i have a similar problem with my passport. the cord has a mute button on the plug, but it plugs in under the glove box, so i can't reach. :icon14:

i guess i could plug it in the console, but then it has to be open.

For those with a passport, the V1 is a bit more work (I have yet to do it) but you will probably have to buy the add on piece and tear it apart to fit.

You should be hardwiring it and not have any wires visible below the AS-1 line. Buying a V1 and using the curly cord is similar to buying a Ferrari and running Cooper tires on it (if they fit).

I have the Escort Redline that I just started using. I love it!

Redline has some sick range, but be careful with it vs. I/O. It has a slow reaction time.

I have a Beltronics RX65, awesome radar detector!

Waitaminnute, waitaminnute...

So you're saying that in the absence of red light cameras you intentionally run red lights? Mind posting up your commute route? I wanna stay far away, dude.

:icon18::icon18::icon18:

Depending on how the cams are set up, they can send you a ticket for coming to a dead stop past the white line. Or making a right on red without coming to a complete stop etc.

The big one is stopping past the whit line so you can see to make a right turn.

If they only write tickes for people who blow through red lights, they will probably go broke.

I went through an intersection in a nearby town once on yellow because it was wet/light was short/person on my arse, and SWEAR I saw a flash, so I googled the town and saw that there were red light cameras and a LOT of people complaining about BS tickets like you mentioned above. Since the fine for the ticket is $75 maximum (it cannot increase above this regardless of period of delinquency), and no warrant will be issued, and my DL address is not where I live anymore...I don't give a damn.

I know in Houston, before they were removed, we had a 3rd party human factor put into place for those reasons.
Right on red - thrown out
Stopping - thrown out

Basically it was because the lights were so sensitive to any movement and people complained so much we hired a firm to put in a human check. It worked and people stopped complaining.

To me, if you know your area fairly well and know where the cops like to hide, it's not necessary to have one. If you take long trips via the highway across the state, it can be quite beneficial; as it has saved my rear a few times!

Wrong.

I take the same way home every day. For the first time in a year of driving home this way at 0800, I saw a state trooper where there had been none before.

Cops may not all be shining examples of blazing intellect, but even a backassward hillbilly knows how to hunt a deer, and setting up to hunt motorists isn't much different. Sometimes you move the deer stand.

Yes, indeed. Remember, too, that catching speeders and such is one of their prime obeectives and many troopers, etc., put a great deal of thought and practice into it.

Judging by some of their hiding places and tactics I have seen you are very right.

Really? I was just reading how it was good with that...

The Redline's slow reaction time is pretty well-known.

Here is a great place to do some research: Radar Detector Jammer Forum

hmmnn, still not seeing that listed in those forums... either way, doesn't matter haha. I already have it...

:iagree:

A quick search yielded this rather scientific post:

Radar Detector Reaction Time Test - Escort Radar Forum

In short, every detector has a weak/strong point and they are all about the same if you average it all out (among high-end stuff, not whistler or RMR crap).

The V1 has arrows, though, and that tipped the scale for me. WHERE the cop is is definitely very valuable info.

I rock a V1 and would not use anything else. Here in NC (Raleigh) you are subject to get hit still w/xBand although KA seems to be the preferred method by Five-0 to bust you. I have used a few other and nothing works for me like the V1....hands down!!!

I rock an Escort Solo S2 Cordless, hasn't failed me yet.
K-Band
Ka-Band
X-Band
and Laser
In west texas Cops use Ka, sheriff K and motorcycle highway patrol radar.

Hi Guys new to this forum, bought myself a 2009 370z last november.... oh man!!!!! can this baby fly!!!!! I was wondering where can I get these radars... I live in Canada don't mine going to the state to get it....

Thanks in advance
Steve,

Whoa! Revival!

http://hyboria.xoth.net/img/mummy_rising.jpg

best buy sold them by the car audio equipment last i checked

Get the v1 it paid for its self the first 6mo I had it...just order it off their website Valentine One radar and laser detectors

escort redline for me!

V1 integrated into my HUD in the z06, kept it and putting it ib my 370z when it gets back from v1. It glitched out and randomly threw "E"s on me :/

Passport escort 9500ci
 

Passport escort 9500ci!!!!!!!!!!!!
This thing is incredible: 2 sensors mounted in the front and one mounted in the rear- The thing sends off all readings everynight and filters through the fakes (grocery stores etc). Picks up redlight cams, speed cams the whole 9 yards. Incredible even has an led that flashes so you can just mute it and still know that they are still around. Everything for mine was custom mounted and looks good no wires or anything sticking to the windshield.

Have pictures of all of it?

I have a Valentine1. Helped me out numerous times. Bout to get another one for cheap.. from a friend. I recommend this radar!

here a pic of mine its in the lower din.... currently traveling so youll have to wait on installed pics

I love my Passport 9500ix/blendmount/invisicord setup.

For those that want to do an integrated system, the approach I used on my 350Z may work for the 370Z:

I was having a hard time figuring out where to mount the display of my STi-R. I had already used some console space for my V1 remote display, and wanted the STi-R to have a similar "stealth" approach. (But the spaces on either side wouldn't work.

http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...L/P1020379.jpg

Then I realized that I no longer needed the volt meter because the STi-R had one built in. So...

(This is after I repainted my dash/installed new HU)

It's in plain sight, but I don't think it draws any attention and probably goes unnoticed when off.(parked)
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j.../P1060182k.jpg

I disabled the green side of the LED so it wouldn't light up my interior at night, and mounted the LED just below the display. (It's the little white dot below "VOLTS" in the pod. -Still blinks red when there is an alert)

Beltronics and Passport are the same company which is in Ontario Canada. You cant buy them here though since they are illegal. Just google the sti-r or undetectable radar and you will get to a Canadian website where you can buy the detectors but depending on where you live you might need a more expensive undetectable model.

Passport 9500ix is awesome i highly recommend it!! save my butt plenty of times!

Passport 9500iX, done deal

Had the car a month, put almost 3k miles on it and the V1 has saved me a few dozen times. Definitely reccomend the V1 and Valentine's customer service is excellent.

I have a K40 with a laser jammer. Everything is bluetooth with the sensors and the alert lights are custom installed into the dash. Nothing is visible, nice and clean. Oh and they will also fix your ticket for free.

:iagree:
