Does anyone know if these are any good-I had a search on our site but there's only one comment about them and it's quite old.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

yep i got one mate, got it back in xmas. im impressed with it. never missed one gatso,red light traffic camara to date and never given any false ones. but with mine it needs about 5-10 mins to load up when i first start up, because of the reflected windscreen on the clio.

Thanks very much for the Info.

There's a guide here and it's given it 97% so it can't be that bad!

my dad has got one of these, its ace.

hasnt missed anything, and also advises you of the speed limit when you are nearing a camera too.

essential piece of kit i say.

The customer service is good too!

Fifty quid on eBay? Can I be looking at the right bit of kit?

 

[KyleB]

that looks to be the "lite" version.

Not sure of the differences though.

Think my dad paid £150

I bought the Talex Lite tonight from Somerfields for £29.99 Works brilliantly and so far it's impressing me every bit as much as the Origin B2, Road Angel and Roadpilot systems. Actually it's impressing me more because it was a fraction of the cost.

 

[KyleB]

29.99!?!!

thats a bargain for a camera detector!

 

[sneeks]

Yeah I thought so too

I'm used to paying far more than that for them, I've owned nearly every make available and so far this is rating highly especially considering the cost of it.

im thinking about getting the lite version, its says about a subscription to get the latest updates about the camera locations etc but do you think you would be able to get the updates from other sources that dont cost money??

Not that 24.99 for a year is a lot but just wondering.

I wouldn't think so but it's not alot for the year, the one free resource online has not started charging for the service. £65 all in for the 1st year is a great price.
