[Official] What's the Best Radar Detector?

XwChriswX

Since the weather looks to be playing nice this weekend, I'll make sure to get out there and snap some.

Its all a matter of distance, visibility, angles, and placement. You'll get a Radar hit much further and easier than you'll get a laser hit.

Beltronix is actually owned by Escort and is their "lower price point" tier. However many of the same features are incorporated into both brands. The only main difference is in Escort models, they use Blue lettering, and in Beltronix, they use Red lettering.

Does the Beltronix have the GPS? That is my favorite feature.

Used to be mine too. It pointed out traffic cameras. But then the cameras got removed, and when I am on a freeway it alerts me to traffic cameras on roads below. You'd think the device could tell I was doing 80 and not 40 and just maybe I was on the freeway.

Yes, the STiR (high end Beltronics installed, comparable to the Escort 9500ci) does come with GPS. It is essentially a 9500ci with red LED board instead of blue. Wanna trade me for one??

Mine does that with me, if I am within 1500ft of any red light camera on the highway it will alert me. I just say thank you and keep driving.

I noticed several mentions about red light cameras...........I have PHOTOBLOCKER on my plates and I figured everybody did...........PhotoBlocker keeps your plates from being photographed........when an traffic camera takes a picture of your plates it uses a flash.........and the picture comes out with just a bright spot where you plates are because the coating that PHOTOBLOCKER PUTS on you plates is a reflective coating..........I have never had a ticket and I am in my 60's........have driven sports cars my whole live and I had the first Red 240 Z sold in Tennessee .........a 1970 ....240 Z

I have not heard a single story about this product working. Not sure if you have had a different experience.

You can easily see if you have it by pointing a phone camera at the plate. And you will get a ticket for it here in California.

However since I still have those new car paper ads for plates I guess I should run lights while I have a chnace.

It's not an installed unit though. That's what I have for the stealth look.
