hey guys/girls

i got a Beltronics Vector LR that i received of a mate for free as he said it wasn’t working last time he checked. i found a power connection for it and turned it on, and as my mate said, it comes with a error.. it starts of normal and comes up with the normal start up display but after about 5-10 seconds of being on it comes up with . " ?LO1 CAL" i asked some of my friends and one said it may be a calibration error.

Does anyone know what this error is or what " ?LO1 CAL" stands for. also does anyone know whether this problem is fixable and if so an approx. price.

Thanks any help appreciated niran

I found that powering it on from cold it worked fine, if it was in the sun for too long it would start giving me that error. Lucky for me it was still within it's 3 year warranty and I took it to a supplier and repairer and they actually replaced it (and with a newer model), place was called Neltronics in Subi.

OK.. here's the story...

"LO CAL" (or "MARKERS" or "PLL LCK") is a fault code describing some kind of error has occured during a calibration test. BELTRONICS are keeping their software to themselves to avoid Chinese manufacturers from reverse engineering their products and whacking on the software... smart hey! :)

To repair this issue we would hopefully have a replacement board here in stock... we simply open up your faulty unit... put in the refurbished board... set up the menu and bands and away you go. The faulty board is then shipped to BELTRONICS to be refurbished and reflashed with new software.

The software repair is $95.

In WA cops use:

Multanova (not multinova!!!) which is a Ka band radar signal... low output so hard to detect

Patrol cars which use a K band radar signal... strong power so easy to detect... BUT... remember not every car is equiped and if they are, they might not be turned on

Sgt Plod himself uses a hand held laser signal... very strong, very fast, very accurate, VERY NARROW so damn hard to detect unless its fired right at your detector at which point they probably have you anyway.

That concludes todays lesson kiddies... now you can all go home, except Ossie... come here for a touching!

$95 to repair? What about warranty ;)
i got a Beltronics Vector LR that i received of a mate for free as he said it wasn’t working last time he checked.

Need I say more!!!

Plus the fact that a Vector LR came out around 9-10 years ago with a 1 year warranty.

Pulp, what unit do you have?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
