DABmotion review

The hard-wired DABmotion kit consists of a box that sits behind and attaches to the original FM radio.

DABmotion
Overall Auto Express rating

4.0

Best price: £149.99

The hard-wired DABmotion kit consists of a box that sits behind and attaches to the original FM radio, plus a control unit that sticks to the dashboard. Unlike the winning Pure adaptor, there’s no display, so as with the AutoDAB, station information is relayed on to the original radio’s screen. Still, operation is slick, and DAB reception only just inferior to the top two. Signal broke up very rarely, and wasn’t enough to be annoying.
