I have one and it's sorted. No false alarms as the main unit works on GPS. Downloading upgrades is straight forward and the laser alert add on works fine. Highly recommended 5*

Ditto! 100% satisfied with the thing. Hasn't missed a camera so far. Particularly like how easily you can swap it between cars.

The Laser Alert module makes for a bit of a messy install unless you want to hide all the wiring away behind trim, and hence make it less portable.

There has been some debate on other threads as to usefulness of the laser alert i.e. by the time it warns you is it already too late?

The RA on its own does pretty much what I'm after and as I swap between cars a lot I'm beginning to find I don't always bother plugging in the laser module. However it is so cheap you might as well get it and see how you go.

Go directly to Blackspot. That way you will get the latest incarnation and not have to pay carriage on it.

Seems to be 399 for basic then 40 quid for the laser bit direct from blackspot - most other places are around the 399 mark for it including the laser detector

Nice one ted but your suggested company only sells the standard unit online, going to phone them though and find out what the do it for with the Radar add-on

There is a company giving pistonheads a massive (20%) discount. I can't tell you who they are, but there's a link to them somewhere on pistonheads...

I was interested in the pistonheads group buy a couple of months ago.Nothg happened so i called round to secure a deal better than I expected,got a few guys on here to buy afterwarsds e-mail me off line for the contact number.to see if the deal is still on.

I just use the RA itself too many wires with the other lazer thing makes it all a bit cluttered on the dash.
