Radar detector

[gstahl]

I have both an ****** 9500ci and a Beltronics StiR. They are both great. The STiR is a bit cheaper without laser detector/jammer (and slightly more flexible otherwise the same), which helps if you do not need them or want a different laser solution. Would recommend either if you want a built in detector.

Has anyone had any experience with a k40 RL360i Radar Detector?

One of the guys that worked here until about a month ago had one. He said he didn't like it as well as the 9500ci. I didn't press as to why, because I was sold on the Redline already anyway.

While I agree, it can really help you out in speed trap areas where the MPH drop down and sometime you don't notice. Always nice to get a little alert and put the foot on the brake.

Even when that is your objective, we are all a very minor slip away from making a sizable donation to a very inefficient local bureaucracy.

The one speeding ticket I ever got was on a night driving home from college, when I actually set out to drive slow and save some gas money. No cruise control in that old police cruiser I was driving, and I was going faster than I intended when I passed the radar car.

And the tax collectors know exactly where you are likely to be going faster & position themselves accordingly.

Agreed...most are treasury agents....

pros and cons

I appreciate all the leads I am still researching all the pros and cons I'm liking the ****** Passport 9500ci w/ ****** Live for Android with laser shifter $1850 cost I'm wondering if the shifter is affective if anyone has experience with this feature pleas add replies I have read that is not very effective with large vehicles and it is pricey. but that's ok if it works good. Thanks everyone

Yay Fred!

You can wait until you are my age and decide that it's pointless to be in such a hurry to shave a few seconds or minutes off your commute, or you can listen to Fred and learn it earlier.

And a note concerning your auto insurance. Some insurance companies will refuse to renew your insurance without explanation if they learn that you own a radar or laser detector. Geico for certain, and there are others.

How do they learn that? They ask. When your insurance is up for renewal in a couple months they'll give you a friendly call. They'll ask you if you own a Citizens Band radio. You'll answer, and they don't care what your answer is. That question is simply to prime you to answer the next question - the one that counts. "Do you own a radar detector?" Answer yes and your business relationship with that insurance company is over.

there have not been any issues from the units i have installed. i did have a bad shifter once, but as far as effectiveness on larger vehicles, i havent had an issue in my truck. it has saved me quite a few times. the reason its less effective on larger vehicles is due to the size of the vehicle, it may be possible to be hit where the shifters cant cover. i havent had a problem like this yet, but it is possible. never an issue with the raptor though.
