Another superb device this week is the SmartDAB, which connects with your smartphone to give DAB radio in ANY car. The government hasn’t annoubced when they’ll be switching off the analoguie signal as yet but experts reckon it could be by the end of 2018.

Most new mainstream cars come with a DAB facility now but if yours doesn’t then this could be the answer. There’s a few products around that claim to give this facility but the one I tried required half the dashboard being removed and a degree in electronics!

However, the SmartDAB is plug and play is fitted in a few minutes all done using your phone and a free app and transmits via the built-in FM transmitter and 3.5mm aux lead.

You get one-touch operation, day/night mode and a USB port for charging. SmartDAB retails at £90 and is available now via www.autodab.com ENDS.
