Just wondering if anyone here is using/listening to digital radio in DAB+ format.

I got myself a Pure Highway digital receiver for my car - Sounds brilliant - definately better than FM in terms of clarity, but not as good as CD. Some stations unfortunately sound like low quality MP3s - you can notice the compression.

Is anyone else using any other brand of reciever for their cars?

No intsaller required - You mount it like a sat nav - the wires are annoying. The unit will either transmit via the built in FM transmitter or via an 3.5mm AUX/headphone connector.

I did a hidden setup whereby the unit is in my glove box - this prevents "most" of the wires being exposed - but makes it a pain to change stations.

Re-transmitting on FM seems wrong, I thought the main cool thing besides the song titles was the apparently "CD quality" radio, transmitting via FM will lose the quality.

I use USB personally but I would like to try the AUX input and hook up a digital receiver to it....when there are some more mature products for it around that I can get cheaply :down:

Satellite radio costs too much, those models are struggling to survive in the USA.

I think I'll wait a while, the receivers cost way too much $$$ at the moment, I'm hoping the market will get more saturated in the next 6months and therefore price will drop a lot....

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
