If your car is missing a DAB radio tuner, or you want to stream your Spotify playlists, the Pure Highway could be just the ticket.

Both the Highway 400 and 600 support Bluetooth wireless streaming, Spotify Connect and DAB radio, but the 600 has the added benefit of a hands-free phone system.

Siri and OK Google personal assistant commands on iOS and Android phones can be accessed through the supplied adapters. The normal range of voice commands can be used, including asking for the weather, latest news or making a phone call.

The adapters have a built-in music discovery feature as well, so when you hear a song you like on either radio or Spotify, you can press and hold the ‘Go’ button to add it to a custom playlist.

The adapters can attach anywhere on your dashboard, the antenna to the windscreen and the power cable tucks away behind the interior trim.

The Pure Highway 400 and 600 are available from April 2016 for £130 and £150 respectively.

But being the wonderful English guy he is, he helps out with content across a number of Future sites, including What Hi-Fi?. It wouldn't be his first exposure to the world of all things hi-fi and home cinema, as his first role in technology journalism was with What Hi-Fi? in the UK. Clearly he pined to return after making the move to Australia and the team have welcomed him back with arms wide open.
