Cootway DAB-005 DAB / DAB+ Car Radio Adapter With Bluetooth FM Transmitter / Aux Output / Micro SD Card Three Play Modes, Portable 2.3" DAB Tuner Digital Audio Broadcasting With Dual USB Car Charger

The phone connectivity is good, it will change your internet radio stations from the unit as well as the phone and will give you a display of what is being played. As for the DAB radio, I have not managed to get it to find or even play one radio station. At first I thought it was because I was in the countryside, but even in London, it cannot find any radio stations. The only thing I didn't do when installing the aerial is to scrape the factory primer paint off the metal of the car, but I would have had to have taken the roof liner off the car to do it, and I am not keen on doing it. Anyway, if I put my multi meter on the metal, it shows conductivity with the paint still on. But I do not need DAB as I have access to internet radio.

I use this alot for handsfree but the dab ariel seems uneccesarily complicated. Ive peeled back fittings stuck things on the window and nowunderstand i need to possibly remove paint to get a good earth.My previous dab radio adapter only needed a wire and worked fine.Maybe i fitted it incorrectly but if its properly designed i shouldn't need to be an automotive electrician to get it to work.

Don't normally do reviews but for this I Need to. Just so people understand what it is. Firstly the positive. It arrived very quickly. However it went back even quicker. The unit weighs similar to a box of matches and not the big swan ones either. Very cheaply made. The included usb lead not long enough to reach unit on car windscreen. The power 12v not thick enough to sit in my car socket without moving and losing power. The fm transmitter is like a box of rice crispies. Snap crackle and pop. Had to shout very loud for anyone to hear me and was a real effort. Would of been going back at £9.99 never mind over £60.Still as the saying goes if it seems too good to be true that's because it is. Or you get what you pay for!! My advice spend your green on something else.

I really wanted DAB in my car so thought this would be an easy alternative to fitting a whole new car radio. I live where the DAB signal is good so thought this would be a good purchase. How wrong I was! When I was stationary outside my house it worked like a dream, however as soon as I started to move it started to crackle. Then when sitting at traffic lights it would cut out completely. I reinstalled the stick on aerial a number of times but this still didn’t help.In the end I just brought and installed a new DAB stereo.If you are thinking about getting one of these to save you replacing your car stereo I wouldn’t bother! Stick to a good old car stereo! In fact my new DAB stereo only cost me £5 more than this piece of junk !

Love it, great piece of kit fantastic signal (over 100 channels) even without having to connect the earth and easy to set up. Bluetooth works flawlessly and even pauses the music if you want to switch to radio then plays automatically when you choose BT again. Only niggle the cable management clips don't stick well (on plastic) so might want to invest in some other material to make neat and tidy. Overall better than others twice the price from some certain stores so if you car has no media input this is the kitty, you wont be disappointed.

Good bit of kit nice to have the radio in the car again

Fantastic converter to DAB for an old car with FM / poor AM. Gone are the days of 'crackle' radio. Easy to fit and set up. Added bonus is bluebooth to receive calls and play audio from phone / tablet / ipod. Excellent quality sound from the car speakers when using. Only downside is restricted to dialling last number received or called directly adapter.

When you get a good signal and set it up it's a good dab radio. Excellent signal where I am.It's easy enough to work, lots of digital radio stations to listen to. Plus can listen to your own music on thereQuick delivery and highly recommended
