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

What a fantastic little piece of kit. It does exactly what it says on the box. It clearly picks up speed camera's and indicates them in a clear manner. The unit automatically 'goes to sleep' when the car is not in use, and switches on, when you return with your phone. We did look at You Tube for set up advice and could only see the previous version of the Ooono, but when we contacted the company, they stated a new version had been issued. It is still very easy to set up with your phone. Highly recommended as it really does work, and is great value for money.

Had for 2 weeks and the thing is utter rubbish.First time out of the box, the ‘sticky’ pads on the magnet are too small to get any adhesion to any surface, during a 7 mile drive it fell off 4 times. After work i came to my car and it had fell off again but this time the pads had dried out so were useless. Ooono did replace them but still bought a vent mount for the easiest.Going forward, needs constant connection to your phone which obliterates your battery life abd data usage. Half the time it does not connect to your phone so needs to be done manually. So many speed cameras are missing and when you add them they dont stay added most of the time. Just save your money and hassle.

Great bit of kit works well auto connects to phone and long as you set your phone up correctly. Switches on as soon as I move off goes to sleep when not in use . Tested it in my area where there are cameras and it warned for them all . One touch reporting as well

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.

Love this little gadget. Discreet and effective this road safety device warns you of speed cameras and road dangers (Congestion/accidents etc) it works using a combination of database of fixed camera locations and community entered warnings of danger points that you as part of the community contribute to (confirming or not if the danger remains when you pass). It works in combination with an app on your phone that once set up you don’t need to refer to again. This means no phone screen distraction just visual and audio bleep warnings when approaching a speed camera or hazard. The battery lasts a good month and is easily recharged (USB C) two magnets allows for easy positioning on any dash board and the unit has a motion detector so auto turns on and off. Very impressed and no subscription required. Maps and apple car play available if required, but I don’t use this.Recommended.

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."
