5.0 out of 5 stars
Didn't know there was Version 2. Massive Improvement,
By John Girvan (Islington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revo IN-CAR DAB Digital Radio Car Stereo (Electronics)
I originally paid just under £200 for the original Revo and was bitter disappointed. It had a fiddly, useless antenna which would only fit around the front of the car. This was a problem because my car had a solar reflective windscreen. There were intermittent problems with the modulator too. In the end, I just returned the unit for a refund.I had forgotten all about this until I discovered my friend had one installed in his new car and was just waiting for him to tell me how crap it was! But he didn't say anything and I was surprised how consistently clear it was when we made a 2 hour drive back to uni. I later found out that his Revo was a new version and also half the price (now £99.95) so I thought I'd give it another try. For those who don't know, the Revo connects to the AUX/Phono sockets on the back of your head unit and you select AUX on your stereo. If you haven't got these inputs, you can use the modulator. It doesn't take away your existing radio. You simply tune into an unused preset frequency on your FM radio for DAB output. I got the new version for just under £90 quid. It also came with the optional remote control. It had a new antenna which I could stick on the front or rear windscreen because there was 5m of cable. It wasn't obtrusive either but actually very neat and easier to fit than the old one. The modulator looked the same but has V2 printed on it which suggested that some changes had been made. This was clearly evident as there was no hissing which I had previously experienced. Finally, I had a DAB unit that not looked good but performed far better than any head units I had tried as well. In my opinion, DAB head units like the Goodmans and Sony I recently tried, are poor for DAB. The better performing ones like the Blaupunkt are about £300 quid but are not as good as the Revo for DAB performance. I'm not going to replace my existing Blaupunkt for a while. Other manufacturers are just cramming the units with allsorts resulting in really slow interfaces and reliability issues. I know that if I find a serious alternative to my car stereo, I can use the Revo at home through my amplifier because the leads from the cradle are phonos - I've already tried it!

Excellent Product. I use in-car, on motorcycle and at home - Superb!!!,
By Jas Singh "Jas" (Manchester, England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revo IN-CAR DAB Digital Radio Car Stereo (Electronics)
I am very happy with this product. I originally had problems with poor reception but realised that it was to do with the modulator which Revo had revised. Make sure you buy one with the Version 2 (V2) modulator.It may be designed for cars with optional kit to use at home. I went to a local electronics store, bought an DC-AC adapter and use at home via my amplifier as the Revo has RCA plugs. On the motorbike, I only needed headphones with volume control and a 2 Phono sockets / 1 3.5mm sockets adapter. Truly remarkable product - designed and developed in the UK. Shop around and you can find for as little as £80.00 with remote control and carrying case!!!

Excellent product. Solid DAB performance. Highly Recommended,

This review is from: Revo IN-CAR DAB Digital Radio Car Stereo (Electronics)
I did read up about this product on AV forums and found that there were some faulty Revos that gave poor reception or only local stations so make sure that you don't confuse poor performance with a unit that is actually faulty!I have an Audi A4 which has the standard factory fitted cd/radio. I listen to DAB radio at home, my favourites being 1Xtra, Kiss, Kerrang and Planet Rock. Now I can listen to these while I'm driving. First all, the Revo just looks amazing, the finish and design is quality. It came with everything I needed in the box and DIY install was very straightforward, even for a novice like me to do in 30 minutes. I was a bit dubious about the performance of the internal windscreen antenna but to my surprise it gave a perfect signal at 88-99% consistently whilst I travelled from Bedford to Manchester via M1 and M6. I would definitely recommend that you get the remote which I think is really useful as it controls all the functions so you need not touch the unit. I got the carry case too which is a neoprene type material so the unit is protected when removed from the cradle and there is a slot on the back for the remote. If I decide to change my car stereo system in the future, I know that I can hook up the Revo to my home stero amplifier or mini speaker system. A definite 5 stars from me :-)
