Let's talk Radar detectors
I've got 3 sons and I've told them not to bring me any grandchildren home if they're boys!

I used a Bel for awhile. It worked out well on the interstate for me and was next to worthless in the city. I found that it worked marginally well if I didn't know the road. If I knew the road, and where to look, it would clue me in as to when the cops were running radar in their hiding spots.

V1 ftw. Been using it for 3+ years and it has saved me from countless tickets.
I even had a cop pull me over once and tell me that she radared me at 83mph and I looked her straight in the face and said "No you didn't, because I wasn't going 83mph". I was going a bit over 83 and the radar hadn't gone off, so I decided to take my chances and call her out. She returned and ended up just giving me a tint ticket.

V1, hardwired. I got tired of having to reach up to the windshield to turn mine off going through the gate to work, so there's a switch to the left of the center console. The detector itself is up on the windshield to the left of the mirror, the cord is run through the dash and inside the rubber on the windshield surround.

I've had a cheapo Cobra and now an Escort 8500. I've still gotten nailed. The Cobra seemed to go off all of the time so I ignored it...the one time I did get pulled over when I had it, the thing barely went off. The Escort is worlds better, but unfortunately the staties and even a lot of the small town cops here are running laser, hence my $230 ticket last week. :(

I have the Bell RX65 and it has saved my *** a few times, but on the freeway mainly.
Does anyone else have the problem of the lazer detector doing off constantly when in direct sunlight? I'd love this thing if it weren't for that.
Also, why does everyone mount them so high up, is there a huge advantage?
