What Kind Of Radar Detector Do You Use?
So I figured this would be a fun topic.
We are all guilty of speeding every now and again, some more than others. What kind of Radar Detector do you use? If not, why not? Perhaps a local law prohibiting it?

RE: What Kind Of Radar Detector Do You Use?
WOW, so for 450 bucks, I figure that is kind of steep, but I am reading all over the place that this is the way to go..

I don't have one either, but I am thinking about it, because if I wanna go fast, I wanna be warned about radar ahead! lol

[align=center]Keegan, the Beltronic's looks like a super device : )[/align][align=center]Let us know, what you get `ok : )[/align]
Instructions
Difficulty: Easy[align=center][/align]
Steps
1[align=center][/align]
Introduction
The obvious way to avoid a speeding ticket, of course, is not to speed. But where's the fun in that? Crafty manufacturers, such as Escort, Valentine, Bel-tronics and Cobra, have developed sophisticated radar detectors to keep those flashing red lights out of your rear-view mirror.

Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Steps
1
Step One
Understand that radar used by law-enforcement officers works by shining microwave searchlights down the road. When your car comes into range, the beam bounces off of it. The radar antenna calculates your speed from the reflections it receives.

[align=center][/align]Step Two
Decide where you'll mount the radar detector--to the windshield, the dash or the visor, for $50 to $100--or have it custom installed for upwards of $1,000. Where the unit is mounted significantly affects signal detection--the higher the better. Consider, too, whether you'll use it in one particular vehicle or in multiple vehicles (in which case you'll need a mount that's easy to remove).

[align=center][/align]Step Three
Shop for a radar detector that's most appropriate for your driving habits. The greater the detector's sensitivity, the more effective it'll be. An experienced salesperson can help you determine the best detector and placement for you.

[align=center][/align]Step Four
Look for a unit that detects a wide range of frequencies, or bands, including laser (sometimes called Lidar). Police radar guns use a variety of frequencies to clock speeders. If you want to be stealthy, look for VG-2 alert, which protects your vehicle from VG-2 radar detection and makes your detector undetectable. Check with a salesperson for the frequency in your area.

Tips & Warnings
[align=center]Radar detectors aren't foolproof. You can get false positives or be alerted too late to that radar gun behind a hill or around a bend. [/align][align=center]Radar detectors are illegal to use in some states and Canadian provinces, and on certain vehicles. Obey the laws wherever you drive. [/align][align=center]Avoid radar jammers: They're illegal and don't work. [/align][ul][/ul]

RE: What Kind Of Radar Detector Do You Use?
i dont sport one because its mega illegal in VA just like everything else lol
not to mention the new law that if u fail to use a turn signal its a $1,050 fine for that

Well, the goal of this new radar detector is to tell you when a cop is AHEAD, that way you can slow down and not get popped and tagged. This STi unbiased road test said it can detect up to 1.5 miles ahead of you on a curvy road, or 11 miles straightaway.. incredible!
