Any comment?

My Passport 9500 is loud enough to be heard with the top down, but top down and radio on loud is a different story.
Passport makes and auxiliary speaker that makes the detector super loud. I did not go that route I mounted a remote display near my tach and it is bright enough that is always gets my attention.
I would recommend the remote display for any detector you get. Or get one you can set up a second loud speaker.
It would be great if we could wire a detector into the "tel mute" feature on many radios. As soon as the detector picked something up the radio volume would decrease, think about it. The user would have the display the beeping and the car radio decreasing in volume.
