Built in Radar. Anyone tried?

[toofun]

I used to have the radar detectors in front and back of a truck I had. The kind that were on the license plates as well. I did not use the led lights though, instead I had them hook them up to my seat belt light for the front and the park brake light for the rear. This way I did not have any tell tale signs of a radar detector in my car. At least back then that was the best system as far as hidden goes.. Today I am sure they have alot better systems out there.

BTW... I also mounted TWO old style factory air horns under the dash that would trip 7 SECONDS AFTER the car alarm went off!! God help anyone at that time who set off that car alarm and was in the car!!! Instant hearing loss!!! he he he.. they would lock YOU up for that crap today but screw it!!

I installed both escort SRX, SR7 systems as well the k40's. Both unit are great, nothing but good reviews. The escort install is a little faster, almost all plus and play. Of the 40 plus systems I've done not one complaint.

IMO all top line Escorts are great, Valentine 1 amazing. The Rocky Mountain is a POS.

Escort has come out with a new built-in system that seems to be getting a lot of buzz. They are taking pre-orders right now supposed to ship this month. I am going to have one installed in my Z06.

When I worked at Car tunes we did a couple of remote mount radar detectors, we even took apart the remote units and made them completely stealth. For mounting the radar units. inside taillights turn signals are some of the mounting spots I have used.
just remember anything is possible.

I've seen shops that have done custom installs on the Valentine1 detector where they mount it in the rear view mirror, and the arrows show through once they detect something.

The new escort system looks intriguing, especially if in incorporates a laser jammer system. Laser jammers will definitely be on the next project..... So far I was going to go with the Laser Pro Park out of the UK - doubles as a parking distance device, so in areas where a jammer is illegal you can show that it is a parallel parking warning system!

CB is also going in the next car.......

There have been a lot of bad reviews that the rocky mountain radar passive jamming doesn't work. www.radarbusters.com

One that kept me from buying is on RMR's site FAQ- why doesn't it work on the roadside signs that show your speed, they claim a different band is used, but it is not, just plain old K band.

It looks like active scrambers are the way to go for radar, but illegal in most cases.

laser jammers = legal in most states

radar jammers = illegal and a federal offence (not approved by FCC)

RMR = POS

are you kidding me? are there that many idiots that think they can avoid speeding tickets by buying crap that they've created an industry of it? NOTICE MY CAPS: IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEED, DON'T DO IT. i do 100+ on I-80 in an 'arrest me red' corvette on a weekday basis and have never been pulled over. you think you're smarter than the local authorities? c'mon!!!!!

We do alot with the K-40 and everyone seams to love them. The new units are blue tooth so simple to install and they work perfect and if you pay attention they will save you everytime.

I have the Passport SR7 plus. Love it

Agreed. My V1 flat out works. Saved me many times.

And on my road trip from Phx to SF when I drove my 996 home, my Rocky Mtn jammer I borrowed worked on several occasions, including a 175mph burst from Phx to LA.

Guccieng - are you serious with those comments? Hmmm....

To the guy who said laser jammers are illegal in most states, WRONG. They are illegal in only three states-says it on almost every radar detector manufacturers website. (Regular radar jammers-X, K, KA-completely different story and good luck finding one in the states anyway.)

Now, that being said, we have sold and installed products from Valentine (years ago), Blinder (still do), and most recently-we have become a Bel Tronics Pro authorized dealer. I have to say, the RX75 Pro are the nicest, most reliable, best working units we have ever worked with. They have the twin front jammers, one rear jammer, and one front regular K, KA, X band detector. The display unit is small enough to be frenched into the dash, or mounted on its own.

We have installed it in everything from Porsches to Benzes to Motorcycles, to Pickups. I have a very loyal customer who owns a wheel repair company and services rim shops and car dealerships. He speeds EVERYWHERE. He called me a few months ago with his 5th ticket this year. His lawyer said he would loose his business if he got another one. We installed this unit and in 6 months, he hasn't gotten one ticket. He doesn't even slow down when he sees radar traps (very brazen guy).

I am not sure why you got the pricing you did but we sell and install these for well less than $1000 (charged a little more on a Lamborgini Murcielago (sp.?) but that was a bunch of custom crap and bracketry). This is the top of the line as far as detectors/jammers go!

Hind sight is always 20/20... But had I (or my parents, back when I was a teen) bought one of these high-end detectors, I could have about $15k in the bank, and probably not have lost my license 4 times over the past 8 years :roll:

K-40 is the only way to go saved me over a dozen time each way on our way to Columbus and saved me three times on the way to SEMA and two times on the way back with out it I would have had a ticket everytime.

I have the K-40 with laser and its simple easy to use and works awesome. Everyone likes to talk about what is good but I have put this one to the test with over 12000 miles in 5 months and it has saved me on every one.
