What Radar Detector do you use on your Z ??

I have owned a passport 9500ix from 2012, and it has worked pretty good. I love its blue LED with the red gauges on dashboard.

Nowadays there are many false alerts on K band by many RDs for new cars with Collision Avoidance System and Blind Spot Monitoring, etc..

What RD have you used, or any recommended RD you might suggest ??

:D

i have the 9500i. i turned off the X and K bands because of so many false readings. Try that.

I go with the ANX (auto no X) mode, and actually do not need the K band detection because I do not overspeed at local here in California.

Usually I only use my RD for Ka band detection on freeway/highway, but I just want to enjoy all of its basic features except for X band.

Escort passport radar Max. Have everything turned off except for KA. Might turn X back on because cops around here still use it for some stupid reason

Valentine One.

I just recently purchased the latest version with the K-band junk fighter (basically eliminates false alarms). The K-band junk fighter really works. I know this because my old radar detector was a Valentine One which I used for over 15 years. I still have my old one and will send it off to Valentine to refurbish then I'll probably give it to one of my daughters.

If you want the best go with a Valentine One :drops mic:

v1... and get the latest revision software.

V1 rules.

Where do you mount your detector? In my previous car I mounted it above the rearview mirror. It was out of sight for anyone looking in the car from the outside, but clearly visible to the driver and clear lines of sight to the front, sides and rear. Obviously with the Z the rear (and possibly side) visibility is limited if you mount it above the mirror.

I don't like it mounted above the 3-pod gauges, but I don't know where else in the Z it could possibly go.

Exactly like that!

Escort 9500!

As in the photo, I put my RD just above those three gauges using windshield mount with suction cups.

At first it was hard for me to get the exact spot of suction attached, but now I can do it rather easily. It is mounted in very stable condition if attached well.

If you put your RD near the rear-view mirror, it would be good for your RD to detect coming radar signals on its high position, but in the opposite it is pretty bad to get laser detection.

Usually LEOs would aim at your number plate and the threatening lasers (speed gun) emit by very narrow width/height.

Actually in most cases it will be too late for you to beat it when you get the alert unless you have additional laser defense kit installed, but anyway you'd better put your RD (Radar and Laser Detector) close to your number plate as possible if you want laser detection.

;)

* Be careful. In some states the laser defense kits are illegal.

V1 or stay on the porch.

Used to have Escort shifters as well. Didn't need them often, but they did me well.

Escort 8500 for me, hasn't steered me wrong in 8 years..........

I'm running a 9500ix but want to upgrade to the MAX 360 soon... The only reason for upgrade is the 9500ix's inability to deal with all the k-band trash from other cars. I guess I could just turn K band off though.. I've never seen a LEO use it.

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.

yep, my V1 was the same way... until i got the recent software version. it is nice. :D

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

wow uniden. i didnt know they were still around.. lol my first radar detector back in the late 80's was uniden.. :rofl2:

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.
