Radar/Laser Detector Recommendations
Have noticed myself speeding more in my new Maxima. Was looking into purchasing a radar detector but it's a little overwhelming of all the different products out there. Does anybody have any good recommendations for a radar detector between $100-300? Known manufactures to avoid would also be good to hear.

Yes, what's your budget.
If you are looking for a radar detector, then there are many choices. You can get the V1, escort 9500, escort redline or the STi.
If your area has laser, then get a laser jammer.
Keep up posted.

Well It appears to get a "good" detector you gotta spend at least $200-300. Ideally I wouldn't like to spend > $200, I saw some Cobra's at best buy from $50-165. Just didn't want to jump on the first one I saw before doing some research. From what I understand there are essentially 3 risks for getting caught speeding. Radar guns, Laser guns, and Speed traps ie red light cams etc. It appears most newer models pick up radar and laser guns but I was unclear if you need a separate laser jammer to actually avoid a quick shot from a cop. I'll take a look at the beletronics and valentine one...

Agreed..No radar dectector will give you ample warnings on Laser...you need a jammer for sure.
For Radar, Redline is KING, the Ka alerts are just unbelievable...but so is the price ($500!). Next would be the V1 or STI, The V1 falses a lot and the STI is stealth (if radars are illegal where you live).
If I only had $200 to spend, I'd go with the Whistler Pro 78SE.

Well some states they have Radar Detector Detectors and yes, it can detect that you are running a radar detector in your car. For those states in where one in your car is illegal.

Ever since I had my escort passport and Valentine 1, I've been ok. Now its time for a laser/Lidar jammer.
