Dab Motion In Rx400H

[harvey nichols]

I looking at options to fit a DAB radio in my 57 RX400h. So far, the only option that I've been told will work is the DAB Motion which operates with a wireless remote control and not the steering wheel controls. I wanted to ask if anyone has had any experience with that model, whether its a probe;em using the remote (which I gather doesn't need to be pointed at the unit) or whether there are any other DAB options for a RX400h? The DAB Motion also has an iPod interface so would also appreciate any feedback on whether that works well. Thanks

Have you looked at the just connect option?

Thanks. Have you used it? If so, do your steering wheel controls work with it as well? Looks like a good system.

Whoah, clever - notice how the JustConnect advert comes up in this thread, above, below and between each post (well, it does for me)? Clever website...

Looks like a good system - if I listened to a lot of radio (I don't), it would be a good upgrade.

EDIT: ah, not that clever - the adverts are now gone after I navigated away and then came back (sorry, I'm being very boring ... :eerrrmm: )

I use the pure highway dab.

Just sits in the central hideaway with a power supply from the 12v supply and a good quality aerial on the roof.

Work well.

John,

Did you get it professionally installed or is it possibile as a DIY project? I am looking to add MP3/DAB/AUX in and optionally a Bluetooth audio playback capability to my old RX 400h 2006 version and want to get as much as possible in a discreet-as-possible package. Pure Highway 300Di looks like a good option (minus Bluetooth).

Also, does it integrate with the wheel/console controls?

If you can live without DAB then get a GROM unit, simple to fit, i done ours took about half hour to fit, placed unit discretely in the glovebox too

Funny that you mention it - GROM USB2P (+ AUX + Bluetooth modules) is actually the one I am decided on at the moment - thinking too that I could live without DAB or buy it later and hook into GROM via AUX... In any case, the car already has iPhone/iPod integration (probably arranged for by one of the previous owners) - but I own just Android phones, so I was thinking just to get cheap iPod Nano 8GB and use it meanwhile and save some £s...

Eventually, once I get the GROM kit, I will be very happy if my COWON J3 player will work via Bluetooth and I will be able to control it via wheel controls (hoping that Bluetooth A2DP standard allows to control the player). Otherwise I will be ok just holding it in my hand as a remote - just like JustConnect DAB has one too...
