pure Highway 400 consists of three main parts: the receiver which you place inside the windscreen, and the antenna which is placed externally on the windshield, and finally wireless controller which is attached to the dashboard. Before starting - there are several requirements needed to ensure a successful software upgrade via USB: In some cases there may be conflict with existing in car Bluetooth systems for iPhone users. You will notice Highway will play for a minute or so, then the car will take control, so the audio from Highway goes silent. You will be asked ‘ Do you want to upgrade all?‘Press ’Y’ and then press the ‘Return’ button on your laptop . Designed as an easy-fit solution for the millions of vehicles on the road worldwide without digital radio, you’ll find Highway 600 easy to install in your car, in most cases you won’t even need any tools, just a few simple steps and you’ll be up and running.
