was thinking of fitting a s.e.c.s unit to my my03wrx but upon thinking a little more and already with 6 points on my license some kind of radar/laser detector has got to be better value for money at present. my question is what can i get for my money and what seems to be the most popular choice? my budget is around £300.

cheers

Snooper S1 priced 94.95 @ Argos !
Good value for money or what?

Gangsta Smurf

Snooper S6R Neo GPS ... £429.00 but I know they sell on here for around £300 (I just bought one)

The absolute nads of a detector - Locates Fixed sites (I.e. SPECS, Truevello, Gatso, Digital) as well as mobile sites. It's GPS too so tells you what road you're on, your speed, and the speed limit of the road.

The next nearest detector which does all of the above is the RoadPilot thing - but for the full Fixed and mobile laser detection you'll be paying over £750 new.

where can i get the snooper that you recommended?

Origin B2 is supposedly the best out there. I have one an think it's excellent!

Best radar detector = S5R, pay no more than 270

Best GPS + radar + laser = S6R, pay no more than 430

Gangsta - How you getting on with your Snooper? I was looking to get one of these models myself but then heard some conflicting reports about them being too sensitive and people getting so annoyed with the false alarms that they don't even use it any more.

Edited to spell your name right Sorry mate!

snooper s1- so bad that some off the main radar detector shops have stopped selling this particular model due to so many complaints regarding its performance !! see some off the reviews off it on-line,have the snooper s5-r model myself and as the various reviews have shown it is actually rather good !! but does cost a lot more than this s1 model !! another performer is the the bell 550 as others have mentioned,as television test proved last week - " driven " !! beware off models not intended for uk use, very bad performance and constant false alarms !!! to the extent that you will end up turning the thing off !!
suggest you do a search off the various on line detector reviews, some off the so called good ones could not even detect the gatso cameras until around a metre away !! and some just did not detect them at all !! also some very poor laser detection on a lot off them as well, moral off the story - do a lot off research on the subject before splashing out !!

I'm thinking about the getting the Origin b2 but have heard that some of the extra modules (Radar?) to detect the traps (to be used in addition to the standard GPS) are not out yet. Any more info appreciated....

Thanks

Had the BEL550 for a year now & am well pleased with it. Hate going out without it , even when it does beep for petrol station forecourts & stuff , very rarely does it get annoying enough to turn off.You even get used to the American accent it speaks to you in. Warning K Band.
