Default Dab radio

I'm thinking of fitting a dab radio in my v70 2008 car. Any advice?

This is pretty good and is the new version of the unit volvo used to supply as an accessory

https://www.pure.com/uk/car-audio/products/highway-600

they also do a 400 version which is cheaper if you are not interested in the phone answering function

Www.dabonwheels.co.uk is a good start point

The older pure highway 300di which Volvo offered is more involved to install but you have the option of any aerial, when I had one I found the included one to be crap even compared to the basic Halfords stick on one.

Can vouch for this. I've the Clarion branded version that seems to be identical. Installation easy enough. Year and a half later and still on original CR2032 battery in the head unit. Phone facility pretty good too of basic. I've the silly SIM card phone system in my car so phone facility option was key in decision making process.
