Top tip! Buy yourself a magnetic micro usb charging plug. Use the small magnetic usb plug and leave installed in the Saphe unit. Then you have a magnetic charging cable that can be connected up to this plug. That way you don’t damage the micro usb port on the Saphe unit by using the provided cable.
You mentioned that there is no subscription required. However, it wouldn't work through your apple carplay unless you purchased the subscription. This is slightly misleading.
Think you’ve got the wrong info here, there is a subscription model for pro features, at the time of filming the Saphe app (which is also a navigation app) wouldn’t work through Apple car play, however in the latest updates that now works Sound was still coming through which you can here in the video, there is now a Pro model also which a video is coming early January on which gives you 12 months subscription for the pro features
I found your discount code did not work, also it needs iOS 13.0 or above would not work on my iPhone 6 with iOS 12.5.5 had to return to Halfords great pity. Good review.
Hi Paul , can you please tell me how to pair my phone to the saphe device , as my phone only shows Devices and unknown device but no saphe drive app , please advise thank you .
Funny you should say this, mine did the exact same a few days ago after a few weeks of not charging, so I plugged it in for an hour still nothing, so kept hold of the 2 buttons either side for 10 seconds and it kicked back in and also had an update on the app
Hi Paul, I’ve noticed that mine is indicating average speed cameras on the A12 in Essex between junction 15 and 16, but these were taken down months ago. I contacted Saphe but they were no help! Any ideas how to get these removed?
Is it just a Tone warning or Speech also telling you the distance the Cameras are away, i dont use the phone sat Nav use the Car , is that a Issue?. Does it just do one or the other , A Speed Cam Warning or the Accidents or can they both be combined and run together ? Thanks
My car has not got bluetooth will this saphe mini drive work pls??? also does it tell u the speed u r travelling at ? does it turn on and off automatically??
hi paul can you tell me which setting on the saphe mini that picks up avg speed cameras and static one and mobile one there is 2 pics on camera side pls could you tell me which one does all of the ones that i have said thanks in advance
Hi mate it certainly does however it’s similar to Waze, were it’s user operated so it would of had to of been in that location in the past and been marked
@@PaulRankinYT so in layman terms no it doesnt detect them, someone even with saphe could be caught speeding by camera, then he has to use device to port it been there.
Just bought Saphe Drive Pro and Im quite disappointed. The website breaks, theres no easy way to upgrade subscription and the product features is misleading. Saphe presents its product as if it can display the near real time speed limit in location but its not! The web app does not show this and the device looks dumb with just battery and gps icon. The device even auto switch off screen and made me doubt if its on or not. I have an App only subscription and I have to buy a new subscription to pair my device. This is despite the price is just the same! The site provides cancellation but its broken because you can only cancel this via Apple’s subscription menu on Iphone. Saphe supports Mobilepay but i attempts to launch the Mobilepay app on a device that I dont have mobilepay. And theres no other way to send susbcription request to my other phone where I do these kind of transactions. I hope theres better alternative to this.
For those that dont' have their phone on display, don't have CarPlay/android auto or for the older generation who don't know what Waze is and still want to be protected on the road
@@simonnelson7770 I know that mate was just showing how it’s shown on Amazon etc My reply does look a bit defensive, didn’t mean it to come across like that
@@PaulRankinYT cheers paul, i already have tomtom cameras on my sat nav and also on my aguri dash cam. Just thought this is a good unit only lacking the mobile reports to be better
@@PaulRankinYT i have tried waze. If i use it with my van via carplay i need to use the usb port. I like to have my music on a usb stick in the port. Just wanted a simple unit to trip and to report the camera vans. Im half and half deciding ti get one
@@kevinclough2394 it’s a shame they took the discount code away so quickly, could of save some money on it. It is a great unit like when I was on a smart motorway a few weeks back and it went off to warn me
Hey John, the phone does pair up to it, I have mine set to always allow that way it’s active as soon as I drive away, I have an updated video coming soon with it
Is this connection bluetooth allow second cennection to car stereo ? Am aaking bcs i dont want block my bluetooth in phone just for this gadget Plus 2 question its app works in background ?
Hi Rich, in the settings on the app you can adjust the volume and tone you want. Mine was loud as I had my phone plugged in for Apple Car Play so it came through the speakers
Hi Paul. I have had this unit for a couple of weeks. Great bit of kit. Sometimes the sound comes through the speakers really loud, which is what I need. But sometimes it seems just to come from the phone which is not loud enough. How do I make it come through the speakers all of the time? Thankd
Would you buy Saphe for your car, van or Lorry?
I’ve enjoyed using it for the last 2 weeks

Hello, nice vid, just a quick one, does it show you the speed limit of the road you're travelling on?
the only advantage versus Waze is, that you are adding data quicker? :S
It's good idea to prevention speeding fine definitely I will buy one
How well does it work against portable speed camera vans? Does it tell you high risk zones ect?
I've brought as it let you know the speed limit of the road handy feature when you don't know what type of road u r on
Does it need phone connected all time
What about mobile speed camera vans?

