Re the Road Angel, did you know that you can get a patch lead to power up a PDA using its GPS unit, which is made by Holux. I have a couple of them and the unit is really powerful. There are leads for the new USB RA and the old Serial RA.

Oh come on, No way you could have come to this conclusion having just over a 100 miles on them on the way from the dealer!!

to be fair tim you are right - this is my 2nd discovery as i back the first one due to paint issues, hence why i was able to sell the 19" wheels new but had had some experience with the kahns
it was quite interesting going back to the 19" for 100 miles then back to the kahns again 
10forcash: have you got a sat nav screen? if so - ill dig the colours out that you need to tap it off D3 JB/B V6 HSE + DVD and NAVtv addon, Steps, Tints, PTI
DVD Modified for front screen display, retro gaming unit added and Road Angel installed. Kahn RSC2-22 wheels

Woodman, yes it should have - when I eventually get it 
The info would be appreciated,
Cheers,

p.s. do you have a heated screen - if so, does it cause any problems with the GPS reception?

10, the screen does if you have a stand alone GPS or Road Angel.

Thanks Brian,
looks like i'll have to investigate sharing the signal from the GPS receiver or fix an external one then

It does not knock it out completely, but reduces the signal down to about 3 sats. My Road Angel (until I added the external aerial) used to drop out just before a speed camera, really great

10, I have the New USB with all the bits RA. It has bells and whistles, even voice and flashing lights, but better still, I have a patch lead from it so I can use a PDA and TomTom anywhere I go.
What may be of interest to you, is that at the end of August Road Angel are bringing out a Portable Sat Nav, using Garmin, which is fully updateable and with Road Angel built in. How do I know, well I know the guys at RA in Silverstone.
The new unit is slightly more expensive than the TomTom 700, but is far better in performance and is about as thck as a pack of playing cards.
