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.

About wiring the radar to the car and not the lighter: any specific location?

I know I ask a bunch of stupid questions so bear with me. :giggle:

the big ass yellow wire attached to the steering column.

I'm definitely an old fart! :giggle:

Wtf are you talking about?

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 for me, saved my ass more times than I can recall. Once it died, I got fucked hard because I was so used to it and kept speeding, I am a slow turtle now.

Thanks! I know I am biased, but I think she gets prettier every day.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl: No, I don't want to see your schwarz?

I am going to say Beltronics STI if you are worried about spectre. If not go with the V1.

kotomile 06-05-2008 06:34 PM

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.

spaceballs is an old-ass 80's comedy.

From Mel Brooks; the same guy who made Blazing Saddles. All my sons loved Spaceballs but I'm partial to Blazing...

That guy knows about comedy.

v1 pwns in the laser test!

sucks it can be detected though.

messiahx 06-05-2008 10:30 PM

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. :(

speedf50 06-06-2008 01:13 AM

I have the Bell RX65 and it has saved my ass 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?
