SHO-ME G-800 Signature

Advantages: 1) Design. Beautiful, quite compact. 2) Actually the radar part itself. At the moment, I'm riding a test firmware, which is not on the official site. That's exactly where I would stay. It was in it that all the jambs were corrected, especially those related to the geiger. There remains one task (and it is common for all signatures) - to learn how to determine the Arena radar (and subspecies of the Arena-p type). Everything else catches with a bang in signature mode! 3) I was very pleased with the presence of such a function as dimming the light from the screen at night. There seems to be a light sensor or something like that. 4) The database is quite relevant to itself and its regular updates are very encouraging. 5) A huge number of settings! (especially in test firmware). You can customize this device completely to fit your needs! 6) A long cord, and it will not take your cigarette lighter, since it has a 12 volt adapter and you can easily plug something else into the same cord. 7) Ability to fill in alternative voice acting. 8) Auto-switching modes !!!

Disadvantages: 1) Mount. I think this is the most and most important disadvantage. Well, guys from show mi, well, they could put silicone suction cups in a device for 6 thousand) Otherwise, they fall off .. But it's good that the set includes a sticky mat and double-sided tape. P.S. Life hack for people like me (well, who have a low torpedo, and I don't want to put the silicone mat from the kit): We take these same suction cups and grease them with household oil) And they will keep tight! 2) Signature mode operation. If there are no Arena-type radars in your city, district, region and region, then in this mode you can drive constantly. But! Since I live where the usual kris have replaced arenas, I only use signature mode in the city. Here he feels right. But on the track, turn it off. Accordingly, when the signature mode is turned off, it turns into an ordinary radar detector with all its drawbacks, which is a shame .. 3) The slyness of the show mi company. I studied all the instructions up and down, went to the forums and that's what I want to say. On the packaging and on the site itself it is written that this is a signature radar detector. In fact, this is only additional.an option that cannot be used everywhere and always. Anyway, this is a software-signature radar, not a signature-based one. I also consider this to be some cheating of the buyer.

Comment: Conclusion: 1) I would recommend this device to everyone who wants to buy a good quality product for themselves, at a normal price, and even with constant updates. 2) Design, ergonomics, heaps of settings - all this makes this device very worthy. And now a little bit of a fly in the ointment) As mentioned, the mount, make silicone suction cups and no complaints. Radar part: When I just bought this device, I naturally turned on the signature mode and go ahead. And I immediately realized that such a thing would not work. I began to understand, read, found this whole thing on the forum. And just the test firmware came out. Configured, turned on signature mode again. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the vizier catches perfectly) It catches the kris perfectly, it starts to squeak as much as a kilometer. The cordon is 150-300 meters away, though I don't know if it was a cordon)) But it seems like the cordon said, so we will believe) What does not catch: In signature mode, it does not catch (and until it does not catch any of the software-signature radar) arena. Or he catches very close (after the drive) and calls her Chris. Accordingly, I set the following settings Autosignature mode up to 40 km per hour Auto city up to 60 km per hour Further route mode. And the whole thing switches itself depending on the speed, since there is also gps) Next, about consumer deception (this is my personal opinion). The real signature radar detector was the Supra 177. There really was a slightly different technology. But excuse me for the price)))) Yes, and it has sunk into oblivion) ​​This same radar detector from the show mi company is soft-signature, like most competitors. Specify at least in the instructions that the signature mode is only an additional one. function to cut off interference and it is not the main mode of the device (according to your own representative on the forum) !!! And then the pathos is huge, but in fact the signature mode is only for the city. In general, the track works perfectly in the mode and catches everything that is needed! In the signature it catches 80 percent of what is needed (I recommend it for the city) I am satisfied with the device, I recommend it for purchase.

Advantages: Beeps in 95% of cases on the case. An up-to-date gps base in which radars are not only added but also removed when they are actually dismantled. Does not respond to new Tuaregs (the owners of the RD will understand what I mean), to automatic gates and similar devices. Setting up a radar from a computer before updating, if you spend 5 minutes and read the instructions which parameter is responsible for what, then you can customize the radar for yourself and minimize its presence in the car. For example, set an alert in the city at 75+ and the radar will be silent if you go slower, or rather +15 to the allowed speed.

Disadvantages: There are no drawbacks for me. The only reaction left to one of the parking lots near the shopping center with barriers, but I think it's a matter of time and this signal will be included in the list of false ones.

