FirstE Car DAB/DAB+ Radio Adapter 2.3" LCD Bluetooth FM Transmitter Handsfree Call Car Kit MP3 Player Music Receiver, Portable Digital Radio with 5V 2.1A USB Port /SD Card/AUX Output/DAB Antenna

This product has excellent and reliable reception. It is easy to install and the flexible arm allows the screen to be positioned in a convenient direction. It comes with everything I needed to attach the magnetic antenna to the top of the windscreen and route the cable discretely round to the device. (I was able to keep the cable almost completely hidden from view remarkably easily, via the plastic trim around the door and behind the fuse panel cover under the glove box in my Honda Jazz.) Scanning for new stations was quick and simple, and I could also easily save my favourite stations as pre-sets so that the rotating button allows me to switch directly between only my favourite stations. If you are looking for Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, it is important to remember that this station does not broadcast 24/7, so you may need to check the schedule online and wait until a sports event is being broadcast in order to find the channel. But once I had figured that out, the device picked up the station immediately. The screen is bright and easy to read, except perhaps for when the text is scrolling very quickly. Pairing to a mobile phone via Bluetooth worked really well and is a very useful additional feature. The inclusion of an additional USB charging port is really well thought-out and allows me to charge another device, such as my Sat Nav, at the same time as using the digital radio, without the need to buy any additional adapters/splitters. Perhaps one small improvement would be for the device to remember whether it was switched on or off when the engine is turned on, rather than switching on automatically every time you start the car, but this does not present any real difficulty and may be better for some users. Overall, the clarity, sound quality, and ease of installation and use make this product very easy to recommend. Definitely excellent value for money and I am extremely happy with my choice.

Wanted to convert my fm radio to dab already have in car usb for phone. Very easy to install there is a video on youtube which shows you how, hardest part was tucking away the wires but once done looks great, sound quality excellent. I connected to my aux plug in the car which gives better sound wuality apparently. Took me ages to tune it in until i realised my car has an aux option on the media input. Duh ! I also bought a cigarette lighter adaptor so i could plug in dash cam and dab radio at once. I then hit a snag as soon as connected dash cam lost radio signal to dab radio. Did some searching online and bought some ferrite cores put one on each end of wires going into dab radio and each end of wires going into dash cam. Problem solved immediately. My dashcam is a combined front and rear laksara dashcam. Love that i can now get my fav radio channels and not restricted to just a few fm channels when doing a long drive. If you dont already have usb ports there is a port on the dab radio for charging your usb device. You can connect your blue tooth phone or your ipod to the device to play spotify or your own music. There is also an sd slot to play music (not tried yet) . Very happy with the way this device looks it is neat and smaller than expected with very good finish love the goose neck connection. Not done long journey yet so will update later. Very well pleased with this. I know nothing about media but am tech savvy but i dont think you need to be to set this up.

Easy to install. Up and running in no time. Found all the DAB channels no problem with a great clear sound. It connects to my phone via Bluetooth, so I can receive incoming calls. It can play mp3 songs that you can store on a micro card, though there are limitations it is great for random play. The unit plugs straight into the cigarette socket which was a problem in my car as this is low down and is dangerous when operating or looking at the screen. I bought an extension kit so I could fix the unit higher up. I connected the unit via the aux socket, but you can apparently connect by tuning in to an unused FM channel which I did try, but could not get to work, though I did not try too hard in doing this. Overall it is great value for the money.

Bought this in September 2018 and for almost 2 months it worked faultlessly. It is easy to set up and I’ve had no drop outs regarding any DAB channel despite living in the country. The display is easy to read and you can reduce the backlight brightness and switch off the light behind the buttons via an easy to use menu.Unfortunately, today the unit decided to stop working. I can no longer receive any DAB channels despite several attempts to retune it isn’t receiving any signal. I’ve emailed the seller and I’m hoping for a prompt reply for either a replacement or my money back.UPDATE: The seller has been in touch and provided me with a code number to obtain a replacement with 99% discount which I have taken up the offer. Fingers crossed the replacement unit is working fine.

I bought this as an easy way to add DAB radio to my R56 Mini without having to change the head unt (which is a bit of task on a Mini). The unit comes with everything you need including the DAB window antenna, which has a handy magnetic earth cable attached, which made it pretty easy.Install of the antenna on my Mini took about 30 mins as I had to remove a few dash panels and a windscreen side cover, but that allowed me to run the cable fully hidden from view with the antenna plug exiting in the centre console near the 12v power outlet.The version I got plugs straight into the 12v socket and has the receiver mounted directly to it - it works well and doesn't move about on its own. Connection to the antenna and Aux in for the Mini was easy, and can be removed quickly too if required.Sound quality is pretty good - and at least as good as the FM and CD inputs on my head unit. DAB works really well and the screen shows the usual DAB text. Theres also a micro SD socket on the unit which I've loaded a few mp3's onto - these sound good too, which was a bonus as I was really just looking for DAB.BT is present as well, and no problems there either.I've given this a good rating and only the install wasn't 5 stars for me, but to be fair that really depends on the car and the antenna cable run.
