That's the kit that enables the laser jammers to plug directly into the Road Angel.

Could someone please send me the RoadAngel software? I left my copy at work (the one you get after you register online)

Either by ICQ: 854512, MSN: burratha@hotmail.com or if you could email me FTP details?

Many thanks in advance.

The hotmail account is a spam only account that has exclusive filtering set on the inbox. Nothing gets in there, tbh - I only use it for a messenger login.

Just a quick note - Top Tip

Place the unit on dash as close to the windscreen as poss. & in the middle for best reception.

This morning start up - 2 secs.

Number of Sats Locked on Lowest 6 - Highest 9


By moving the unit away from windscreen towards handbrake:

Number of Sats Locked on Lowest 0 - Highest 4

So positioning is really important.

Cheers all,

Chris

You need a Snooper SLD920 laser diffuser (I believe others may work also) and then give Jonathan a bell - I believe he has a contact that can supply the connecting kits.

Basically, when the laser diffusers register a "hit" the road angel stores the location as a mobile site.

Clever eh?

I have fitted an M10 Blinder Lazer Jammer, and had the opportunity to test it against the latest lazer speed guns recently. and it performed faultlessly, the operator was amazed, the units could only display an 'err' message. mine are fitted either side of the reg plate on my MY01, very discrete.

Apparently the Blinders and Snoopers are prone to water ingress...... so make sure they're well protected!

Hi

Just to let you all know that i`m trying to sort out a price with Road Angel on there laser/jammer.The one they supply is the Blinder model(same as snooper SLD920) and it plugs directly into the back of the Angel.(no adapter kit needed) I`ll try and get a price in the next few days.

Cheers
Jonathan
