angel

I've had a road angel for 18 months. It has always given faultless performance until I changed my car a month ago. Now it is taking a long long time to pick up satellites - so i can drive for 30/40/50 minutes before I get any response from the unit (up until then it just shows 3 dashes --- in...

Think of getting one soon but note on the Blackspot website its says that some vehicles with UV shielding glass (Mercedes get mentioned) may limit the ability of the unit to fix onto satellites, presumably because the metallic content or coating shields what is already fairly low level signal to...

On the day of the Press Preview at the Motor Show, the Blackspot website has been updated with the new Road Angel. http://www.blackspot.com/

Dont know if thsi has already been posted anywhere yet but it seems that Road Angel are launching a new unit very soon.

In fact it would apply to all speed/gps/camera/rader/laser detectors ..... Might be worth keeping tabs on this discussion ... All stems from this: http://www.pistonheads.com/reviews/reviews.asp?c=1&id=191&r=863 Discussion thread...

Some of those that attended the recent Skid Pan GTG will know that I had a problem with my Road Angel that day. Basically for the entire 200 mile (approx), 3 hour round trip my RA failed to get a satellite lock-on and just sat there displaying "- - - mph" at me... Not Good. On the following...

How much can I get a road angel for and how effective are they, are they as good as the sales talk, also how often do you have to up date them by conecting to the computer?

I've started having problems updating my Road Angel. :mad: I realise the product does not officially support USB 2.0 but heard that it would do minor updates via this interface. The initial update was done via a PC with a serial port and I have done follow-up updates with my laptop via...

When you leave your car unattended do you remove your Road Angel from public view on the dashboard, or do you just leave it in place? Whenever I go anywhere and the car is parked, I always disconnect the RA and lock it in the glove box compartment (yes it actually fits!! :p ). I was just...

Are there any nasties that RA doesn't detect?

Been using Road Angel for a few days now (600 miles). This unit is excellent so far, pre-warning me of gatsos and blackspots, I have not yet come across any mobile or average speed cameras (to my knowledge!!!) I have used it mostly on routes I travel regularly so almost all cameras I knew...

I received my Road Angel today. If you were like me and just contemplating getting one I would strongly advise you to wait no longer. THEY ARE AWESOME. Well worth the outlay. Big thanks to Jimmy. Packaging was superb, you wouldnt like to give some of my customers advice would you?

I Decided to hard wire my road angel this weekend as I was fed up of the lead going across the dash and having to have the ash tray open. From the drivers seat I can read it perfectly to see the type of camera etc and its easy to remove for security in car parks etc. Took me...

I am thinking that I need a 'road safety camera' warning device in order to preserve my life and my license. I have been looking at the pro's and cons of both the Origin Blue i and the Road Angel. Both have their good and bad points. I am leaning towards the Origin has it can be discreetly...
