Good Points

Good at fixed camera warnings.


Bad Points

False laser alert at least every 30 minutes. Too many cables that are not easy to conceal on the dash - ideally unit needs to be hard wired in. Origin technical team not the most helpful people to deal with - at times guessing the solution and often giving conflicting advice.


General Comments

The Origin b2 GPS Speed Camera Detector is not a unit you would want unless you want to spend the cash to get it hard wired into your car! 3 cables and a docking station were not easy to hide on the dash. Fixed camera warnings worked well BUT laser gave a FALSE WARNING nearly every half an hour - after numerous calls to Orgin, the problem was still UNRESOLVED so sent the unit back and got myself a Road Angel 2 - which worked a treat, gave no false warnings, did not require hard wiring, had only one lead and was a genuine "plug & play" unit. Also, Orgin technical team were NOT the most helpful bunch - much of the time giving conflicting advice!

    The reviewer must have got a dud one. My B2 has NEVER given a false laser warning.

    i 100% agree with this review. My B2 gives so many false laser alerts and worst of all the Origin team are not very reliable, they tell so many lies. Unfortunately i have bought the B2 and stuck with it. i do strongly recommend Road Angel 2.
