was ok to start with but have not been able to update for years so I would not recommend this product

This device was very good up until 2017 when it did not update correctly, For example it still tells me that there is a 50 mile limit 2 years after it was removed and although I update every month it has yet to tell me where any cameras are on the motorways. I have sent a number of e-mails to this company Microfuzion but they do not ever reply.

at first i thought this was the real deal but trying to update this unit is impossible waste of money i would not recommend this speed detector to anyone tried emailing company never ever had a reply absolutely useless

The camera detection system works very well, but although I can download the updating utility on Windows 7, it simply does not work, just shows as error. Trying to get help from the company is a waste of time, they simply ignore any communication attempt. Basically, they are conning the public with claims of free updates as they never succeed, at least not for me and apparently many others. Would be a really great product if marketed responsibly.

I have had problems with updates on my device. I could only contact them if I put in a new sales enquiry!! My device was registered. Asked to download the software update again, which I did. It has not updated the Cameras etc. It still picks up Average speed cameras that have gone over 4 months ago in a few places. The Device is great, simple and cost effective. But the Camera updates are critical

I bought my Microfuzion about 4 years ago and have found it to be pretty useful. The database of roadwork cameras is poor - out of date but all others seem to be OK. I drive through France and Spain on a regular basis and the database for these countries is very good and much needed!! For what it costs and with the 'free' updates I am quite happy with my decision to buy it. The big problem came when I updated from WinXP to Win7 and then found the Microfuzion tech support just wasn't there - useless. However, I found the software needed on the TRENDnet website and I include the link to their site - http://www.trendnet.com/downloads/list_subcategory.asp?SUBTYPE_ID=571# The new driver installed no problems and the downloads from Microfuzion are now working again. Not an ideal way to have to sort out the problem but 'hey ho'sometimes you just have to work around these things. If anyone knows how to change the time setting from GMT to CET (+1 hour) I would be pleased to hear from you!

I have the problem that the downloads do not update my Device. Reload
ed the Utility software, checked Device is registered, it still shows average speed cameras when they went 6 months ago in a few areas!
Written on: 23/06/2015
I believe the database is no longer being updated and hasn't been for some time- wherever it is. This means the data downloaded is no different to that already stored in the detector - waste of time.
I gave up using the Microfuzion because of the same problems you are experiencing which is a real shame but as they say - nothing stays the same!

I have had a Micro Fuzion Camera detector for about four years and it will NOT update with Windows 7 but will update on Windows XP computers.
I have tols them about this but it is impossible to get any help or feedback from their customer servicves
Having said that I thinki the product is very good and I have ordered the Mirror camera detector for Christmas.

I too have had this problem with windows 7, contacted microfuzion who replied very quickly with a useless link, however they provided a troubleshooter that by uniinstalling and plugging in the device ( after a few goes) opens up a prolific driver installer. how I got to it defeats me. however I unzipped it reloaded the software update tool, plugged in the device and hey presto. All Ok.

Many thanks to Hobo729. Worked 1st time after hours of frustration.

Had for 5 years and now have not been able to update for over a year. Tried contating company just a blank wall. So although a good unit, no use if it wont update. Go else where.

Just purchased this Microfuzion direct from there site. Cant get it to download anything. After reading these reviews it is most probably because i am on Windows 7. It only reads in Kilometers and I wrote to the company and received a broken english letter stating that I have to download to get it to read in MPH. Considering I cant download anything (as not compatable) it is completely useless to me. I am going to borrow another laptop that is using XP so watch this space. I am so frustrated I really want to send it back, but would I ever get my money back????? If you are on windows 7 DONT BUY....

I bought one of these, from a shop, about 5 years ago, really fantastic, so I bought 2 more. 1 came with wrong power lead, no response from company, 2nd shows wrong speed so continually tells me am over speed limit. Again no reply from company, buying direct is really cheap however, from last 2 purchases (about £200) the lack of response means I WOULD NOT recommend or buy from them again.

Rubbish. Doesn't work with Windows Vista or 7. Couldn't update it and it didn't detect a gatso so i got a ticket. Waste of space, wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I bought Microfuzion camera F1 in March 2010 and whilst using Windows XP could download updates. Problems started when I changed to Windows System 7; couldn't get a driver to download, tried contacting the company to no avail.
My advice is not buy this product whilst Microfuzion won't offer technical advice and drivers.
written by on 24/04/2010
When I first purchased this device, I was very pleased with it. The updates worked and were regular and I had a response to questions from the help line. This seems to have gone to pot in recent months, so that I am having the same experiences as others who complain over the lack of update (mine has been at 9051 for some time now) and the lack of response from the support centre. Perhaps it's time to move on.

Bought a Microfuzion speed camera and radar detector in June 09. Seems to work OK... BUT... I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 in Feb 10 and the existing USB driver won't work with Windows 7. I have searched the net for an updated driver with no success. Microfuzion don't respond to my emails for assistance. I've phoned their order 'hotline' and got voice mail, left a message and still no response.
I'm not sure if this outfit are still in business and if they're not, the free updates for life are not worth a light.
If I'd have known that Microfuzion Customer Support was such rubbish, I would not have wasted my £160. Don't you do the same.

Portable unit. Picks up all camera's. Had mine for 4 years, well pleased with the base unit. The unit does need regular updating and the web site instructions for the updating are sometimes hard to follow. But free updates for life, that takes some beating.

I had this microfuzion unit for 2 years and i had no speeding tickets it is a very portable product and easy to update the system very easy to use and a very good system i have two products from microfuzion i have the microfuzion gps and microfuzion wireless radar detector and i had them for 2 years and they are so briilant.

I have had one of these for a few years now,I thought it was good when I got it,now I hardly use it.The reason is it never alerts me to new cameras,it warns me of ones that were removed years ago,I do not believe they ever update the database.Communication with the company is an absolute waste of time.The couple of people who have given it good reviews must work for them.

I bought a micor fuzion total, and the add on radar detector. In my 35 mile journey to wirk, it went off 27 times. On one roundabout, the radar detector advised me of three different types of radar, and the mobile camera database warned me of a mobile camera at nearly every bridge. The locations of cameras are published on the web by the local safety camera operators, so it would be simple for Micro Fuzion to update and get it right. The database that I downloaded was out of date and pretty useless. I got a full refund.

Microfuzion has an excellent database and brilliant warning system

Just like to say a big thankyou for the link to the driver.
I downloaded & installed all as it says on the tin & hey presto I just uploaded the latest Microfuzion updates.
Been unable to get the device to be recognized since February this year.!
Any of you other users out there pay heed to the link to get yourself back up & running.
