I recently added SC's to my Golf GTI TCR and noticed on the website that they covered Mercedes Benz Comand NTG units as well, 4.5, 4.7,5.0,5.1(mine)5.4 & 5.5

So, I ordered the SD card for my DB11 and installed it yesterday. It was easy to install (instructions supplied) but the only drawback at present is that the camera icons are currently hearts, but I don't really mind if it preserves my licence/my wallet!

It can be set to just visual and/or an audible warning.

The site is working to change the icons for the future, but this should work for the new DBS & new Vantage as well, as I'm pretty sure they're more or less the same units?

Here's the site link. They are aware I was going to post this.

NB I have no attachment to the site, or has there been any financial inducement to post. Just thought it might be useful.

How does the system tell you, that a mobile speed camera has just been set up 10 minutes ago ?
If the system is that clever, perhaps they ought to charge more than only £9.99.

(A businessman once discovered, that he was selling far more products after raising the price. At the original lower price, potential customers must have thought that it was no good.)

Waze does Jon, by user notifications when they are just seen - that's one of the reasons why people like it, and thus Apple Carplay or Andriod Auto so much....

Personally I don't go on routes with mobile speed vans all that often, so prefer to stick with the AMi III built in Nav, which is otherwise excellent.

Obviously it can't, but does for known locations that mobile units use/have used.

The alerts for my golf were £12.99, and works very well. Perhaps, it's a loss leader to test the market, but the MB alerts are same price-£9.99, inc SD card.

As I say, I'm not his salesman, just thought it useful.
