Radar Detector?
#4
ive just got a 12 band cobra, was like 100 bucks or somthin, works good, if the cops are setting on the side of the highway or setting somewhere just shooting radar. but theres not goin to be any radar detecter help to much if the cop just randomly sees you and shoots rader, your rader detector will go off but by then your already caught, if I were you id say get one to be extra safe, but after you get it dont act like your invincible cause you best detection against cops is still your eyes.

i have a cobra, detects radar and a bunch of different laser gins, like stated they work good whn the cop is sitting with the gun on, but if hes just randomley shooting ur screwd...i would just buy a cobra mine was like 150 and works well, spending 500 bucks on a passport seems outrageous, i mean u could buy headers for tht price lol... although im pretty good buddies with a state trooper out here and he tells me tht they can jam some radar detectors ...wheather he was lying idk, but i doubt he was ...hpe this helps!

i have the cheap old cobra detector... and it seems to do the same thing that the others do, just in not as fashionable of a way... but ive been warned about 2 miles before ive even seen a cop on the side of the road... but yeah the random shots will kill ya, no matter what brand or price of radar detector... lol or you could save your money for that next ticket that your car draws to you... cops love f bodies!

I have the escort passport 8500. Its about 350 bucks, but it works great. I got it for free actually, a buddy detailed a car and got the passport as payment. He already had one, so he gave it to me. I had a cobra before, and it doesn't even compare. If I had to guess I'd say the passport picks up radar in about twice the distance as the cobra.

I have the Passport 9500i very nice love it... picks up everything so far... no ticket in a long time . Love the speed showing on it also the poor mans hud is nice. Also nice to cancel out false signals and never hear them again. I would definatly recommend it over any of the other radar detectors... besides the custom install ones.

I actually had the same issue about 6 months ago and found this guy right down the road from me. These things are pricey but worth every penny. Ive bought one for the camaro one for the work car and one for my g/f's car. This guy acutally has a performance shop and does excellent work if your ever in the area.

the thing I like about my beltronics rx65 pro is that it has mute/volume button on the end of the power chord. I have recently upgraded it with a kit to hard wire it in, which includes a remote mute button I elec. taped under my shift ****, which is pretty friggin sweet.
