Looks cool, no DAB/DAB+, so that makes it a non-starter, and using radio apps on the phone also, 1Gb of data/month can be used in a week. Otherwise, looks fine.

Not wholly sure what that gains you above any regular head unit with a USB port or A2DP support and an in-car phone mount, TBH? Seems a lot of money for something you can do pretty much for free.

I use Tune-In Radio Plus on my iPhone all the time. Works really well.

I use it both in the bedroom on a morning and I have a hands-free unit in the car so, if I want to listen to Radio 4 extra or something like that, I just send it through the car speakers.

I'm on Three so I don't have any broadband limits, though.

Edit - OMG - I've just seen the price of that thing!!! Seriously, get a good Parrot hands free kit and use your phone as the radio source instead!
