    Owned for 2.5 years At times slow to locate satellites but my big gripe is that within weeks of the warranty expiring the B2 started to fail. First the back light, then the speech followed by warning bleeps. It is almost as if it had a programmed shut-down. With the subscription it has been an expen ...

    I have used all the leading camera detectors, this is just OK and not as good as the road angel and the micro pilot products, the quality of the hardware is very poor indeed, with the cradle failing very quickly (very weak pins).

    It was a waste of money - where is the customer service department?

    My Origin b2 speed camera detector has never picked up a mobile camera van, which was why I bought it! I was assured by the man in the shop on about 5 occasions that it would pick up mobile camera vans.

    If there was good back up regarding this Origin b2 electrical connection loss
    Maybe I would keep mine but they do not reply to emails and when they do they apologise cause there emails been down.

    I bought 6 Origin B2 Solo units for myself and a group of work colleagues about a year ago. We had to return every single unit in the first batch within a month because of cradle connectivity faults. Of the replacement units, 4 had to go back again!! We are all still dogged with intermittent connect ...

    I'm really happy with my Origin b2 despite some niggles.

    I'll get those out of the way first: the cradle connections are a bit dodgy. Cleaning helps for the power/laser/diffuser row of contacts, but the GPS antenna connector between the cradle and unit needs intermittent attention (the centre pi ...

    Superbly accurate and comprehensive database. I do not reccommend hard wiring as the unit (or part of) will have to be returned or replaced at some stage. This is a remarkable unit when it is new and working properly. Sadly after a few months I needed a new comms lead then sometime after a new cradl ...

    When this Origin b2 GPS Speed Camera Detector works it functions extremely well. What I find extremely annoying and the manufacturers will not acknowledge this as a problem is that the slightest bump can make it jump out of the cradle and hence it stops working. If you are unlucky, it then takes man ...

    I have used one these Origin B2 GPS Speed Camera Detectors for about a year. Its most infuriating fault is its frequent loss of electrical connection with the mounting stand (in all but the smoothest of cars), which one often doesn't notice unless constantly checking that the display is still actual ...

    I loved this Origin b2 GPS Speed Camera Detector, it was easy to install, it could be fitted either on the dash or in the centre console area. This unit performed far better than I had expected. Previously I had the classic road angel unit which was good but a bit on the large side. In the 5 months ...
