Some feedback on the Cheetah C550
The unit itself is tiny but has a nice clear display and the volume can be set loud enough to hear comfortably at speed with the roof down
I hardwired the power feed in both cars without any problems so it can shift between them as required.
It has a few nice features
- you can set an 'overspeed' %age that it applies to the speed limit so that it'll only start nagging you if you're going (100 + overspeed)% of the limit e.g. set overspeed at 10% and, on a 70mph road, it'll alert you if you're doing 77+mph, 55+ in a 50 etc. You can set this as 0 (off), 5%, 10% or 15% and it applies to all cameras with the exception of average speed zones
- Customisable alert distances for the different types of speed camera so you get alerted at a distance you're comfortable with (or you can turn off specific alerts), it also has a separate category for 'Highway cameras' which are cameras on fast roads so you can configure a different warning distance for urban roads and A-roads/Motorways
- The alert distance is augmented by a setting for 'variable warning distance' which automatically reduces the alert distance at slower speeds
Still fine-tuning the settings but, all-in-all, it appears to be a nice little device
