Purchased one of these the other day..

Registered it, and done the download..

Put it in my car and its not picking out anything

Must be a wrong setting I guess.. but i left in on fo about 20 mins.. then another time for another 15mins..

Will take a while to pick up the satelites the first time.Are the bars looking for them if so and it taking ages find a spot away from ind areas etc where it will pick them up easier.

Leave it in stationary car in open area with clear view of sky. Not under a heated screen either.

heated screen dont affect it in anyway !!!!

its the heat reflective screens,,,, when people say that reminds me of the time my dad bought a brand new nicam tv when they first came out and all scart leads ect

he noticed all the good quality digital sound ect,,,,,,,,,,,,, channels went broadcast in nicam for another 3 years after

heat reflective screens block out the gps signal not the wires in the screen

mate its just sometimes there could be bad luck, i sent mine back and wasnt a problem


my road angel2 had a serious problem and so i asked for my money back as was refused as they will only refund if they cant repair or replace it

so i refunded it anyway

Have you downloaded the update for it ? I bought a Road Angel 2 last week, downloaded the update for it, and very impressed with it, coming down the A14 yesterday from the pod and it picked up every single camera with plenty of warning
