Has anyone fitted a camera detector or sat nav into their S2 elise or Exige?

Just bought a Pogo Alert for use in my Exige S, but not sure where to fit it. I want it in the dash but not sure where or how.

Pictures would help of where people have hidden theres away neatly!

Thanks

I have a B2 with some modifications. The unit itself is on the right of the dash, below the windscreen with the satelite reciever placed just behind it. The laser detector is mounted behind the rear view mirror, the laser diffuser (garage door opener) in in the front grill along with the radar detector. Very neat very discrete.

The road angels are wireless i presume? What i want is all the cables hidden! Where have you hidden all the cables for your B2? Any photos?

No photos of the wiring - it is all hidden. Install was done by Braviria in Bomo.

Same here, my "parking sensor" unit is hidden inside the passenger footrest which I have lined the inside in black carpet so you can't see through the holes.

Had a B2 in my old Exige S and now have the Pogo alert in my new S 240 , I mounted the pogo in the same place I had my b2 in the ally tray on the left hand side of the AC heater thing .
it looks good and out the way plus unlike the B2 the pogo it gets a gps signal there without the hard wire antenna .

I had an Origin B2 in my S2 Exige.

B2 was mounted on the rear view mirror (cables tucked up around the inside edge of the windscreen). GPS reciever front centre of the dash. Power supply from an extension from the 12V socket, behind the pax seat, along the pax sill and under the speaker cover.

Very discreet install but might not work so well on an Elise with the roof off!

Ah thats good news, did you just get the infared extension cable? where did you mount this? did you make a little tray for it to sit in or anything?

Trouble is with a Pogo, you cant integrate a laser diffuser of radar detector.

My B2 solo sits on the RHS of the dash. Cabling for laser detector goes in the small cavity around the endge of the windscreen to behind the rear view mirror.

Power goes in behind the dash. Spliced into a ignition live but plugged in using a ciggy lighter adaptor behind the dash for easy un-install if I want later smile

No the pogo sits butted up to the front lip of the ally tray with the dash mount base , once mounted you can turn it to face you .
not got as far as the laser detector yet but I had my B2 one on the rear view mirror .

Posting this on an iphone coz me laptop is bust at the mo so I can't post pics , pm me and I will email you some .
