OOONO CO-DRIVER NO2 [NEW MODEL 2024] - Optimised Traffic Safety Alarm - Warns of Speed Cameras and Road Hazards - Rechargeable - LED Indicator - CarPlay & Android Auto Compatible

Love the Co-Driver 2, I upgraded to 2 from 1. I absolutely love it. There are a few issues but nothing major. SAT NAV voice speaks far too fast and as yet I have found nowhere to change it. On the odd occasion, the route shows correctly on screen but the voice advises ''turn left'' when it is clearly a right hand turn. Otherwise it works great with Google Maps and as yet, I have not had any cameras that are unreported by CD 2. For the dissenters who say 'if you don't speed you wouldn't need one', well that's utter rubbish. It's peace of mind and a safety alert so in my opinion its a fabulous gadget and personally I'd recommend it.

To use this you need to download an App. Create an account and sign in. From the App you send them you email and say they will send you a sign in number to that email address. They don't. They don't answer their phone because their massage says they are to busy. After a week wait for an Email response, they said they are really busy with sales, but gave me a code number that would work, but I had 24hrs to put it in. It worked and the devise works as they say. About week later, it stopped working. The App said I had to sign in. I did and it said it would send me a code. No number came back. Still no one answering their phone. Emailed them again. The reply was. We are really busy, we will reply in over a week. No thanks. I am to busy and its to unimportant to keep doing this every couple of weeks. Sent it back.

Recommended by a friend and it hasn’t disappointed. Very quick & easy to install.Expensive but if it saves speeding fines & points then it’s worth every penny.I’ve only driven locally so far so only used a couple of the features so far but it does what you expect.The sounds are different and I’m still trying to recognise the difference but that will come.

