Many in car digital radios and adapters also often come with additional features such as Bluetooth and handsfree.
And if you already love listening to your favourite digital stations at home, why not get them in your car too?

- A hidden adapter which also uses your existing radio, except you can navigate stations using your car’s built in controls.
- A new replacement fitted DAB radio. They often come with extra features such as Bluetooth and hands free.
