InfoRad K1

This thread has been split from discussion here.

You could invest in an Inforad device. The K1 is small, cheap (£39.99) and they use our database under licence.

I have a K1 stuck to the windscreen above the interior mirror, it is the size of a USB memstick so unobtrusive.

It would be even more unobtrusive if it didn't have those spurious red bands around it. I hope Inforad ditch those on the Mark 2.

Really? That is excellent information. It might seem (indeed it is) grindingly trivial, but those bands have been the only thing deterring me from buying one! Laughing

PS: Are they literally just bands? Or is there a groove beneath them that is exposed when they are removed? It's hard to tell from the online pics.

Ha ha. No, I'd rather watch paint dry than watch soccer. But I do have an admittedly irrational aesthetic objection to those red bands. Laughing

Seamaster, just for you, here is the K1 with and without its red bands:

Thank you, Darren. Much appreciated. Cool

Surely I'm not the only one who prefers the stealthier look for such devices? Wink

The bands serve as an anti-slip solution if you were not to use the bracket but if you do then they serve no useful purpose.

It's so small that I really don't even notice it, so much so though that on long journeys I invariably forget to switch it off when I have arrived at my destination Confused

Is it not smart enough to switch itself off when it hasn't detected movement for a while?

Is it worth putting the K1 in a different thread - it looks interesting, but I'd never have thought of checking Toyota threads! Shocked
