LASER ALERT SYSTEM - mobile camera alert

A powerful front and rear Laser detection device, LASER ALERT SYSTEM detects mobile Laser traps and gives an audible and visual alert through the ROAD ANGEL display.

 

RescueLoc - additional safety feature built-in

If you break down and don't know exactly where you are, you can find your precise latitude and longitude co-ordinates at the press of a button on your ROAD ANGEL display. This can then be passed on to your rescue service.

 

ROAD ANGEL - comprehensive database

Capable of storing up to 50,000 unique sites, your ROAD ANGEL is pre-programmed with all the latest data. Updated and verified continuously by Blackspot Interactive, the central database can also be easily personalised to include information specific to you.

 

ROAD ANGEL - no false alerts

Unlike many radar products, which are constantly triggered by false alarms, ROAD ANGEL only responds to designated hazards.

 

ROAD ANGEL - simple and effective

Easy to install, designed to provide all the information at a glance, portable and robust, your unit will rapidly become a valued companion on every journey.

 

Comes in as new condition with all cables for powering and updating the system, will require a subscription from Road Angle to update the unit, this is purchased via their web site or customer help line (details included)

I might be interested - just a couple of questions....

 

1. Do they charge a fee to transfer the unit to a new owner like Origin do?

 

2. How much is the subscription? £49 a year?

 

3. Why are you selling it?

 

4. Was it purchased from an authorised reseller and do you have the receipt?

 

 

Sorry for the odd questions but I got bitten on my Origin b2 so I want to be safe :)

Hi , could be worth mentioning what level of subscribtion comes with it if any?

 

He posted...

 

will require a subscription

 

So I'm guessing the free 6 month subscription has run out and he's decided not to continue with it?

 

I only want one because it has a blue screen, my b2 doesn't match my dash :(

Thats why I was aksing mate just to confirm if the 6mth free had expired as I wasn't sure if it meant additional subscribtion.... :blush:

dont want to cause a problem here but i think the laser detectors will be illegal come jan 1st. Wanted to make sure everyone knew. Not 100% sure but a pretty sure. Might be worth researching

 

It can be unplugged if that time comes, the rest of the functionality will remain.

re. transfer....i understand it`s a matter of informing blackspot.co.uk of the new owners details, email, serial no., etc, no charge,

i bought an Acer Pocket pc/gps and i`ve just installed TomTom 5 so the Road Angel hasn`t been used for a while....

tbh i found that subscribing doesn`t put an awful lot new into the existing database,

if it`s for the Supe then it`s mainly for keeping an eye out for Laser guns etc and of course `true` MPH

Do you want to sell it Michael ?

 

The b2?

 

It's actually with Origin at the moment getting a 'service' because it's been acting oddly of late - if it comes back with a clean bill of health I'll let you know, otherwise it'll be getting kicked around the house.

You should up the budget a little, treat yourself, it's Christmas :)

 

I was in the car at the weekend cleaning a few bits out and just decided I want to reduce clutter on the dash, so the AVCR and SAFC II have moved into a hiding place and the Road Angel is up for sale. It's less blue lights but it looks tidy now :)

 

The Road Angel is cracking though, picked up a lot more blackspots than the Origin b2 and got a GPS lock quicker too - the fact is I use the Supra for the same journey each day and know where to slow down, the car I use for longer runs has it's own setup in it so I can sell this and free up some money.

 

It was an impulse buy because it was cheap, I need to get some restraint :)

 

If you do fancy spending a little bit more give me a nod, I'm sure we can come up with a nice price :)
