Sometimes it won't even pick any up at all. It may be to do with my positioning of it but it was a lot more reliable in my Mk 4. When it works though it's a great piece of kit.

Road Angel Professional Connected FTW :happy2:
I have had one for 9 months and it's an awesome bit of kit for the money.

i have had one of these for about 12 months too. i got it when i picked the golf up. fantastic bit of kit. it also live updates as you drive so there is no need to plug it into your computer :)

....It does sound as if Road Angel have finally got their act together with this latest offering and I do like the feature that you can update live.
Can it be hardwired in the car?
How big are the digital speedo numerals compared with the Pogo (whose compact unit size is so good)?
Trouble is that I can't justify spending on a replacement if my Pogo ain't bust. Other car budget priorities.
:happy2:

1) Laser and Radar jammers are illegal in this country, so don't go there kids.
2) Laser detectors are legal to own but somewhat illegal to operate (which is why the new Road Angels don't come with them).
I've got a Pogo Alert like Robin does. It's a nice compact unit with a mahoosive display that displays speed. It has a detachable laser detector to make it comply with the law.
I hard wired mine in next to the A-pillar on the driver's side so I can look at it without having to avert my gaze too far from the road. It's quite a neat unit.

i beleive it can be hardwired into the car. although mine isnt. the digital speedo is a fair size. slightly bigger than yours i would say. i can always upload some photos tonight if you want to take a look?
SteveP:
I do have mine hardwired into the car so it switches on and off with the ignition.
It lives in the centre of the dash with the cable running directly behind it.
This is the only pic I had handy: -
