Which one

Thanks Dennis for your very comprehensive response, (also to Privateer likewise.) Hopefully I'll be able to have a go at CamerAlert at the weekend. Interesting that you should have the TT GO 6200. I have received 4 emails over the last week from TT offering the 6200 at a 30% off price of £237.99 as a like for like replacement for my 750LIVE. A very quick look at others offers reveals Amazon and Halfords as £255.93 and BOX at £249.99. So that seems quite a keen reduction. I want to keep running the 750 as long as I can but it might exasperate me before it finally quits!

As regards ciggy multi-adaptors there is a topical article in Auto Express this week (a quick read in WH Smiths today). I must have a detailed read when I can.

Thanks again everyone.

PS Yet another new police hand held radar location seen this PM driving into Wilmslow. No hat worn by officer nor viz jacket - reported to PGPSW!

Just a thought - the 6200 has been around for ages now (in TT terms that is), so I would suspect they are trying to offload the last of their stocks before the next new improved all singing all dancing models come along. With several registrations for TT devices, I too have had regular offers of the 6200. In your position, I'd hang onto the 750 until it dies, then consider what to get - whatever you decide on, you won't have difficulty getting one, there'll be plenty around without having to go right now for a discounted get-what-you-pay-for model!

By the way, one thing which really annoys me about the 6200 is the 3D buildings - they rear up in front of me and hide the road after the next turn. Dumb! This week, I did a collection from a residential area of London and when I left, my satnavs all said turn right, then turn left - the 6200's 3D block of high-rise flats hid the highlighted road from the right turn so I couldn't see the forward, then left display! And if anybody tells you it calculates your route fast, don't believe them!

I agree with your first paragraph i.e. I'll persist with the 750 for the moment and have a look at the offers when it dies or I get really really fed up with it.

I had a go with CamerAlert on my smartphone at the weekend with mixed results. I think I can see what it is doing but until I get a phone holder (i.e. when the 750 has gone) I don't know the best way to use it. I had issues with getting the sound working and ran out of time to continue. I've had a look at a manual on line and I'll hunt around to see if there any videos etc of it in use.

Thanks again Dennis for your help.

CA sound is a game.

I've got mine working through the car system via BlueTooth but that was a fight. By default it's very low volume so you have to wait for a warning then whilst it's playing quickly up the volume.

I did cheat in the end. Played a phone music track via BT through the system so I had a few minutes to get it right.

I didn't have any difficulty improving the sound - I run it all day long, so it's no problem finding a warning to use to turn up the volume and it stayed up once you've done it for the first time.

Also, I have my iPhone in a handsfree mount all day long too, so I was able to turn up the volume easily enough during a warning.
