what Jim means is you dont HAVE to update it before u can use it unlike Snooper neo, BUT if u want ALL the LATEST sites then tis a good idea to update.

Used mine before registering it im sure, but now u say that cant remember if it was the snooper i had and took back for the Angel I used b4 registering. Was sure it was the Angel, cause the Snooper registered quicker, but the angel took ages, so thought fook it lets see, and it found all my local cameras, which interestingly it DIDNT after updating , rung up technical and they sent me over a file to reset it back to original and hey presto it finds all again, but aint updated it since , If you sell these things any idea why they take so long to find the sats, know why in the Cos so got an extension aerial but in my other car works without that, say u driving alng a road go through a tunnel pop out the other side and takes ages to find sats again, BUT if u say just driving along motorway do the tunnel thing, still aint found nowt in ten mins plus pull the plug on it and replug it in finds em straight away, same bit of road same bit of sky lol , just wondered if there was any known issues with it for that

Ye need it in the corner in mine, the heated screen fooks it, I can with "strategic" placing get away with it in the center but then it sits too low behind wipers for the laser detector to see fook all and like i say still needs some fooking around to get right , but black spot GAVE me an aerial anyway so top marks to em for that , they also invited me up (would go for anyone who wanted to lol) to test the posistioning with there laser gun to make sure it was mounted in the best posistion again to black spot.

Tell me, how u get on with the magnet mount thing first time i accelerated the Angel ended on me back seat pmsl had to take it apart and drill a fixing thru to the screen mount lol.

Steve

PS if u could let me know what black spot say about the other issues would be pleased cheers bud
