Radar Detector

passport SOLO S2(cordless option) its another great set of eyes!!

i second the solo, i have one. nice unit.

but i think there is better out there. valentine, calibre maybe.

i had the solo before i got the car and didn't upgrade

it has saved me many times over

9500i or 9500ix are awesome units. As soon as i hear it, i start tapping the downshift paddle!

V1 and Blinder Laser Jammers

I have a weird question, b/c honestly I NEVER had a Radar detector for all the years I driven..What does it exactly do?

This is a serious question..

been using 9500ix for about 6 months and it saved me many many times from getting a ticket.

Honestly a Radar detector can only save u so much as it doesn't detect when the cop's radar device isn't on and u could be doing 100 past him and then your screwed. Radar Detectors only works if the cop has his radar device on. A how a Radar Detector works is it picks up radio frequencies from the cop's radar device to detect your speed and your Radar detector will go off to let u know there is a cop around and that's when u know to slow down. It also detects laser but if you get laser detection that means a cop is pointing a laser radar gun right at u and at this point it's pretty much too late to slow down.

Unless you have jammers

Both SOLO 1&2 are not very sensitive. I have had one of each. I would suggest the 8500 or 9500. Look at the following web site before you make your decision.

M27. Ya only need 2 jammers for the front. The m47 is for larger vehicles such as trucks... they come with 4..

I'd go with the V1... arrows are great!

Im also looking into getting a radar detector. I am basically down to 2 detectors at this point, either the passport escort 9500ix and the valentine1. Heres my conclusion, from doing some research, I realized the valentine unit is a bit better in strength however, I am leaning more towards the 9500ix for one main reason... The 9500ix has the red light camera and the speeding camera detector whereas the valentine one is clueless with the cameras.... I live in Philly and there is an increase in the usage of red light cameras so the escort is very useful... what do you guys think?

Also let say State Trooper or cop does eventually pulls me over for unreadable speed reading than what? When he ask if I have a radar jammer? Yes or No?
B/c I can't lie to the officer and yet I don't want to tell him..

I don't know the laws in MD, but I'm not sure they can pull you over for "unreadable" speed. They can of course pull you over anyway for a bunch of other "reasons". However, the most important thing is, are radar detectors or laser jammers illegal in your state? If they are not, then there is no reason to lie about having them.

Valentine 1
