radar detectors

[R-Audi]

The X band is the only thing that Canadian Cops don't use, but it is used in the states. Mine has saved me numerous times, and has saved me lots of cash. I have recently upgraded to the V1, so we'll see how it works.

On a related note, I have a FuzzBuster F5000 for sale, asking $175 obo. It is made by Escort. Check the classifieds. It will save you, as it has saved me. Well worth it if it saves you from one ticket. PM me for more details. X-band mute for all the city shit too.

so radar detectors alert you when theres a radar gun ahead..do they alert you about photo radar?



btw does anyone know where to get those license plate thingys that dont let the the photo radar get ur license plate?

yep they alert of photo radar as well (KA band i believe) and u don't have to spend money on a plate shield, i've heard that painting your license plate with clear nail polish works just as good.

I think you can get a ticket for having one of those plate covers.

Try looking up the info using an internet search engine... Some of these guys really dont know what their talking about... Anyways I'm running a Escort 8500 Radar Detector and I'm also running a Escort ZR3 Active Laser Jammer... I'm gonna tell you facts right now... You want a radar detector... Dont go cheap... I dont lie when I say I've taken a $99.00 Bel detector my dad bought me and threw the fucking thing out my door in Airdrie... Nothing but a bunch of FALSE annoying lights and beeps... You wont find a good detector for under $399.00... Escort is the best radar detector available in Canada, its $539 retail, talk them down to $499... Valintine is the best detector in the world... Is it worth it??? Some times..... Sometimes the warning comes in way too late and your caught... Fucked up... If your gonna buy a radar, buy the Escort 8500 Passport, or dont buy one at all... You wounder now about Laser jammers??? Do they work.... No not all the time, esp if their Passive... My Active ZR3 is 94% and is installed on both the inside and outside of your car... if you want real protection you'll need to run both, because your detector wont pick up shit unless theirs other cars around you being targeted... Jammer comes in as a back up... You wounder about cost..??? Well your looking at just over $1400 Canadian... Is it worth it... Probably not but I thought it was cool.... ; )
