I have read some of the recent posts about GPS Camera Alert systems (or Driver Safety Aids, as Halfords website calls them, with some justification).
In terms of functionality the Origin B2 seems to be near the top of the pile, but I am concerned about early posts which talk about incessant rattling of the buttons.

In the Griff 500 with the top off, this is less of a problem (as I will likely not hear the rattle - and if I do then I'll just have to get a sports exhaust!)
However, my daily drive is a Lexus, and having at last got a totally rattle free car, I do not want to spoil it with a rattling Origin B2.

Has anyone whos has bought one of these more recently tell me if this rattling problem has been engineered out, or if it is still as bad?

Any advice (inc any other downers about the B2) would be gratefully received.

I can't point you to where I saw it but I seem to recall reading that the Origin can bounce in it's cradle, (is this what you mean?) and the cure was to reverse the magnet holding it in place. I don't have an Origin so this may be utter nonsense
