Who owns a scanner in their Tiv? Does it work well?
What is the best one on the market at the best price?

I caught a glimpse of the one that was in the car that Tiffany Dell, ooops, I mean Tiff Needell was driving when he was doing that bit on dodgey speed camera spots. I have actaully yet to see one working, in the flesh.
Thanks in advance

Two different types - scanners and jammers. Jammers I believe will disrupt a laser and no fix will be made on the car. Scanner will detect radar, but not all systems i.e. the new digital ones appearing down south, or ones built into the road. Scanners will also detect laser, but are then relying on a second fix to confirm the speed giving you time to reduce speed. Scanners help reduce accidents by making you aware of accident blackspots, which as we all know should be the sole reason for such devices.

All the info you would ever need is here www.ukspeedtraps.co.uk/frames.htm

Bel euro 550 is one of the best detectors
Bel LE 850 DIffuse is one of the best jammers

and here is a GPS camera locator that tracks you and your speed and tells u when you are coming to a camera www.geodesygps.co.uk/

I have a snooper s5 in my Chimaera and M3 its movable had a cobra trapshooter which was crap before. But this actually does work about 6oo yrd advance warning on cameras both lights and sound tell you when you are getting closer. Very handy especially for the hidden speed cameras!!! Saved my ar@se on a number of occasions. If you want to know more just let me know.
