I had Laser Interceptors on my 350z and they were awesome... I've got an Antilaser Priority waiting to go in on my 370z sometime this summer.

I've never had that issue with mine. After the GPS learned all the fake signals around my house the unit only makes noise when it's serious.

Those it deals with fine.. its the adaptive cruise control, blind spot, intelligent braking stuff on other cars that drives mine wild.

Don't guess I've noticed that. Of course it's not my daily anymore so I use it much less.

Im using Uniden lrd950. Best bang for your buck radar imo.

My first RD was a uniden, back in '97. Fun story:

My parents are very superstitious (on a 1-10 superstition scale, my dad is like a 6, my mom is a 10... I am probably a 2)..

I got my Uniden RD as a christmas gift when I was 16... I was currently driving a maroon '90 Subary Legacy.. pretty nice car for a HS kid! One week later, I wasn't paying any attention at an intersection in my home town colloquially known as "The Triangle of Death" and I made a left turn into a Geo Metro.

I didn't have a car anymore.. so my buddy with a '94 Acura Integra SE asked to borrow the RD and after a couple of days got hit with an Instant-On and got a ticket (I happened to be in the car with him). He decided he could no longer afford to speed, so he did not need the RD anymore...

Another friend with a '90 RX-7 Turbo asked to borrow it.. couple of days later a wheel flies off a semi and lands on his windshield on the highway. The semi came to a stop, but my buddy didn't react in time what with huge wheels raining from the sky, and embedded his RX-7 under the back of the semi (ruined his hood... not all that bad considering).

So he was without his car for a while.. I got the RD back. Told my parents about all that was going on - My dad promptly asked if he could see it - then took it into the garage and destroyed it with a hammer. I asked why destroy it? Why not sell it or return it? He said - "I don't want anyone else getting this thing."

I never had any issues with my V1 in my 350z... But I did recently total my 2011 370z with my 9500ix. Being that I had that RD for a couple of years before the accident, I have ruled it out as the cause

hahaha! will definitely stay away from unidens and passports. lol

hope u weren't seriously hurt in the accidents.

9500ix, I like it.

Turned of X band of course, but MCSO uses K band out here, so I leave that on. Sure, there are a few false alerts, but they're worth it being that MCSO patrols heavily around my area.

I've been saved by my lrd950 multiple times. I would love to have the V1 but I read a lot of good reviews on the uniden lrd950.
