I have factory fit DAB in my caddy and even that drops out occasionally.

Great idea but don't spend too much on one.

I have a dabmotion in my van. The glass mount works with the heated screen despite the instructions saying no. Reception is good 99% of the time

I've got factory Sony DAB in my Transit, OK most of the time, just had a Pioneer AVIC960DAB fitted in my F350, amazing unit you can even pause & rewind up to around 15mins of what you have been listening to, plus loads of other stuff I haven't worked out how to use yet!

I have a Pure Highway in my tractor. It's good most of the time. The problem is the empty FM frequency, or normally lack of of one. Depending on barometric pressure I can get all sorts of strange radio stations infiltrating my FM frequencies. So days I will spend all day retuning, which is a pain the the arse and keep in mind I might be in the same field all day. If you're travelling around in a van you will be having to do this all the time. So you will be subject to the DAB signal dropping in and out which it does plus be at the mercy of FM and all its legitimate and pirate stations.

So far I haven't needed to retune in over 4 months...

I had a Pure Highway, absolutely loved it, it worked best with an Aux socket, I have used the FM bit but it really depends where you are, going around the M25 forget it, nice rural location great.
Mine died on me, it lasted about 5 years and a scabby dodgy old Daf killed it, if they still made them I would have another in a flash.
