Best Speed Camera Detector?

[sym]

Re: My previous comments in this thread about the Snooper S4 - I'm pleased to report that it has come back to life !

Seemed to take 20 mins to lock on, but has been fine since then - so hoping that it was just a temporary "blip" after it lost the signal for some reason.

Still a bit puzzled as to why it went to sleep in the first place, but hoping that it will behave itself, as I am otherwise very pleased with it, and would be sorry to see it go

I'm looking forward to being able to have a look at a few installations of these things at the gtg next month. General opinion is I should prob have something along these lines in my car - dunno why but I like the clean look - can't stand wires n stuff - so be good to see how tidy some of you have yours - or not

My install is as clean as it gets pammy

Hi,

I was looking to buy some form of radar detector device, possibly a Micro roadpilot with radar dector add on.

Has anybody had experience of using any if this type of equipment on the continent?

Does anybody know if the GPRS based systems have a roaming contract abroad. I seem to thin some of them di in Benilux

I am aware that radar detectors are.... ahem.... "illegal" in France, but if I forget to turn the power off can I help it

Cheers

James

A far as I know, the only one that works in BEnelux is the Morpheous Stuff, Geodessy , Road Pilot, Micro pilot.

Betst people to ask I reckon are networx automotive - they are really very helpful and stock just about everything on the market

I've just paid for a lifetime renewal on my Road Angel subscription. I asked if there is a new product coming out and she said all she could say was yes and it is being released at the Motor Show next week.

My subscription is not transferable, but does go with the device if I sell it on.

Glad I will be there to see it!

So what's the best now the new Road Angel or Origin B2?

Hi,

I use the new `Bell Euro 550`, this can be set to each countries police standard. I had a snooper last Year but it let me down in France a couple of times

The best unit is ....

The Origin B2 for a permanent installation
The RoadAngel for an easy to swap between behicles solution

 

[barflux]

I like the Origin B2, but I need to keep moving it between cars so I will have to go for the new road angel.

thanks everyone.

I am looking at either Road Angel or Origin B2?

Which one to go for?

Thanks

I was under the impression that the best way to detect a speeding camera was to drive a car too fast.

I like the Origin B2, but I need to keep moving it between cars so I will have to go for the new road angel.

thanks everyone.

how many cars do you move between?

I bought an extra car kit for the B2 . 3 cars , 2 B2's and 1 extra car kit

 

[mobilecentreuk]

If the budget will strech that is the best bet a 2nd car kit for the OB2

I have five cars. The number of cars is not my issue but the fact that I don't want to mess with the electrics for any of the cars, and just want it to plug in, mount and go. Therefore I do not want too many cables and less things to mount on screen. I think the Road Angel (new) fits the bill. There is quite a bit of wiring for the Origin B2.

Thanks

 

[mobilecentreuk]

The OB2 is modular, everything plugs in, this enables a neater install rather than being tied to the centre of the dash

 

[barflux]

What do you mean by neater install? As I was under the impression that you need the Origin B2 Display unit, GPS Sensor, and Laser Sensor all to be located somewhere and that was my problem I not keen on hiding the wires behind panels and using the car wires to source the power for the unit, where the Road Angel is just one unit which mounts to the screen, and to the cig adapter (I think). Correct me if I am wrong?

 

[mapleleaf]

The OB2 only comes with a cigar lighter power source anyway. I cut it off to hardwire my units . but you are right, there are more connectors to fiddle with on the OB2 so the new road angel will probably be your best bet after all

 

[barflux]

There are no new road angels available at the moment from Blackspot till next week. Are there any deals on the net?

They are selling them at the motorshow though. If anyone is going, can you let me know how much there going for. I doubt they will be cheaper, but thought I'd ask anyway.

What subscription to take? 1,2, or 3 years?

Cheers

 

[RichardM]

When you buy the box it comes with 6 months subscription, you don't have to think about what option to take until that runs out.

I got my new Road Angel on saturday and installed it in the car, and I'm not that impressed with it. They have sorted out the volume, the old one was too quiet to hear over my stereo but there's no much else going for it, I think I should have got the b2.

It is a neat unit though with everything built in.

My main complaint is the loud beeping when switching it on which you can't seem to turn down. Only had it a couple of days and I'm annoyed with it.

 

[GrahamC230K]

Having met Tim from MoileCentre today at the Motor Show who made me feel a bit of a VIP on both his and the Blackspot stand, if and when I upgrade the B2 has it in the bag.

The Road Angel is not dead yet though. Sometimes you forget how good you have got it!

Its not often that you get offered drinks by the guy who runs RoadAngel ! At least you did not have to queue up to get onto the stand ! And you also had the unbiased opinion of Steve Warren from ukspeedtraps.co.uk

I will be attending the kettering meet with most of the products that we sell and my laser gun.
