Other cars, not your own.
If yours was being set off while completely alone, there might have been problems with it or was it a cheap unit?

I don't consider it a Laser Detector anymore than it is a Laser Informer. :icon17:



Even with the shifter, it's tricky. You need to know if laser "jamming" is legal or not in your area. If it is, then you get lased, jam it the first time. That's your freebie, your azz better slow down before he tries again. And you need to have the shifters off so he thinks it was just a gun malfunction or errant reading.

If it's Not legal in your area, he could bust you for the jamming, and forego the speeding charge altogether.

This is the one thing I hate about VA (ban on use). I'm stuck with having to drive around with a tinfoil hat on so I can know when the cops are running detectors.

Only critique I could think of is that placement would make Rear visibility hard for it... But that's a good clean spot for it. :tup:

One of the best for the money is the Beltronix RX65. Doesn't have the arrows like the V1 but has better range. Range is slightly less than the 9500 but for $200 less you can't beat it. Plus at a certain point, more range doesn't benefit you.

I've picked up a cop 6+ miles away... plenty of time to slow down.

We thought about trying to stuff it down behind the gauges, but with the vents it was to difficult. I'm sure there are better ways but that's how I decided to do it. I used 3M tape under it so it isn't going anywhere. It works amazingly well even for how low it sits.
