If you are getting it in Mansfield, you should be able to call in at either Pitts Taximeters or Nottingham radio Communications and get them fitted on your way home.

While He's in Mansfield he can call into see Roger at Ace-Abc for a Cygnus meter, he charges £190 fitted.

We use these all the time now. you can get £50 trade in on an old meter at Pitts if you buy one of the mirror ones.

Did you order a reversing camera with yours you get one if you ordered the Columbus rns 510 system, also voice activated Bluetooth, if you haven't, you can get a dam good system fitted by Preston I c e, with night vision cam fitted to the number plate bulb

I can't say that I have had a problem with reversing and none of our drivers have reported having a problem with reversing at night.

The old owner in his wisdom decided to have them fitted across the fleet, he got a decent deal with Pitts because he and George Pitt (the original owner of Pitts) went back many many years before George went into the meter business. He rented the meters off George at a ridiculously low monthly rent each month.

The new owners are having dash mounted Cygnus meters fitted in all new cars.
