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....

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
