Rader Detectors
Discussion
Some good, some bad here:
www.pistonheads.com/reviews/reviews.asp?c=53&id=531
Plus two reps who visit us have had problems with them. Database innacuracies, update problems and generally a bit fiddly compared to what they're used to. One of them has gone back to to using his Navman 510 and R/A 2 and the other has reverted back to his Tom Tom that takes him down one way streets the wrong way...
I'd quite like one myself (Navigator) for my Corsa, but I'd like to see more balanced reviews on it before I commit. For the Monaro I have a Kenwood DDX8027/DV3200 Built in Sat Nav unit with an R/A 2.

Use the origin B2. Always worked very well. Advises of the road speed on approach to camera. Has laser/radar and fixed camera etc etc v easy to use. Also, has mounting plate so just lifts out of car or off base. maybe useful if legislation goes thrugh in June and they get made illegal.
Oh, and the screen colour matches the green dash lighting of Monaro!!!!!

Interested to see how this looks, can you post a pic?
Thanks
The R/A 2 is on the dash as usual with a hardwire installation and this is the Kenwood. The Sat DVD is mounted in the boot and the anntena is mounted under the rear parcel shelf. No problems with reception.
I'm thinking of mounting the R/A down in the ashtray area with an anntena
and I still have steering wheel button control via an infra red sensor mounted just in front of th roof lining interior light

Looking good... How much did it cost?
Um, alot. Cira £1900 (DVD/CD HU, TCM Unit, SAT DVD Unit, Steering wheel PAC). The fascia surround is a custom made job from the US, so add another £100 inc shipping on top (forgot that).
Alot of money I know, but the car does do some long distance hauls when I go on courses etc, plus it plays MP3 discs, DVD's etc and it has TCM for traffic updates for auto re-route. Also missed having RDS, EON. It is DAB ready, but Kenwood have discontinued the DAB module plus it needs an external DAB aerial and I don't want to spoil the roof line by adding one.
DVD player keeps kids quiet when waiting for mum to come out of Tesco so that's the big plus.
This set up is basic compared to what our american cousins are doing to their GTO's.
So next up, is to somehow fabricate a surround for the RA in the ashtray area..
