Read this by McMaddy two days ago. Sourced the files on eBay and received them today on an SD card. Updated in a couple of minutes - simple. Small cost - potential licence saving. Thanks.  :smiley:

Sorry to hijack this!  But is it possible please for a link to the card you bought? Id love to do this to my car.

Thanks in advance!

You can get speedcam files from eBay and then just load them on. Been doing it like that for years without any issue.

Excellent, thanks. Never heard about this facility before. Just before ordering, is this the correct item?

Yes that’s the seller I ordered from. Received the SD card the day after I ordered complete with installation guide. Very simple.

The only trouble is, it wont get downloaded into the car!?

Ive put it in the slot, it says new info etc, it says download, I press download..but nothing happens!

Im no youngster..so not great with "tech"..but I got my daughters boyfriend to install it (using the instructions) he got the same result as me...ie nothing! lol!

Thing is you can't make the warning noise anything more than a little 'peep', hardly noticeable, I set mine up with a free database but not updated it for ages...