Comment: Before that, there was an ordinary g800str and I liked everyone and I was ready to put up with false alarms from gas stations and other things, but Tuaregs and Kodiaks have become very annoying lately, and I'm sure that every day there will be more and more such cars. Let me explain for those who are not in the know - these cars have an active safety system operating in the K-band and radars are very good at responding to them at speeds of 40+. And in the signature radar, as I understand it, a database of such cars was added and the radar, recognizing this signal, ignores it. The purchase met my expectations 100%.

Advantages: Not yet let down and I think there will be no problems. How the clock plows. The database is regularly updated. I like the backlight adjustment.

Disadvantages: The cord could be made longer.

Comment:

Advantages: Bought the radar over a year ago, on the advice of a friend and made the right decision, Accurate, multifunctional, easy to use radar. Able to identify all types of cameras used in the vastness of our vast homeland (including dummies). Voice notification of camera type, distance, and speed limit for a given section. The camera bases are updated every month. Very high quality, during the year of operation there were not any failures in the software, and in the design itself there were no .. Once I changed the fuse in the radar power supply due to a voltage surge, the fuse costs 3p. I highly recommend this product!

Disadvantages: not identified

Comment: price-quality ratio

Advantages: Nice voice interface. Very convenient and successful operation. Good GPS reception I was pleased with the singatour mode, finally, you do not need to constantly manually jam the radar detector.

Disadvantages: 1 - the cord is too short, cannot be hidden under the dashboard. 2 - the suction cup is constantly falling off the glass, solved the problem by smearing it with silicone.

Comment: to be honest, I expected less. When I read the characteristics, I thought that the next underdevelopment, of which a huge number is now being released on the market. But no. After sitting for 20 minutes and conjuring over the settings, I decided to make a circle around the city. Lo and behold, 500 m away he warned me about the camera, told me what kind of camera it was, where it hit and what to do (slow down). He didn’t squeak or shout, but simply warned. I liked the display brightness setting mode (automatic) when I decided to update the databases - there were no problems, I went to the site, downloaded the software, started it and wow, the databases were updated. It's funny what warns about dummies. I knew about the presence of 2 of these in the city, but I always doubted whether it was a dummy or not. I am satisfied with the device, I have not yet figured out how to deal with the shortcomings, I will probably look for another cord, I hope it will fit. And so, in general - I recommend.

Advantages: Compact, after updates does not buggy, auto-switching modes

Disadvantages: No

Comment: For half a year I have never failed! Notifies about cameras in advance, I manage to slow down. And most importantly, the voice is not disgusting and does not distract.

I really liked how this radar detector effectively detects speed measurement systems installed on the road. Due to modern signature technology, all false signals are eliminated and the radar detector does not bother with constant warnings. The installed GPS module reports radars based on a regularly updated base with coordinates.

I acquired such a radar detector solely because of the presence of signature technology for determining speed control devices. Thanks to which, the number of false alarms of the radar detector has been significantly reduced, even when driving in urban areas. Liked the easy installation on the windshield.

Advantages: Beautiful design. Reliable. Voice notification allows you not to be distracted from the road. Database update once a week. Customization for your needs and driving style is very simple. It catches all cameras for a kilometer or a half. Cameras in the back are fixed at 300-500 meters.

Disadvantages: no

Comment: Withstood 3 trips across Russia over the summer, a total of 10,000 km. Not a single fine

Advantages: Large selection of settings, convenient control, catches almost everything, low price

Disadvantages: a couple of times very late warned

Comment: With the advent of "Hidden" cameras on the tracks and with our love of fast driving, letters of happiness came to us almost every week. I had to pay for fines and, on the advice of friends, we got ourselves a miracle assistant. Fines almost never come to us, which makes us very happy. The radar has a wide range of action, it catches not only cameras, but also radars. It has a very user-friendly display that shows the time and speed of the vehicle. At a speed of more than 120 km / h, the radar gives a warning signal to slow down, and when the car is turned on, the radar signals about the seat belts. I was pleased that it was possible to manually remove false alarm points (gas stations, shopping centers, etc.). Conversely, add custom points. There are 3 modes - city1, city2 and highway. In the "track" mode, it catches everything. In general, we are satisfied with the purchase! Recommend!!
