Alpine Electronics has launched a digital radio adapter called the EZi-DAB, a professionally installed digital radio adapter for almost any car.

It connects to any existing car stereo providing outstanding digital radio reception as well as the ability to connect and control iPod, iPhone, iPad and many compatible USB devices.

Keith Holness, Alpine’s senior business manager, said: “The new EZi-DAB digital radio adapter allows almost everyone to add digital radio to their existing car audio system and provides a neat and classy solution to accessing more radio stations and much more listening choice.

“We are proud to have collaborated with Pure on this project, as their reputation as leaders in digital radio is legendary.”

Paul Smith, Pure’s general manager, said: “We are delighted to be powering the new EZi-DAB and bringing our considerable digital radio experience to Alpine’s leading car audio heritage.

“This is an important step forward for the sales of in-car digital radio adapters and will be a significant catalyst in helping digital radio switchover.”

In addition to digital radio, the EZI-DAB also offers the option to connect your iPod, iPhone or iPad and the EZi-DAB gives the ability to search and play the music via the car speakers.

The Alpine EZi-DAB is priced at £249.99, which also includes a discreet window antenna. It is available through authorised Alpine dealers.
