I have purchased the Highway 600 and fitted it today. At home after first installing it, I picked up 33 stations, this is the norm for the area I live in. Went out to Bangor, reception just fell off continuously until, well frankly it was appalling. Called into Halfords where I bought it, they looked at how I’d fitted it, not wanting to sound big headed, they seemed impressed, concluded that perhaps it was a faulty unit. Bugged me during early evening and I went out to fiddle about with it. I noticed that the magnetic earthing strip wasn’t connecting to the actual roof but a bracing piece, maybe these are bonded to the roof not welded. I drilled a small hole through the brace and the magnet fixed to the roof good and proper. Took the car out for a run, signal was 100% better. So making sure the magnet is properly attached looks to be important. Halfords were willing to exchange the whole kit without quibble even though I’d fitted it.
The only drawback to this unit is the favourite presets. If you change DAB stations frequently You have to hold the button down then turn the knob to find which preset you want.
Hey, is there a way to save multiple stations on the transmitter at the same time? It can be a hassle having to click around alot and do it all over again if the one station I choose didn't work properly. I don't know if this is a feature or not because I didn't find anything in the manual about it, sometimes it takes so long to find the best station for the area. Thank you, I love this product but I really want this feature☹
If I 'purely' (no pun intended) just wanted to use the Bluetooth streaming part of the product and didn't care about DAB do I still need the controller unit? I assume the real business end is the receiver box? I've tried everywhere to find a simple fm/aux bluetooth transmitter that has an external microphone and out of hundreds on the market this is the only thing that is closest. Why do manufacturers believe that a 'built in' mic is actually of any use? . People serious about calling on the move need external mics.
Bonjour, comment faut-il procéder pour enregistrer une station radio sous un numéro de mémoire ? Lorsque je suis sur une station, que j’appuie sur Preset, puis sur < > il n’y a aucun numéro de mémoire qui apparaît pour pouvoir enregistrer la station comme indiqué dans le mode d’emploi du Highway 200. Faut-il appuyer en même temps sur Preset et < > pour q’un numéro de mémoire permettant l’enregistrement apparaît ? Merci
Does my existing car radio need to be working to install this? I ordered one because I cant find my radio code to power the original back on so thought I may as well upgrade to DAB.
Hello, thank you for reaching out! Yes, the car radio is required to reproduce the sound. The Highway is simply an external receiver, but the audio is still reproduced by the existing car radio system. Transferring the signal to the car radio is either possible by connecting to an Aux input, or by a selected FM frequency.
All of a sudden mine stopped working and wouldn't pair with the antenna. I have tried resetting and re pairing the controller with the antenna a number of times following the instructions and it still doesn't work now.

Ive got a 600. I installed it today eventually synced phone and got people to be able to hear me. All good so far. I was sitting in my front room and had to go out to the van and unplug the power lead from the socket as the bluetooth would not disconnect. Any ideas?
My Pure Highway 400 intermittently stops display and sticks on whatever setting it last used, when last used on Spotify it seems to log on but doesn't play, the same for bluetooth, only giving about a second of sound before stopping, when it was on Digital radio it will play the last station tuned in and won't change. Now it is looking for antenna connection when display came back on, tried to reset, but will not pair, still playing Digital radio on last selection. How do I reset?

Hi Simon, if there isn't a magnetic roof to install the grounding tail then this part can be fitted to an alternative metal/magnetic part of the vehicles bodywork. The A pillar would normally be the other place we suggest. Failing that the metal grounding tail can just be left in the box, unconnected from the rest of the Highway. It is an optional part which is there as an addition/boost to aid with signal. You may experience a drop in performance without it.
Ive been trying to update my DAB Highway 600 antenna - i've downloaded the update and unpluggedthe USB cable & plugged it into my PC.

Window antennae are awful. My advice, always use a roof mounted DAB specific car aerial connected to a 12v source (usually from the rear of the car audio head unit), this way you are pretty much guaranteed a good reception wherever you go.
Why isn't there a iso connection, or hard wire option? all this cabling . power adaptor and control box on the screen makes it look very "Halfords" ive had an older 300di unit, which simply plugged into the iso leads, much neater....

cant reset this pure bad quality product play one station on display are writing connecting to antenna have trying to reset many times doesn't work, for money what spend one year used not worth to buy.
How are you connecting the Highway? Is it through the Auxiliary Line-in port or are you using FM Transmit? Have you ensured that you are powering the unit from the cigarette lighter using our supplied USB adapter? Does your vehicle have a heated windscreen, UV filter or any in-built/external electronics? i.e. sat-nav, dashcam or multimedia system. Are you using the supplied metal grounding tail that slides under the cars headlining?
There are many possibilities why a transmission via FM transmitter can be disturbed. The signals can overlap, be attenuated or interrupted. The built-in electronics of your car can also cause this interference. Basically, a connection via the AUX connection is always the best and safest transmission. If you have any further technical questions, please contact our technical department directly. support.pure.com/en-GB/new-ticket

