Don't have a B2 but thought it worth mentioning that I got an Origin Blue i 6 months ago - it's excellent and has saved me several times. Also, the staff at Origin have been really good. My unit developed a minor fault and they replaced it very quickly and gave me an additional 6 months sub to the GPS db.
Highly recommended,

The best I have found is £423.99 inc postage and packing from www.originblueidirect.co.uk - only £6 less than rrp I know ... but still alot less than comparable alternatives.
What sort of deal have you found as I am fairly sure we could raise 10 people on this forum within a couple of days!

The price that i have been quoted is £350. They are due to recieve the stock from today onwards.
I will also ask what price they can do the extra cradles and radar alert and jammers for if anyone is interested in those.
We would need around 8 to 10 people to achive this price, if we have more i will push for a further price reduction.

Hiya guys,
I received my b2 unit on Friday, and i have to say that i am very impressed. The unit itself has many improvments over past gps detectors, and i like the warning system alot. One thing to bear in mind however is that the factory 'alert' settings are not early enough and you could still end up going through a trap over the limit if the detection distance is not increased. The cradle that holds the unit in the car is very nifty, and its use means a very neat and inconspicous installation. The alerts are loud and the screen is very visible at night due to its green backlight. The update process is also very comprehensive and professional.
One niggle i had at first was that the unit wouldn't sit in the cradle properly and would reset when travelling over bumps. This problem was diagnosed by the tech staff earlier today and all i had to do was change the polarity of the magnets around in the cradle so its now gripped in like a limpit
Other than that, the product is pure quality, although i really didn't appreciate the weeks of dealys due to manufacturing problems
I can recommend it to anyone, and this is from a user who has moved on from the Road Angel. The b2 is in a different league i'm afraid, and the best out there. My LRC100 laser diffuser (ahem, garage door opener!) arrives tomorrow, so i can't wait to hook that up to the system for complete peace of mind.
Regards,
Henry

supercoopers said:Looking forward to ordering one as well....but tell me why you're choosing the LRC100? I've just started looking at diffusers and obviously want a good one. Does it integrate properly with the B2?

Hiya guys,
I will attempt to answer your questions. The LRC100 is the 'daddy ( )' and is the best on the market as far as the pros tell me. visit www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk for a full review. It works faultlessly and is the most expensive on the market, so it should do!
Regarding the antenna, yes a magnetically shielded screen will mess with it, hence why origin provides such a long wire on the antenna so that it can be mounted on the rear parcel shelf.
The unit has a large and highly visible (even in sunlight) LCD screen which glows green at night. The cradle system enables the unit toe be removed in an instance for security reasons which is a feature i like alot.
I will try and take a pic before i go to Florida for two months on Thursday (
) and will show you how it looks installed. My garage opener should arrive today, although when i asked BMW if they would install it for me, they said that they would play no part in 'criminal activites' 
Sod them, they are legal to own so they can stick that in their pipe and smoke it
