Origin B2

[ChrisFez]

Just bought a B2, anyone got any tips on the install please and anyone know which jammers plug into this directly?. Cheers in advance.

My install...took about 1 hr to do...

Main unit

Power suppply

GPS antenna

Laser detector

No idea what else you can get that plugs into it though...

 

[ChrisFez]

Cheers, do you rate it well?. I have just picked up a few more points so decided it was about time I invetsed in some technology... Couldnt decide whether to get sat nav and camera all in one or seperates.

Mne is installed pretty much the same as Mark has his. I've got my receiver on the back window ledge behind the driver though, and the laser detector at the bottom of the screen.

I'm so used to having one I reckon I'd go through every camera too quickly these days. I really do reckon they make you far more aware of your speed because of where it's positioned.

I broke my update lead the other day so ordered the new USB one. Much neater but still not of the best quality and still just as slow.

That's what happened to mine. I've still got it at home so I'll send it off. Maybe they'll reduce my subscription renewal cost. That's due next month.

This is making me happier about my decision, cheers. Has the laser detector ever 'saved your a**' ?

It's only ever gone off once, and I still got pulled.

I was on a road I know is policed very often so as usual I was taking it very slowly. In all honesty I reckon I may have coasted just over 30 to around 33. As I rounded the corner the alarm went off and I dabbed the brakes. I got pulled, got patronised by a tosser of a police man who after 5 minutes of wasting my time told me they hadn't got a clear reading even though he had already lied and told me I was doing 44mph which was 100% bullshit. So in that instance it probably didn't save me, but did work.

Cheers for the replies, right its finally arrived, install tonight, one more quick question. How do i hard wire this into a switched live?. I was going to cable it onto the cig lighter with scotch block thingies so I dont have the plug poking from the cig lighter but there isn't a lead with it to do this?. Cheers

 

[MarkCup]

No idea mate, way beyond my technical abilities.

Same here. I bought one of these to allow me to charge my phone/BT headet and run the B2. http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/Powering.html Second one down.

 

[ChrisFez]

Cool, one of those will do instead, thanks the help, saved me loads of time on the install.
