Could you put your radar detector here????

[Neriah06]

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone who knew about radar detectors or.anyone else could answer my question, i was thinking about mounting it over the guage bezel.....see picture, right on top so i can see over the steering wheel, will this block the reception? the antenna is on top and nothign is blocking it....but just want a second opinion, it is in the window now but it is too far to look at when driving (would like to keep eyes on road)

should work just fine

you usually dont have to look at a radar detector, they make distinct sounds for each frequency they pick up. after about a week of having mine (which got stolen 2 thanksgivings ago) i could tell the different alerts just by sound.

same here, i could just tell by the sounds, and i usually can just look over and see which radar its picking up.


what kind of radar you have mang?

[Neriah06]

whisler is junk man.

Id never waste my money on that shit. Buy the best or go home


Valentine One (which i have) ($400)
or the Escort Passport 8500 X50 (290)

As for your detector that will be fine. IF i did that with my valentine id get terrible rear detection. I am your radar detector master. Me and my friend did test's with just about all of them. And the v1 is worth the money. the escort is deff worth it it picks up about 3seconds later then the valentine 1.

that site is pure bs.

Im not flamming you or anything I just know alot about this. THeres also no such thing as radar jammers etc. They may claim it does but it doesnt.

Hope this helps Im me on aim if you need anything - Poo1side

my cheap $70 walmart whistler has saved me numerous times. and picks up way before i even see the cop, from far behind and around corners. best bang for the fuck for sure. i have mine mounted above my rear view mirror.,...it actually rests on the top of the rear view. im lowerd 3+ inches so it doesnt matter if i have mine that high mounted. cops if using a gun aim for your license plate.

sorry but site is not pure BS buddy, he rates valentine and escort at #1 adn #2 jsut like you said, and he states clearly THERE IS NO RADAR JAMMERS if you find one he will give you like 5 grand or soemthing i catn stand when ppl assume stuff, i didnt ask for you opinion on detectors did i? i asked if it was a good mounting spot, and yes mine has saved me about 3 guarenteed tickets and ive only had it for 3 months, so...im guessing i should just slow down lol but meh

[Maple50175]

yeah thats what i said. there are not such thing as jammers.

But anyways.. for your detector yes it's a good mounting spot since the v1 is the only detector good for 360 degree protection esp the rear.

my riends got the escort and the rear detector is horrible. Just trying to help you out.

Mount it anywhere you want. But it should be centerd in the middle of the windsheild. Cheers

why the hell do you have a valentine, its not like your going 160 anywhere. I would only buy a valentine if i had a bmw or a porsche or something, cause then you'd prolly going in excess of 100 and need the fast warning. Otherwise, whistler i think is fine, i have one and like others it picks up waayyy before the cop...you dont need top of the line to get the warning you need.

Won't the drivers body and anyone in the backseat block the signal from the rear? When I used my radar detector I ran and extension cord to the back window and mounted the radar detector in the back window. I was even thinking about taking the radar detector apart and mounting the sensors in the front of the car, the rear of the car and running wires back to the circuit board and mount the lights and speaker in the dash.

i wouldn't be too sure of saying that there aren't ANY radar jammers...the ones that people try to "commercialize" and sell on the market prolly don't work, but there are applications where police radar can be scrambled, and the output frequency can be foiled..