Glad I am not the only one who got scared the crap out when the first camera was picked up
I found your discount code did not work, also it needs iOS 13.0 or above would not work on my iPhone 6 with iOS 12.5.5 had to return to Halfords great pity. Good review.
Unfortunately Saphe only gave the discount code for a month but only mentioned it when someone else went to order one
Is this device works in shity Middle East please?
Can you please share your setting ? Because the warning sounds not coming from my car speakers for some reason it’s only coming from this device ..
Hi Paul , can you please tell me how to pair my phone to the saphe device , as my phone only shows Devices and unknown device but no saphe drive app , please advise thank you .
Have you downloaded the saphe drive app?
@@PaulRankinYT Hi Paul ,thank you for getting back to me , i managed to get it sorted buddy , thank you take care .
@@JourneysEndLofts glad you got it sorted mate sorry I didn’t reply sooner
Hi Paul , my Saphe has completely turned it self of , I can't seem to get it to start up , What would you advise ,, thanks Paul take care .

What do the buttons actually do? Surely you don’t need them if it just works automatically?
You can add more points of cameras or hazards and it adds them to the map without the need for touching your phone to warn other users
Hi Paul, I’ve noticed that mine is indicating average speed cameras on the A12 in Essex between junction 15 and 16, but these were taken down months ago. I contacted Saphe but they were no help! Any ideas how to get these removed?
change to another product
Did you say you had the alert noise coming through your car speakers/stereo? How did you manage that?
It’s when I have my phone plugged in for Apple Car Play
Can I use this mini and Tom Tom via Apple car play at the same time?
Great review, thank you. I have a question, how much data does it us to run off your phone?
Will it constantly charge if connected via usb and cig lighter plug 5v .does it act as speedometer ?
Is it just a Tone warning or Speech also telling you the distance the Cameras are away, i dont use the phone sat Nav use the Car , is that a Issue?.
Does it just do one or the other , A Speed Cam Warning or the Accidents or can they both be combined and run together ?
Thanks
Sounds like a place car when it goes off, scared the life out of me when it first done it thought I was getting pulled over
Just purchased a saphe does it need fully charging before using it in car
I can't remember if I charged mine before using it
Brilliant review
Thanks mate appreciate you watching
Got one for £15 (work bargain offer for colleagues) will put it in soon just wanted to see what people think
Now that’s a Bargain, hope you like it
My question is me and my mom drive the same car can i have 2 different phones using it
I'm unsure on that specifically but I do have an iPhone and android phone logged in but unsure if one cancels out the other
Just brought one looks so easy to set up
Can you use this with saphe running in the background on your phone or does it have to be fully open?
Can be in the background, just have to change your settings to always allow
Is the display on all the time as mine just goes blank after a few mintues
No it goes off and only lights up to Inform you of things
Hi Mate, so it is basically an extension of hour phone as in bluetolth connection and you have to have the location on the phone all the time?
Can this one unit be used on 3 mobile phones in 3 different cars
hi, ive just bought this item, but why is it playing a warning sound thats not even in the saphe app. hope you can help.
My car has not got bluetooth will this saphe mini drive work pls??? also does it tell u the speed u r travelling at ? does it turn on and off automatically??
It works off your phone and tells you the speed of the road if it has a camera on it
I wanted to develop such device . Didn't even knew existed but i was working for something more or less the same as i wanted one mainly for speed
Great video Paul , dose the Saphe pick up traffic car police cameras ,, thanks buddy .
hi paul can you tell me which setting on the saphe mini that picks up avg speed cameras and static one and mobile one there is 2 pics on camera side pls could you tell me which one does all of the ones that i have said thanks in advance
Is it mini are pro version
hi paul will this device detect mobile speed camera's.
Hi mate it certainly does however it’s similar to Waze, were it’s user operated so it would of had to of been in that location in the past and been marked
@@PaulRankinYT so in layman terms no it doesnt detect them, someone even with saphe could be caught speeding by camera, then he has to use device to port it been there.

Does the drive pro shows real time speed limit of the road?
hi, how do you report a mobile speed van with this item.
You need to press right (blue) button
code doesnt work boohoo,,does this pickup those crafty hide away van?
Someone needs to report on their device.. but if its been done before it will bleep .most camera vans sit in their same usual spot
What’s the point in this. I mean if you have Waze or Google maps. What’s the difference?
For those that dont' have their phone on display, don't have CarPlay/android auto or for the older generation who don't know what Waze is and still want to be protected on the road
How does this update re new cams and what about pop up cameras
Another User would have to of identified a new one and added it to the database
Can it work in Africa?
Think it’s only UK and EU but I’d check Amazon to find out
@@PaulRankinYT let me know
Can you use one without a phone connected to it?
It needs a phone connection unfortunately
@@PaulRankinYT Ok thank you
Does this notify red light camera?
Certainly does and also avg speed cams on motorways
Does it detect cameras or just use a data base?
I believe it’s the data base and down to other users
Paul Rankin thanks, then it's not a detector as stated and therefore not reliable so for that reason I'm out
The Saphe Drive Mini speed camera detector
^ how it’s classed on its advertising, has detector in the title hence why I stated it
Paul Rankin I'm not having a go at you mate, it's them who are being slightly misleading not you 👍

U cant say that u dont need a subscription.u do for it to work....
I can say it 100%, I have no subscription apart from being signed in and works just as it should but I’m not in the EU I’m in the UK
Does this app needs to open all the time??
Doesn’t need to be open but location needs to be set to Always
does it require internet while driving
Requires a connection to your phone
Does the phone have to be linked to it all the time while in car or not ? Great vid

It does mate but don’t think it works off a signal the van is putting out I think it goes off pre existing places the van is known to have been parked
Hi Mate, does it work in Denmark?
Because here you can only buy it with subscription
Hi mate All I was told was it works right across the UK and EU
