Best radar detector under $150 |
It has saved me 6 times already in the past 3 weeks, 4 of those times were in the last week of august. They aren't kidding when they try to meet their quotas at the end of the month.
The distance that it warns you in seems to be kind of low though. Most alerts are between 200-300ft it seems, distances where it is a toss up whether you have a chance of not getting detected at your speed or not.
This is a good radar detector if you want to cruise -10mph over and want to do so safely without getting bothered by the LEO's. I wouldn't recommend going 15-25mph over though as your risk of getting caught imo would go up significantly.
All in all a great radar detector for the price and came with rev c. I have it mounted high on the windshield in the middle left by the rear view mirror.
Would recommend to anyone that doesn't want to spend a lot of money on aradar detector and wants something more upscale than a crappy cobra. |

Does not detect all laser; detects all others very well |
|
Radar detection is very good for the price. However, it does not detect all lasers, which is what got me (there was no signal). You need to pay the big bucks to get good laser detection. All other radar detection works very well with plenty of time to react. |

Whistler Radar detector |
|
We used this device on a long trek across the USA. It did not detect any legitimate threats. It sounded many false alarms when passing near road construction but missed real threats from police cars who had pulled cars over to the side. So, I don't really know how to rate it as it did not help us at all. Perhaps all detectors would do the same, but given this experience, I would not buy this device again |

great value |
|
This dectector is a great value, sensistivity is better than my escort I use in my other car, blue light provides good alert in both day and night time lighting conditions, warning tone is good too. Very good shipment turnaround by Americancivilwar and very competitive market price. Windshield mount works fine on my new corvette and the thin wire enables me to run a simple wire up the dash hugging and concealing the wire most of the way up the dash in a small seam in the dashboard. Recommend this as a best buy! Have taken some nice weekend trips with good alert response in both highway and local settings. |
