The Pure Highway 400 offers an easy solution, as it is one of the few adaptors that come with an earthing lead which slides under the roof liner – most require you to pull out some interior trim. The 12V set-up takes just a few minutes to install and occupies minimal space. The interface is easy to use and the sound quality excellent.
