That makes two of us

BUT

Dont know about yours but mine dont work very well due to the heated screen, so if u have a heated creen in your car beware (when i say not vey well it useless)

To make it work u have to site it right to the left or right of the dashboard making at least the rearward protection from laser useless due to obstructions.

If u gonna go ahead see what deals they gonna make u on the extension antanae as well so unit can be mounted in center of car so laser signals can pass through center of car to it but antenae can be placed somewhere it will work, (found unit does work at far right of screen)

Blackspot are sending me an antenea free of charge so not knocking em or there kit (but how many would they send with bulk buys ???), cause had the latest snooper a couple days b4 this and it done exactly the same thing but whilst having that done some reading up and thought the angel was the better unit and took it back and exchanged it for the angel b4 realiseing why it didnt work.

Also there is a slight diff on the speed readings of the two units about 3-4 mph not really knocking them for this but must mean one reading from the sats different (faster / slower ) so what is the most accurate unit.

I plumbed for the angel in the end cause u can plug it into a laptop and use it as a ssat nav system as well (those that know me will know i need all the help with directions as poss )

Recons so and another thing cause i spoke to em about other probs and issues with locating the unit, they said drive up to em (near silverstone) and they would check it against there police laser they have to check for good posistioning, they might be able to do the same with the radar cause they have developed the units then they must have the gear to check it against .

Jim your point answered above

stsgve, but you need a seperate unit for it yeah?

i'd rather have one that does it all... ie satnav (basic one, not a big old colour TFT screen on DVD etc) and detects cameras...

APPARENTLY the guy recons u can plug these units into pda's also (u may need to get a bender to convert from serial plug on their lead to whatever goes into the pda, but he recons all sat nav stuff works off serial ports)

jim- ian had a neo s6 for 2weeks, and then took it back- didn't like it at all
if you'd have said i may have been able to sort you out a road angle really cheap through work, but they've stopped the deal now- 350 is a well good price though!!!

and you can defo connect the RA to a laptop for satnav- thats what i wana do when i get a laptop!- that, and measuring the engine managment on the go!

i thought with the road angel 2 they changed the subscription to 99 quid for 3 years, and phased out the 99quid lifetime one on the RA classic? - could well be wrong though!

Do you mean Bollox because you aren't being flooded with orders for a piece of equipment that isnt as good as its direct competitors?

Or Bollox because people want to know more about it before committing several hundred quid?

Theres no real off topic Bollox on here at all that I can read.
