You can set an "overspeed" alert, it will also display the journey time and average speed. Don't think it records the max speed.

 

It's now the start of October for the cable as of tonight

never-ending story?

 

has this GB died?

 

NO it has not died!!
Just waiting for definate numbers,so who ever wants one please let me know.

Just for info, had the Road Angel "Classic", now have O-b2...far better. Has more tailoring features if you want them, but they don't get in the way. Not difficult to fit (as mentioned by several others). Database seems to be FAR more up to date the RA (quite honestly, RA's left me wondering sometimes, as it appeared I was the only one submitting new sites!), and the b2 has an automatic alert that reminds you to update the unit....simple connector that has its own power feed, that then goes into COM1 serial port....just remember, if you're upgrading from RA to b2, remove the RA s/w (it auto starts in Windows System Tray, thus blocking COM1 port for itself, therefore preventing Origin s/w from seeing attached b2 device...easy "gotcha")

Finally (my 0.02 worth), its far easier than connecting/disconnecting wires to the unit each time (primary reason for me swapping)....can't fault it.

HTH,

Spen

 

Spen,

That sounds like you can't have both sets of software on at the same time or is it possible to stop the RA auto-loading to the systray and only fire it up when needed from the desktop?

I was thinking of getting a b2 and giving my RA to my old man for his car so would need to keep updating both units...

How readable is the b2 display in sunlight and does it reflect onto the screen at night if you have it on the dash? Is it adjustable for viewing angle? I made a shade for my RA classic and the new version has one in the kit AFAIK so they've acknowledged the "problem"

TIA

Andy

PS unless the current g/b is going to last until the pda data cable comes out in October-ish or later, count me out for now

I don't fancy running the scoob with both units on the dash as a look-see to find out if it works - it's already like Blackpool illuminations with the gauges

 

1. Tuscan57
2. Rigpig
3. Hales ( price for additional cradle as well ? ..two cars.. )
4. Messiah

Took list from last I could see - if incorrect please amend.



ps - when is purchase date?

 

Andy,the unit is fully adjustable and you can set the contrast on display.
I can get the B2 for when ever you want it mate.

 

I'll keep 'phoning Origin every so often then to work out when etc

 

let me know where to send a cheque and I'll sort one ASAP.

 

In stock now £330.00 delivered to your door.
Who wants one??

 

thanks for email - will post cheque later today.

 

hi aps, cheque posted tuesday, can you confirm if you've got it yet?

cheers

 

im planning to get one in a months time would you still have any at that price?

 

I'd like one - is it still at £330???

 

I can get B2 at £330.00 anytime,so if you want one now or next month let me know.

 

I'll take 1 please, where do i send the cheque

 

Aps - are you a certified b2 retailer?

 

I get the B2's from my mate,who is a approved dealer.
You get all the usual benefits,6 months subs and warranty.

 

Good - I see that origin now limit the warranty to 28 days if the seller is not approved.

Can you pm me details of where to send cheque or if transaction can be done via card over phone\online.

 

Sorry guys. got to pull out of this one.

Ray

 

APS,

Thanks very much for the prompt delivery - it is now registered and updated and I am goijng to install it tonight.

APS - nice guy and very helpful - thanks for the advice APS and for anyone else thinking about the deal - go for it - a genuine guy, from a known dealer/Origin Approved Reseller etc.

Brian

 

Glad to be of service.

 

I'll second that - Cheers Aps

Had the B2 in for just over a week now, installation was easy, even for me - the hardest part was deciding where to run the cables.

Received the unit about a week after I posted the cheque - and Aps had included the dealer code required to register with Origin.

Really pleased with it - although there is the temptation to go looking for speed traps to test the thing! I've already found 2 DS2 camera's that I didn't know about...

A couple of minor probs but these are easily resolved I gather - the unit needs stronger magnets to hold it in the cradle better - i travel over a lot of v rough roads and although it doesn't jump out much it tends to reset if I knock it with my hand or try to use the menu's while driving. The only other thing is siting - I've placed mine next to the ashtray (MY00) and TBH this is a little too out of sight - I might try repositioning it on top of dash in the near future.



I think this little unit is a bargain - cheers Aps.

 

sorry never got back about this! i still havent sold the tuscan yet! if i manage to sell i will defo be interested in a new b2! how about extra car kits have you any?

steve

 

My supplier has got the second car cradles in stock.
He also has the LRC 100 laser jammers(garage door opener) in stock and will be doing these at good rates.

 

if you find out the price for the garage door openers i might go for that as well for the tuscan!

 

messiah thanks for your kind words mate.;]
I had the same probs with mine resetting and i altered the angle of unit so it sits more upright,you dont need to look at because it usually scares the s**t out of me when it goes off!!


Soon as i get prices i will post them up Steve.
