Nice bit of kit
First one when powered up had vertical white lines across the display and sound quality was awful. Replacement ordered and original returned. Replacement works perfectly. I am using the aux input on my car sound system and this unit provides excellent sound quality. Not tried using the FM link.Only criticism is the menus when first used are in Norwegian and finding where to change the language is a matter of trial and error.Now it's in English the menus are simple to follow and set up and use. So far the supplied windscreen mounted aerial has provided a good enough signal. In weak signal areas then a different aerial may be needed.

Easy to Fit. Works Brilliantly
I drive a lot and wanted to listen to stations like LBC and Radio 4 Extra, as well as using my mobile 'phone handsfree (my car's audio defiantly refusing to connect to my Motorola mobile). I bought the POP unit, and it was working brilliantly within 15 minutes of unpacking it. The sound is great, the reception is excellent, and I can, at last, chat handsfree with clients, family, and friends (not to forget listening to playlists and downloads from Spotify). A fantastic little unit! When I recently changed my car, I needed a bit of technical advice from the supplier, and emailed them. The customer service was outstanding (far better than popular mobile 'phone providers, or utility companies), and Victoria kept me in touch with the progress on my questions. She was prompt with responses and a real credit to the company. Many of our larger organisations could do well to follow her example, and the POP unit is now happily installed in my new car, soothing my long lonely journeys on Britain's motorway network.

Zero stars is unfortunately not an option!
Yes I know I'm late to the party with in car DAB radio, and unfortunately this means DAB adapter options for factory radios are few and far between.I bought this Pop your car 3.0 because it was seemingly the only sensible option when compared to others on the market now.My first alarm bells should have sounded when I searched for info and reviews. Only 1 YouTube video appeared and it was the manufacturers how to install video. Amazon reviews are mixed but at around 3.9 stars at the time of purchase.The first one arrived damaged inside its box, it was returned and a replacement ordered.The second one arrived in much better condition. It was retively easy to install, but as an electrical engineer, I couldn't understand how the magnetic ground connection on the antenna would ground correctly and effectively through paint on the vehicles chassis, however I continued with the install.Once installed it powered up as expected, I configured it for english language as it's defaulted to Norwegian or similar. First station scan failed to find any stations. Second scan found 6.I sat and listened for a while and the signal kept dropping regularly, sometimes for many minutes at a time. I took the car for a drive and signal strength appeared more stable in built up areas. As soon as I left the town, the signal completely went away. I rescanned and found 62 stations but the signal and reception did not improve.I tried another method of grounding the antenna but this made no improvement. It appeared the only way I could get a good ground connection was to remove the magnetic connection from the vehicle chassis and hold it between my fingers, effectively using my body as the ground connection. However this is not at all a practical solution.Additionally, when the windscreen wipers are in use and they pass over the antenna, the signal drops as it's momentarily blocked by the moving metal wiper blades.The head unit may well work better with a different type of antenna, but the amplified stick on the windscreen type provided does not work well at all.I will be removing it from my car at the weekend and sending it back for another refund.Absolutely useless, I'd rather just continue to listen to FM radio and put up with occasional fuzz or having to change station when signal is lost. Maybe I'll just use my phone for Internet radio, it seems to drop the signal less than this Pop your car 3.0 P.O.S.It's a no from me!

Works Perfectly
I nearly didn't buy this after reading some reviews stating the unit didn't pick up stations or had poor reception. The opposite was true in my case, this has actually scanned more DAB stations than the in built stereo in my last three cars ever managed (2019 Renault Captur, 2020 Vauxhall Corsa, 2016 Audi A3). I've bought an older vehicle now, and really wanted DAB again. My guess would be previous reviews may not have installed correctly. It has a magnetic aerial contact which has to attach to bare metal underneath your roof lining so you need to take time and car to remove this sufficiently to get decent visibility to where you're magnet is contacting the metal. I can easily imagine people getting it wrong at this stage. I've tested it on country roads, motorways and around town. It has lost signal once or twice for a brief few seconds but I've never had in car DAB that didn't do that once in a while but I'd say it works at least 99% of the time. Amazing quality for the price. Take time to install it properly and I'm sure it will work well for you too. I don't normally take time to write reviews but I nearly got put off buying this by negative reviews so thought I'd try and help someone out.

Disappointed
Amazing dab radio, I bought it seven months ago and the other day just stopped working..It's a shame really because it took me a long time to install the antenna

Easy to use and clear display.
This unit works really well with a clear display and easy to use button set up. For the price it is well worth the money...

Brilliant!
As an alternative to the great expense and hassle of swapping out my irregularly shaped FM car radio in my ancient Punto to a DAB radio, I didn't have high hopes for this but thought I'd give it a try. It just seemed too good to be true for the price, but I was pleasantly surprised! It was easy to set up and has very good reception and sound quality through my existing car radio. The controls are easy to operate and you can add 10 presets, which is very handy. I now have a multitude of DAB channels to choose from along with my normal FM stations. Very pleased with it.
