Origin b2 radar detector
got this email from origin
The eagerly anticipated Origin b2 radar detector accessory provides alerts for mobile K-Band radar traps used by a number of UK police forces. It also shows whether Gatso fixed installation cameras (which work by emitting a 'K' band radar signal) are live or switched off.
With the aim of reducing false alarms, Origin have provided users with a 'Smart Mode' allowing them to set a speed under which they will not receive the full alert.
The radar detector connects directly into the Origin b2 cable management system and is compatible with all Origin b2 and b2 Solo units, irrespective of purchase date. The radar detector will be affixed behind the front grill of your vehicle.
They will be ready to ship in late May 2005.
Please note: If you have an outstanding order for a radar detector or if you order within 6 weeks of the first arrival date in the UK you will be able to purchase the unit for just £99.95 inc. VAT (plus delivery). After 6 weeks of the first customer shipment date the price will rise to £149.95 inc. VAT (plus delivery).

Got that also today - if it's anything like the laser detector, which I know is plugged in correctly,m which has never gone off on the very few ocassions there has been a copper pointing a gun at me, then I'll not be forking out. And for the normal price of £150, a third of the price of the unit again, I think I'll pass on this one.
Pity they price things so expensive when there are now equally good and cheaper units on the market...

Seems a bit pricy that - agree with the comments about the Laser detector, found out mine gets triggered by the outside light - it's only taken a year to set it off and it's parked underneath the thing every day.

Not £50 - £100 and then £150. That's a lot of dosh for the odd few tunnels around and even then, go slow and you'll be OK. Not worth it in my opinion...
