Update. Unit fitted and plugged into the aux connection.
Sound quality is good from both DAB and USB (in glovebox).

Adding DAB and USB
Hi, am I reading this correct, the 300i has a socket to play music via usb? Thanks.Sidewaze Samm wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2019 5:18 pm I have recently fitted a Pure Highway Drive Digital/300Di. It's hard-wired in, not powered from the socket, and gives a choice of three ways to connect to the head unit; FM transmitter, aux socket or via antenna input. I chose the aux socket method, as the unit provides it's own aux input capability along with USB. So I have the original head unit (standard Business CD) but with DAB radio and both USB and aux input capabilities. The only thing I don't have is bluetooth, which doesn't bother me.

You're reading correctly - I've got a 8Gb USB stick in mine which gives me loads of tunes.KevBrowne wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 4:24 pmHi, am I reading this correct, the 300i has a socket to play music via usb?

But you refer to 300i - not sure if there might be a difference with my 300Di...

Cheers Sidewaze, I've just ordered one, well, I've ordered the Alpine version - exactly the same apart from you can change colours & it's somehow cheaper??