Do you have to use Ap to pair unit to I phone Through Bluetooth please
Hello! Thank you for reaching out. No, you don't have to use the app to pair the unit to your phone via Bluetooth! The Pure Go App adds the ability to tag music tracks and browse and stream music from the Spotify App. All other features such as streaming over Bluetooth, and handling phone calls is possible without the app.
hi, am i able to use google maps with this device so directions come through the cars speakers whilst the DAB radio is on? i have tried using google maps whilst the highway dab is on in aux mode but google maps does not come through the speakers. thanks
There is a function in the Google Maps settings called "Treat announcements like a call" or something like that. Please switch this "on". BR, Marco
@@PureAudioHQ hi, i have already looked at this setting and it was on, i tried turning it off and back on but still no luck. I dont think there is a way to enable google maps to speak over the radio.
We will have to check with our engineers on this question. For easier communication, please open a support ticket. support.pure.com/en-GB/new-ticket
@@PureAudioHQ I opened a support ticket 2 days ago and still awaiting a response. Thanks
Would this work with heated screen ? My front and rear are both heated and a 5 door car so can't use the rear windows ?
Heated windscreens can have a negative effect on reception. Therefore we cannot guarantee an interference-free reception. BR, Marco
@@PureAudioHQ thanks for the quick response. I'll look more into external arials
I get a decent signal on my mini cooper with heated front screen.
Can I play the music from my phone (not spotify) to the pure 600?
yes, via Bluetooth. BR, Marco
Can the pure highway be installed on Nissan qashqai with glass roof
Hi Philip. Yes, the Highway can be used with a panoramic roof. If there isn't a fixed, magnetic roof to install the grounding tail then this part can be fitted to an alternative metal/magnetic part of the vehicles bodywork. The A pillar would normally be the other place we suggest.
Failing that the metal grounding tail can just be left in the box, unconnected from the rest of the Highway. It is an optional part which is there as an addition/boost to aid with signal. You may experience a drop in performance without it. Thanks
So if u donf have an aux port what happe s
I don't have aux in function on my car they say to add this into the fm transmitter? Am a little lost on that part anyone know how that's done? Thanks
Hi there, thank you for your question. Please do reach out to our technical support via support.pure.com/en-GB/new-ticket
They will be able to provide some guidance.
Pure go app is ass, can’t connect spotify to it no matter what i do. I have premium, i logged in and pressed the accept button to link it and nothing happened. When i am connected to the highway 400 via bluetooth the music on my phone pauses automatically half a second after i start it.

Hello mate will this fit on the 2005 toyota yaris
Our Highway devices are very versatile products. To be sure that our Highway works in your car, please contact your local dealer directly. BR, Marco
Window antennae are awful. My advice, always use a roof mounted DAB specific car aerial connected to a 12v source (usually from the rear of the car audio head unit), this way you are pretty much guaranteed a good reception wherever you go.
Can i just replace the antenna if i need a DAB or do i need to replace the exsiting wiring ?
Absolutely nothing wrong with them as long as you can fit them properly and aren't a klutz
Why isn't there a iso connection, or hard wire option? all this cabling . power adaptor and control box on the screen makes it look very "Halfords" ive had an older 300di unit, which simply plugged into the iso leads, much neater....
Thanks for taking the time to provide us with this feedback. All customer feedback is read and considered here at Pure, so please be assured your suggestions will be passed to the relevant teams for future consideration. BR, Marco

@@PureAudioHQ thank you for your prompt reply
What do you think
Seems a lot of hassle and wires?
....yeah, and let's hope you don't need to replace the windscreen.
@@nigelb5341 I just don't see how it's less hassle than installing a new stereo? Maybe I'm missing something lol
i just fitted mine it took 5 mins in my jazz and it was no hassle at all and hardly a wire showing tbh

Why am I getting static on my 400 when it's playing a station
How are you connecting the Highway? Is it through the Auxiliary Line-in port or are you using FM Transmit?
Have you ensured that you are powering the unit from the cigarette lighter using our supplied USB adapter?
Does your vehicle have a heated windscreen, UV filter or any in-built/external electronics? i.e. sat-nav, dashcam or multimedia system.
Are you using the supplied metal grounding tail that slides under the cars headlining?
@@PureAudioHQ via fm transmission and it’s powered by usb via 12v socket
There are many possibilities why a transmission via FM transmitter can be disturbed. The signals can overlap, be attenuated or interrupted. The built-in electronics of your car can also cause this interference. Basically, a connection via the AUX connection is always the best and safest transmission.
If you have any further technical questions, please contact our technical department directly.

I've just fitted the highway 600 to my daughter's vehicle. When she is listening to music from her Spotify through the device after a short time the connection breaks and just goes to static. We have not connected the aux cord because it is not long enough to reach the port in the car, is this the reason it is disconnecting?

Its to advanced. Really not easy to use
Save your time and effort. Just go buy an aftermarket dab radio. These are awful. A nightmare to fit. Nothing sticks. Just not worth the hassle. Going straight back.

Utterly useless. Trim on windscreen on Skoda Yeti is completely adhered to the windscreen. 5 minutes of prising ( as carefully as possible) to create a gap between the two cracked my windscreen. Hopeless design. Avoid!

As an update: gave this to the garage and they had to bore a hole in the ceiling trim to get it to work. Be aware!

Hi. I have purchase the pure Highway 400 and my question is can I play link my ytmusic 🎶 (TH-cam account) instead of Spotify through it . ?
Hi James, thank you for your question. Since the Highway 400 enables Bluetooth streaming there should be no issue listening to TH-cam Music via your connected device.
Can i replace my exsiting ariel to a DAB ariel or is it also the wiring i need to replace ?
Hello, thank you for reaching out! The Highway 400/600 models are designed to work with the ariels they come with, and it's not possible to use external or different aerials with them.
How far can the cable be split, my aux is in the glove box yet my 12v supply is next to the gear stick.
You can split the cable in a length of about 2m. BR, Marco
@@PureAudioHQ thanks for your quick reply, that's really helpful
