Cheers to all giving their impressions of the v2 TPX. Nothing beats the feedback from actual users

Doing its thing just fine. The v2.0 is much better than the v1.0 especially in terms of range.

Looking at the price tag of these things just reminded me of why I buy nothing in NZ anymore thats motorcycle related. When I get around to getting one of these I will get it from Tim at PashnitBusa

Ok so that's approx $400 nz, plus freight, wiring loom and mount.

I got all the above for $650 from nz dealer 'radar direct' and have had it replaced under warranty with ease. Good luck buying abroad.

had my TPX v2 for almost 2 years now

After 2 monmths, 1st one the screen fogged so the display became random after getting caught is a shower riding and was replaced by Radar Direct no problem.

Currently the only problem I have is with the visual display LED warning light almost never working . Tried CRC on the plug incase its not sending the signal and had the wiring checked but looks ok.
And with the wireless head set, 1st set of screws corroded badly and now the plastic that the screws push against on the back plate has disintegrated in 2 of the screwholes. That back piece really needs to be metal or have metal plugs.

Other than that works fine. Picks up patrol car ka band no problem as long as they aren't cruising with it off and turn on as you get in range.

I have purchased plenty of stuff from abroad. Saving shit loads of cash. Had a couple of issues with a few things and had no problems at all with warranty issues. Do not even have to send it back. They take my word for it. You have got to love the yanks for some things.

A lot of kiwi bikers seem to think they just because you buy stuff from aboard that warranty issues are a pain. Well certainly not in my book. Worst case is that you will have to pay to send the goods back. You are still way ahead Monday wise if you got it here.
The attitude in New Zealand with some retailers is shocking. Some of them treat you like a Lepper. Some of them make it so hard to get anywhere with a warranty issue.

Had a problem with casings on tpx ear pc and the visual remote light not working properly . Refer to my post a couple up
. Contacted adaptive via their web site and they sent me replacement by air mail . Arrived 3 days later .
I also bought the Bluetooth unit for tpx , having some issues with white noise . Again asked question via website and got answer next day .

Adaptive take their customer service seriously , carnt reccomend them highly enough .

Hopefully next gen tpx will be out soon and include bluetooth .
