thanks for the deal!

Just got home and took it out for a drive! Works a treat!

Just need to try and hard wire it in and have it in the best place! Not much room inside the Exige, any ideas?

You could call pogo and ask for another power lead/ permanent car supply and wire it in directly. Will probably cost around 10 quid for the lead.

Have been offered a second hand Pogo Alert which is approx 1 year old. Any difference to the 2008 model ?

Not sure. Easiest solution would be to give them a call and ask they will be more than happy to advise.

The only changes they made was on the screen to accommodate people who have polarized glasses, other than that its just the same...the added extra with the pogo range is that its all software driven, so if they decide they want to change the features or interface that is done when you do an update for the camera locations.....

Thanks for the info but now sold so looking for a new one anyway. Another question. I'm told that the laser detector is not much use as the cops tend to point it at a flat surface e.g number plate and not the curved windscreen where the detector would be located. If this is the case I might as well go for a cheaper speed camera data base type.

[jimmyb]

not true.laser detectors work to varying degrees and it doesnt really matter where its poinred it should still pick it up, my origin b2 certainly did. The catch with laser d is when it goes off they have got you, you dont really have time to do anything. The pogo range is expensive however the kit has a 2yr warranty and is very accurate and well set up. It also doesnt givel loads of false alerts like a lot of cheaper ones do.

I upgraded direct with Origin from a B2 earlier this year and they have obviously given me an old one - I can't read the display when wearing my polarized glasses - is the screen changeable?
