RADAR Detectors!!

[Nick@Apollo-Optics]

I am using pin 1 (Blue with red stripe) and pin 4 (Black with gray stripe) on my 16 pin mirror connector. I bought the Invisicord with micro taps and the power tap on pin 1 was very tight, but the ground tap on pin 4 was much easier to install. I used a standard straight pin to the make the gap on pin 1 big enough to slide the micro tap in with a pair of needle nose pliers.

By the way, I have the Redline with the new BS/RDR software and it beats the 9500 ix by a long shot on all the distance tests because it uses the superior M3 dual-antennas. It also consistently beats the V1 in very tightly controlled tests.

I use Highway mode for the long roads in Texas and AutoNoX mode for driving around town. (AutoNoX turns off X-band and reduces most K-band falses from big-box-store door openers)

If you want the most distance in a windshield mounted RD, choose the Redline. Coupled with ****** Live, you get the best distance on the highway and the GPS control with Red Light Cameras, etc. for driving around town.

I agree with most of what you're saying...except ****** Live. ****** Live is a joke and is way too buggy to be useful.

In regards to the Redline with BSRDR vs. the V1 with V1C and custom sweeps, they are very close with the Redline edging out the V1C. But personally, I can't give up my arrows for situational awareness. And both detectors will probably be sensitive enough for a I/O save even if off-axis.

I did not buy ****** Live because of the bugs reported on the forums, but I hope they eventually get the issues worked out. For now, I am happy with the longer range of the Redline because most of my driving is on the highways in Texas. I agree the arrows would be nice, but so far that has not been too much of an issue with me. When I get a valid Ka signal, I slow down to 5 over the PSL until it goes away.

I drive back and forth to College Station from the Houston area on a regular basis during the school year.

Hmm---drive more hwy miles than most but no bugs on my ****** Live. Works like a charm..

I have had no issues (so far) with my 9500ci and ****** live.. Works great then add waze to it, damn near driving perfection..

Glad y'all are not having any problems with EL. I haven't run it personally, but from what I've read on RDF, there have been plenty of guys reporting major bugs with it and don't consider it to reliable.

Greg, I'm glad you mentioned running Waze. Waze and Trapster will prove to be very useful and will hopefully catch any and all potential bugs from EL.

I believe in redundancy..

So do a lot of the hardcore radar/guys. They'll have their built-in 9500ci or Beltronics STi-R Plus and then run a V1C with custom sweeps so they get super range as well as the directional arrows ha!

no issues so far here with ****** live as well. not a peep from our customers. i wonder if it is a location thing?

I think the helpdesk called it an ID 10T error... just sayin
