There is a passive system that if it picks up the beam from a certain type of garage opener it will bounce the right beam back to open the garage and heard they work quite well as long as you actually have said garage opening system I would go that route rather than downlodaing daily updates for locations where cameras used to be as the mobile units are becoming more popular by comparison now... |

i currently use an app on the iphone, called snooper lynx, cheap monthly, but there was a deal not to long ago where you got a year's subscription free.

The systems based on GPS location - which covers the GATSO type cameras works well as the location is stored as a POI on most systems. TomTom etc. Unless the law has changed and I for some reason have missed out on this wonderful new legislation the other type which actually detects the radar sent from the mobile camera or speed device - Snooper, Road Angel etc, are illegal in this country. You can buy one and fit it, just don't get stopped by the old bill with one turned on in your car or they can quite happily seize it. It comes under the heading ' Doing an act intending or leading to perverting the course of justice'. 2006 MY Autobiography. With 'toys'

Does that mean it needs to be turned off when they pull you over as there is no way to actively test for the mini doplar type ones is there? |

It's just a visual check. The cameras won't detect that you have one but the display on a laser speed detection device goes bananas so it's obvious one is on in the car. You are not supposed to use them as the operate on frequencies reserved for broadcasting and other agencies 2006 MY Autobiography. With 'toys'

I had the Origin B2 and the laser jammer on my TVR Tuscan and it was great. I can't remember if the jammer was illegal then (2003) but it definately is now. B2 was good though.. Regards

I have my Origin B2 in its box since I took it out of my BMW 535d a few years ago now, but didn't have the garage door opener.
