Radar Detector

[Fintro11]

I have a friend with the V1 he likes it. I have tried both, the V1 is bigger but has the arrows. The escort is smaller and has free firmware updates. I went with the passport as it seems to be easier to keep updated.

Laser is hard. Your only option is a laser shifter ( jams the laser for a few sec) this gives you a little bit of time to slow down. A detector can detect laser off the cars in front of you giving you a little bit more time.

I have a few friends who are cops up here. They can only do laser when stationary and even then they do not always get perfect readings, some times they have to hit a car a few times to get a proper reading. Burst radar will get you but I find most cops leave their radar on all the time. I always give my friend a hard time, because my detector always goes off at Starbucks or Tim hortons.


If you buy a radar detector it will pay for itself.

I have always used the Escort/Passport brand. I ended up getting a great deal on my current Passport on CL. I thought about trying a V1, but i'm so used to the Passports noises i decided to stick with it. Honestly the best part is it can display your speed. Since it is already in my field of view, I almost never have to look at the gauges to know my actual speed.

HAHA I am sure there is a automatic door around there. Yes Laser and hand held radar has to be stationary. I they are legal in your state to get a jammer I would buy you a few seconds. I go through cars to fast to install a K40. I would like the sensors and hidden displays in the car.
