Yep, good piece of kit, get it off eBay, as you'll get at least £50 off retail for a new, or nearly new one. Only go for/try to get an unopened box and you MUST get a serial number to check its legit. There are quite a few scammers on eBay selling these. Use common sense and you'll be fine.

I got mine for £320 6months ago.

Bought mine for £360 at Halfords, not bad bit of kit.

Sold it for £300 3 months later on ebay, not much use for it when driving around the local area. Already know where the fixed speed cameras are, schools, blackspots and what is the point of a laser detector, if your road angel picks up a laser pointed at your car you already know it is to late.

It can warn you about things from a distance from 250 meters to 1 mile, do you know how many bloody schools are within a mile radius, sodding thing didn't shut up until I found out how to alter the settings.

Well worth the money imho. And better than the classic road angel (as they now call it). Get the Road Angel 2 though as it is better.

Is it faulty ?

It's not very old.

Thats nice, but the subs aint transferable!
Believe it or not, they rip you off so the new buyer has to pay again.

Many Thanks,
Bought mine from a VW dealership on ebay for £322, he prefers to deal directly so he wont have to pay Ebay commission, some setting up so it doesn't report on everything but I think it's great.....all it needs is a nice female voice instead of that blokes.
