Does anyone know if these GPS type speed detectors will work in the RRS?
Just wondering cos of the heated screen. Or is there a clear area for the signal to get through? TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

The bottom corners of the screen are clear Josh. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

If anyone is interested, AutoExpress this week has a speed camera locator product review. You can see the results at http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/product_test/...ators.html

Interestingly, the Road Angel products came out poor. Matt

RRS ownership for 1 yr, then D3 for 2 yrs. Then cut back to old bangers and working my way back up through two Peugeots in 6 months. Now got Saab 9-5 2.3t and enjoying the performance!

When I took delivery of my RRS I was told informed that if was not possible to locate a GPS antenna on the dash because of the reflected windscreen. Absolute nonsense, my Origin B2 works perfectly and receives all satellite signals at maximum strength with the aerial placed at the bottom of the A pillar on the drivers side.

Thanks guys.
I saw the Autoexpress article. I think Road Angel got rated low because very soon the latest traffic law bill is going to ban radar detectors. Not that they are much good anyway other than to prewarn you you've just been zapped and to check the door mat for a letter .
But I like the idea of the Talex type which tells you the sites whether there's a camera/laser or not. Plus they're getting cheaper. TDV6 - gone

I'm sure there is a way to add cameras to the dvd. You would need a dvd burner. There is a way to decode the current DVD and figure out how POI's are saved and icons are selected. You could add to the list and re-burn the DVD and use it. It's been done on other car models. I just takes someone tech savy to figure it out and post instructions for everyone else.

I've got a Sat Nav DVD if anyone wants to give me some pointers on how to reverse-engineer the data It's going to be one of my little summer projects  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

Martin - if you could do that I will worship the ground you walk on! Why don't LR produce a disc with the speed cameras on - it's not illegal! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Is the DVD disc data encrypted? Chips with everything

Lol. I am not that man at all. There must be some software engineers/ computer programers on here. Martin, it may be worth it to call the company who supplies the DVD's to LR and ask them how to add POI's

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful..... I like the way this thread is heading

Martin, make it a sticky on each & every topic - PM everyone - post it on all sister sites - tell the Pope........ the Queen.....

WE NEED TO GET THIS DONE

Sat - nav with added camera locations/speed limits & voice prompts if poss = WONDERFUL ............ please oh please let there be a God  
" WITH MORE EXTRAS THAN A HOLLYWOOD EPIC "

Er, not to be pi**ing on anyone's fire here but reverse engineering any copyrighted software is going to be illegal. This will probably include the DVD-based data as well. You'd need to know the format of the data on the DVD, get the camera location data, format and insert that data so that it didn't break the integrity of the existing data then change the SatNav software so that it could read and work with the speed camera data.

I'm willing to be proved wrong but it's not going to happen outside of LR