Ooono No2Inside the box.Upon opening the box you will find one Ooono no2 device, one USB cable, a very basic manual and one set of magnetic mounts. I believe only one set of magnetic mounts is a bit stingy really because they’re tiny little magnets and it wouldn’t cost them much to include a second set for when you change your vehicle or if you have two vehicles and want to move it from one to another.InstallationFirst charge the device using the usb lead that came with the unit.The device was very easy to install simply attach the magnetic mounts to the Uno device on the rear, remove the sticky backings, find a suitable clean area on your dash and firmly press the device to secure it to the dash. The device is portable and easily removed from the magnetic Mounts and when you want to put it back on the dash you’ve simply attach it back onto the magnets. Once this is charged, you do not need to keep it connected to the USB cable however I chose to keep my cable connected to my cars USB charging port so I don’t have to worry about the battery running out. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to see anywhere that shows you how much charge the device has and I think this is a floor in the design. It would be very simple for the app to display the charge of the device so you know when you need to charge it rather than having to charge it when it runs out of battery and I hope this can be resolved in a a future update of the app.Downloading the appI use an iPhone so I went onto the App Store and downloaded the Ooono app where you have to open an account with an email address and a password. Once you have an account and you are logged in on the app you can follow the on-screen instructions to connect your device to your phone through Bluetooth connection. This device needs a Bluetooth connection to your phone in order for it to work. Once the Ooono device has connected for the first time whenever you leave your car, it will disconnect and when you next get into your car, it will automatically reconnect as long as you keep your Bluetooth on. When you get into your vehicle, the device will make a noise to show that you have entered the vehicle and when you start to move the device will make a little tune to confirm you are connected. If your device does not connect then your device will start to flash red warning you that you’re not connected.Using the device.The unit seems to work well in detecting fixed speed cameras and camera traffic lights but it’s heavily relies on lots of other people owning a Uno device and reporting mobile speed cameras. The more people who own a Ooono device and then report the mobile speed camera by pressing the button on the Ooono device the better otherwise if nobody has already reported the Mobile speed camera, you will not get an alert. I believe it takes two people to press their device at the same location for you to then receive the mobile speed camera alerts or the road hazards like broken down vehicles and roadworks etcetera can also be reported by pressing the main button on the Uno device twice. If you approach a speed camera then your device will warn you by beeping and flashing blue. If you are approaching a hazard then your device should warn you by beeping and flashing red. The distance in which you are warned about the approaching speed camera or hazard can be adjusted in the app. I set mine at about 0.3 miles away from the camera because there is not an option in the app to distinguish between Mobile speed cameras and fixed cameras and if the Ooono device warned you of the speed camera that you are approaching any closer than 0.3 miles than the mobile speed cameras will probably be within distance to catch a speeding motorist. I think believe the app should have a distance for warnings to be given on mobile speed cameras and a different distance for warnings to be given for fixed cameras but it does not so hopefully if they update the app they may in the future change this to allow to speed warning distances for different types of cameras.The Ooono no2 device Halo light can the flash continuously Green or you can turn it off if it’s annoying if you prefer. I personally did not mind it flashing during the day but there is no way to dim the brightness of the light and when it flashed at night it was quite bright and I found it dazzling so I turned it off which makes no difference to the function ability of the device and you still get all your alerts. I believe this light needs to be dimmable or it has to have a night setting so it isn’t as bright during night hours and I hope this is something they can amend in a future app update.The Ooono app has a map feature, but it is not Google Maps which is very disappointing plus it is very basic. When you set a destination using the Ooono map it will show you your route but it will only show you the speed cameras that are close by and does not show you all the speed cameras that you are expected to come across on your journey which I would really like to know about before I set off because there could be an alternative route with less speed cameras on. I find that when you use the Ooono no2 device with the map on your phone you get a better experience because you get a warning on the Ooono device and you can then glance at your map and it will tell you what to look out for for example, a speed camera or a traffic light camera et cetera. I believe that they have to use Google Maps in the future because the map is just not good enough compared to Google Maps in my opinion. The other option they could go for is instead of you using the Ooono app map your phone could actually verbally alert you to the upcoming hazard or camera therefore then you could use the Google Maps but your phone would still tell you what danger to look out for verbally.One feature this device does not have is the ability to store personalised location hotspots for example if in your area there is a regular Mobile speed camera on a particular place on a particular street it would be nice to be able to alert you and only you to be extra careful to this potential danger whenever you approach this road because we all know how easily it is to be distracted and go that 1 mile an hour over the limit even on a road you know there is sometimes a speed camera on so for that reason I think this would definitely be a feature to incorporate into the device for the future.Overall so far I am very pleased with the product for the price however I think it needs lots of work and I would be happy to pay more money for the device if it had more of the features I have mentioned above but overall for a subscription free device I think it is well worth the £57 I paid for it and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Wish I brought this unit years ago.It’s been a game changer for me. I can now get notifications on speed cameras before they see me.One charge lasts me 3 months. So I don’t have any problems with cables in the way when driving. Just charge at home & put it in the car cup holder works for me.

Its a god scent to have one cheap easy to use very accurate plenty of warning virtualy sticks anywere in the vehicle not much space needed green and red light to let you no and audible tome with usability to update when new speed cameras come up Brilliant.

I have the Ooono number 2 version for my car and I also bought the number 1 version for our van but not used the van one yet.As for the number 2 edition, I will leave an updated review if anything changes but so far, with hindsight, I would have saved my money and just used the Waze app.I have left a message as below with Ooono as follows to save me typing it out again. But hopefully you'll understand my frustrations."My ooono number 2 doesn't automatically connect all the time and I can't always tell if it's turned on. My phone says it isn't connected and hibernating, so I end up turning it off and on to connect it but it should be automatic.Also, how do I know what the charge is available as I don't know when the battery is depleted.The sat navigation element isn't very good compared to Waze and Google as the ooono app is very basic in comparison and doesn't always find the postcode etc and if more than one destination, I can't change the route order.Please advise or update accordingly."
