Which radar detector

[socalisolara]

i am looking into purchasing a radar detector; which one do you guys recommend? cobra? v1? passport?

[thealkimo]

the passport is a solid purchase...

won best detector in many auto mags...

[Fletch]

Passport 8500 (older model, probably newer one now) or Valentine One.

My buddy hardwired a passport to his GTI and it's saved him several times.

I have the passport 8500 and it has saved me many times

I have Beltronics 985, and it works good.
Cobra sucks anyway.
The only good one are Passport, Beltronics, and Valentine radar detectors.
My bro has had the Bel 985 in his car lately, and he said he even picked up and under cover cop [here in OKC we have unmarked cop cars].
Ours picks up pretty far too.
Sometimes the Bel 985 will go off on "K" and "Ka" band, and we look around and see nothin', no cops around then we will finally see him along ways from us, when we pass him, or he passes us.

^^ I love my BEL's - i have 4!!, my only prob w. them is the speakers gives in easily (but its only a 3 dollar part at radioshac and saudering gun to fix it!). If i get more tickets then i will get v1, but till then i'm safe!

ive had the passport for 2yrs and have only gotten pulled over once. and thats cuz i had the music up so loud and i couldnt hear the radar. that would be your best bet. get the passport. theyre a lil pricey, but well worth it. thats just my .02

I got a K40 back in the day and it does its job just fine for me.

Dunno how great it is but I'm satisfied with it........

I recommend the "Justdontspeedexcessively" brand

[udonoogen]

if i ever got a detector id want one that cops couldnt see outright ... those remote ones. that costs near $2000 with install though for a good one.

[ICrazyChrisI]

v1

[Too Bzy]

v1

What he said.


Nothing but Valentine 1.
