How about a big bendy CB stlyle aerial attached to the boot with a magnet?
You can either pretend you're a minicab or in Smokey and the Bandit - your choice!

There is an alternative actually, which is used in Europe called Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM), however DAB is more widely adopted throughout the world now so I can't see it being phased out to be honest..

DAB on a different frequency!
I've always understood DAB to be a) poor quality, and b) poor coverage, but I have to admit I've never had it.

b) 85-90% coverage, with additional masts being installed all the time
I'm not sure Sirius and XM (Satellite in the USA) would take off in the UK, as our radio 'model' is very different to that over the water - we all expect our radio to be free in the first instance.. Just my own opinion, of course...

In favour of what?
Heard something about DAB+'s arrival meaning DAB sets will soon be obsolete, but didn't pay much attention as I never listen to the radio except for traffic news.

Aah right I see
According to http://www.worlddab.org DAB+ is just an additional codec that's broadcast across the existing DAB service
As far as DAB being obselete is concerned, I don't think that will happen anytime soon - all the PURE units can take updates from a PC/Mac so they could be upgraded to receive DAB+ if/when it gets implemented in the UK..., and I doubt they're the only units that can do this..
