after my recent speeding fine and with the purchase of the scooby and the fact that my road angel was rubbish I have bought the micro road pilot with a wee gizmo down near the number plate;)

was tried out today on the A9 and worked a treat:D

thought i would post to say in my opinion this bit of kit is streets ahead of the road angel and it's only the size of a 50p bit.

I have the micro road pilot as well and find it an excellent piece of kit and so much neater than the road angel.

Cheers for that :cool: i think i'm gonna try and get mine a bit more discrete, say in the right hand corner

I wanted up on top of dash so that I didn't need to change my line of vision as I use this more for my speed than I do the speedo.

Also I have my Blitz R-Vit fitted on the right hand side corner.

Hey BS did you ever go ahead and get your Micro Pilot fitted.

If so did you get it hard wired Locally looking to get one in the Cabrio.
