Radar detectors

Installed a wistler pro 3600 remote radar detector yesterday with an additional rear facing antenna. I know it's not top of the line, but my middle end detectors plus attentive driving have kept me ticket free for the last 20 years. Used the front bumper removal diy to get me started. Thanks 370z.com<br/> Here are couple of pics

I spent 8-10 hours instaling the pro-3600 on Saturday 05/24 and today I spent 4 hours uninstalling it. Why do I have the worst luck?

After install I drove around for a couple of days and did seem to be getting a high number of false alerts. I figured I would drive for a while and just fine tune the filter settings to my liking. Today I go to take a drive to see how the unit is responding and I get the "Please check Radar 1 communications lines" warning. Double checked all the connections and everything is fine. I am pissed, not so much at Whistler, I understand sometimes products fail. It is just that I spent so much time and effort installing everything including removing my bumper and numerous panels to hide the wires for a nice clean install. I am just not going to take a chance on doing all this work to remove and then re-install a replacement, just to have it possibly fail again. This one is going back to Amazon. I'll stick with my old whistler window mount for now and save up for a Bel or Escort remote install model. Man I did love the look of the remote install, I had the display mounted to the top of my rear-view mirror, pretty much invisible to all but me.

I actually had to send the radar antenna from my STi-R back for repair once. In that case, the part wasn't to much trouble to remove because it is detachable from the main cable.

No disrespect, but you could have simply tested the unit on your dash and tried it out. Then after you decide to keep it you would follow through with the installation.
