Radar for your car??

Wow.

Something like this:











Just kidding! I think you mean a Radar Detector

I run with a Valentine One, works great! I have it hardwired to hide the powercord.

You'll get lots of opinions on whether the battery unit is a good thing. It wasn't for me. YMMV.

 

hardwire > wireless. It's very simple to hardwire the detector in.

 

Happy Valentine Day coming soon.

 

radar is wireless.

very confused.. have you looked at this thing called google. i hear it is good.




beers

 

Does it fit in my car? How hard is it to install? Power gains? (+google HP maybe)

 

I think he is looking for a cordless detector, like the Escort Solo.

 

The escort solo is alright but it's detection capability drops significantly as the batteries age. The escort passport 9500 and Valentine 1 are probably the two most popular wired solutions on the market. I have the 9500i and love it. The GPS capabilities put this thing into a whole other league.

 

Im a fan of the tried and true K40 laser defuser and radar detector

 

I've actually got one for sale

https://www.beltronics.com/store/rx-65-blue.html
It was used for 2 weeks then I upgraded to the GX65 Red.

It comes with the case / power adapter / detector / suction cups. Sorry but no manual.
I'm asking $320, its $380 new, and it was only used for 2 weeks.

 

Read up on the Solo. It's performance is poor compared to wired solutions. Unless your ad emit about having a wireless detector, I'd shy away from it.

 

i've been using the escort 8500 and it is absolutely amazing, you can find it for cheap on ebay (prob less than $200), it's already saved me over a $1000 dollars worth of would-be tickets.

 

O my gawd!

get a valentine. They are expensive, but if you are willing to buy a radar, why not get the best. They will also upgrade it for you if they come out with new stuff for the fraction of the price of a new one. I hardwired mine to the fuse box(there's a DIY on here) and then ran the wires through the roof lining and mounted it on the mirror with a 3/4" mount I bought online.

Works like a dream. Catches everything and tells you were they are in relation to you. As well as how many.

 

FWIW, The 8500 is a great detector. That's what I had before i upgraded to the 9500i.

 

I just upgraded to the Escort Passport 9500ix and it is awesome

 

Just make sure to mount it in the middle of the dash... its most visible=better signal.

 

i have mine mounted off the rear view mirror and wired into the back of the rear view mirror.
