I think jammers/detectors are much more trustworthy than just a detector. Like the one's from rockymountainradar.com . Plus a lot of companies have guarantees, if you aren't doing 40 or more over than they'll pay your ticket.

Radar jammers...are illegal IIRC
Laser jammers ARE NOT, laser is regulated by the dept of agriculture, and they dont care if you change/ modify signals, so a laser jammer is totally legal |
Rockymountain radar is a load of crap, they dont work, they make a decent detector, but they sure as hell dont change the radar at all, look online for this, they are a huge waste of money

Still got the old one? i might be willing to buy it if your looking to get rid of it, PM me the serial # and let me know if ur interested Thanks |
passport 8500 is the way to go, have never gotten a ticket and never been pulled over when using it has great range and also has vg-2 blocker so the cops cant figure if you have a radar
|
in california it is perfectly legal to have a radar detector and laser blocker, just dont go to virginia

upgradable how????? |
Valentine One FTW

I use to sell those at radioshack!
there alright, I have only had mien save me from a speed trap OUNCE on a highway, but I guess it paid for its self then? Anyone who is serous about these things gets a passport tho mine is more of an annoyance than anything, espically in the city (yes even when it’s on a city mode!) However they do give you that cool ricer street racer look! |
Great topic, but what da hell does this have to do with 4th gen Maximas????
This belongs in OT newb. |
I have a Bell RX65 Pro and have had luck with it. However, I have gotten tickets with it too. It won't help if they have there radar off till almost up on you and then turn it on. I have gotten it several times that way.
|
My radar detector is installed behind the grill for the radar part(wireless). The laser detector is behind the rear view mirror (wired) and the little output screen is right underneath the radio. it is super stealth with the black wire running down the pillar.

Escort Passport 8500. It's very helpful.
|
I got a 8500 x50. It's swell

Jae People who say they dont work fell victim to pulse radar. Police can pulse the radar just to tag you so it isnt giving off a constant signal and setting off detectors. Interstates/freeways are the place the detectors help the most because they can pick up signals from further away. My detector paid for itself the first time it alerted me.. no telling how many thousands of dollars its saved me over the last year. Yeah I get pulsed once in a while by a hiding speed trap or a oncoming police but more often than not my detector gives me enough time to slow down. |

Do not get a Cobra. You would be better off even with a budget Whistler detector such as the 30 dollar Whistler DE 1732. I used to ride with that detector and it has saved me quite a few times. Don't say I didn't warn you about Cobras though.

Notice the V1 in the windshield? While RD's help with detecting cops, they don't always save you from getting busted. I got this warning for doing 61 in a 40. As soon as my V1 beeped I stomped the brake, but the cop clocked me from around 200 yards away. Luckily the guy was really nice though. I'd say that the V1 has saved me many times, but the best safe guard is common sense and obeying the speed limit :D. |

i have the cobra 9930 and it works great or the 9950 cause it has the optional gps locator
|
Escort 9500i, or Valentine One are your best contenders. Escort now owns Beltronics, so they share the same electronics inside. www.guysoflidar.com is a great site to figure out which detector suits you best. The V1 comes out on top on almost every test.
|
Nothing beats the Valentine One in radar and laser detection in the under $500 radar detector category. Cobra makes some of the worst performing and falsing detectors in the world.

I have a Passport 8500 X50 (red) and have it mounted up by the rear view mirror with the wires concealed. It works great on Highways as well as locally and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for one. A friend of mine also owns one of the higher end Bel radar detectors and it also works very well for both highway and local driving.

I now ride with either a Whistler DE 1732 or a Whistler XTR-105. Both of them work great for me and have paid for themselves. I took them both into the speed trap known as Gulf Breeze and got a 10 second K/Ka band warning. More expensive radar detectors can give better warning but if I don't do 80 in a 45 I don't see why I should have something that expensive for protection againist radar. |
