Nope, doesn’t help at all mate I’m afraid.

not just that mate, i quite like the idea of a usb port for a stick with a load of albums on, instead of cds. im sort of trying to head in that direction with music really, ripping all my cds to flac for my squeezebox at home etc.
i commute 40 mins each way, and it seems to be a choice of moyles or evans in the morning, scott mills at teatime. i just really like the eclectic mix on 6 music, and an hour ad a half each day of that rather than chart sh*te would enrich my life somewhat 😀

how does the original differ? is it windscreen mounted and newer one smaller and can sit somewhere more practical? any other differences? and how did you connect it? to the aux? and was it between the front seats?

just a bit of an update if anyones interested. it may help someone whos after doing same as me. i downloaded ‘tune in radio’ app for my desire HD. it finds 6 music! 😀 played fine in my house for an hour without cutting out or owt, so i bought a 3.5 jack lead both ends, connected to aux in the car and there it was, 6 music through the speakers 🙂

but……..it keeps cutting out in the car. back at home, try again, perfect. back to car, cuts out >-(

need to investigate further to see if i can make this work for me.

any suggestions most welcome 🙂

cheers

Djaustin, are you just listening to it through its own speakers, or connecting to aux and playing through car radio? cws, I like the look of that, but not much different to the pure highway 300di is it? Bit cheaper but it doesn’t say anything about free fitting, the link shows another £25 to fit.

Thanks

o…..kay, heres what im thinking at the moment. bit of a strange one, and nobodys suggested anything like it yet, so im assuming it wont work. but…… could i unscrew my original fm aerial, screw in a dab aerial that i would buy, and then connect this bad boy to the aux socket under my armrest?
surely it cant be that simple? can it??

same here with the tune-in mate. and im not particularly happy about the whole podcast thing now, i was assuming i could play catch up on shows :-/

im now going back to concentrating on getting it live in the car 😀

i thought i was there with the ‘unscrew fm aerial, swap with dab aerial’ thing, but apparently id need an adaptor, and also connect it to whatever standalone unit i bought THEN plug into aux, rather than the leaving the aerial connected to the actual car radio itself.

im like a dog with a bone tho, i NEED to listen to 6 music in the car!! 😀

update on progress so far. ive now bought a small ‘clarity’ unit from dabonwheels, with the telescopic kinetic external glass mount aerial. pretty pleased with it so far although as its been chucking it down i havent got round to sticking the external section of aerial on yet.

basically, the unit will play digital radio either through aux, or save clutter by sending signal over fm for my car stereo to pick up. i just need to ensure the aerial will do the job ok, and ill secure the aerial (its gaffa taped at the mo in case it has to go back).

signal drops sometimes at the mo but hopefully thatll be sorted when i fit external aerial. i was hoping to fit it centrally behind rear view mirror but ive got a large section of shaded glass there and apparently you cant fit the aerials on that section of the glass. itll mebbes have to go top corner passenger side but thatll look a bit crap, so not totally sure yet.

thanks to everyone who’s given advice. its been a slog, but nearly there now 😀
