The systems are built on the same platform, but when it comes to detection range, Blu Eye GO performs well while Blu Eye 2 performs even better. This difference is mainly due to the type of antenna and its placement. Which version suits you best depends on several factors:

Why choose Blu Eye 2?

• You drive one main car on a daily basis

• You want your Blu Eye to be seamlessly integrated into your car's interior
• You prefer a system that is invisible from outside the vehicle
• You want the maximum possible detection range thanks to an optimally mounted external antenna

Why choose Blu Eye GO?

• You use multiple cars regularly

• You don’t mind attaching the Blu Eye with a bracket to your windscreen, with a power cable running to a USB or 12V outlet
• You’re okay with removing or hiding the device when parking to prevent theft
• You value portability more than having the absolute maximum detection range

Due to the shorter antenna and its placement inside the vehicle (Faraday cage effect), the detection range for emergency services is not as great as that of the Blu Eye 2. However, the detection distances of Blu Eye GO are always sufficient to allow timely response.

What can have a greater impact on the detection range of Blu Eye GO is the possible presence of heat-reflective (metallic) window film. These films often contain metal and can weaken the reception of radio signals inside the vehicle. If needed, this can be compensated for by using an optional external antenna.

You can easily test for the presence of metallic window film using your mobile phone. Hold your phone near the windshield. If the signal strength drops by 1 or 2 bars when you get in and close the door, there is a good chance your windows are fitted with metallic film.

Unfortunately, Blu Eye GO is not suitable for use on motorcycles. The system contains advanced components that operate at high clock speeds, which generate heat. To dissipate this heat efficiently, an active cooling system is used that vents through openings in the housing.

In other words, the GO is not waterproof and therefore not fit for motorcycle use.
These ventilation openings should not be sealed, for example by placing the unit in a plastic bag, as this will cause the temperature to rise excessively. This may trigger the thermal protection, causing the system to temporarily shut down. That is the last thing you want when you're in the middle of a ride.

Blu Eye GO is also not resistant to the extreme vibrations and high-frequency voltage spikes that can occur on certain motorcycles due to high engine speeds.

If your Blu Eye GO is unfortunately stolen, we can block the system at your request. This does not mean the device stops functioning completely, but it prevents the unauthorized owner from performing any updates.

In addition, the serial number of your Blu Eye GO is linked to your email address and to the reference you provide during registration. This can be, for example, your vehicle’s registration number. While we cannot prevent theft, this system allows us to identify the rightful owner if the device is ever recovered.
