Radar Detector
Forums › General Discussion › Radar Detector-
So I just got a sweet escort and was just looking for some info help. So where's the optimal placement? Is hardwiring it worth the money? Any other tips/tricks?
Still not sure if its worth the money and would probably lead to an automatic ticket if cop knows its there. But since my foot has no problem with which pedal does what, it might just save me. Thanks for the help.

I know loads of people that have them mounted into the grill of their vehicles and when the cop tags them with it it comes up as all 0000000

👆 Aha but with what I said, they can never catch you speeding. And as for what chips said, he's right.Just buy a slow car. Problem solved. Lol

Mounting it near the rear view mirror is the best place, and yea when a cop pulls u over and sees it, it's almost garaunteed ur gettin a ticket, but I have learned (don't ask) that if u do get a ticket it is always best to pay a lawyer especially if u have to keep a good driving record for work
-
Mount it as high as possible, between rear view mirror and sunvisor, its almost unnoticable + hide the wire between windshield and ceiling, then to A pillar, thus it will attract less attention 👍

So With the way these things work is it worth the money? The only way this detector is gonna tell you a cop is around is if the radar from the cop is already lookin in that direction. So by that time aren't you already caught? The reason I don't wanna get one is cuz if I did I would trust it with my life and just fly absolutely everywhere unless that thing is beeping lol

I've saved quite a few $$$$ ... It works, but if you have some traffic ahead of you. But if you are "in a first row", you will get caught... Also this radar detector beeps on most speed cams, as well as automated doors on petrol stations/shops/supermarkets etc lol :)So With the way these things work is it worth the money?

As long as you're running the right kind they're very effective. I run the escort 9500. Expensive but has saved me thousands of dollars. On top of alerting me to a cops radar from half a mile to a mile away it also downloads from your computer known speed traps and red light cameras and alerts you using GPS when you're coming up on one. Running this with the iapp Waze that let's you mark where you see a cop so that everyone using the app can see and there's almost no possibility to ever get a speeding ticket again.So With the way these things work is it worth the money?

Hookers? Where?

Good to hear! I have the same thing (except the non GPS version, 8500). In the time I've had it, it is catching everything. Even the motion sensors on the sliding doors of whatever business. And while annoying... The thing is sensitive enough to let me know of law enforcement before I can see them. Starting to love this thing!

Smack dab middle of my windshield when I use it. But since we moved I live 10 minutes from work and its impossible to speed because of all the old people going 10 under the speed limit. So most of the time I just mount it in my glove box lol.Funky Buffalo wrote:

I use lidar so I don't worry about radar detectors! I like to get next to people with detectors and flip on my radar. They freak out and start looking around. It's great having a low visibility Tahoe. Nobody looks for it.

It's the State boys that just sit there shooting on the side of the Highway. Too easy for the detector to pick up. 🚔... 😏

Same thing with plate blockers. They are easily spotted with the naked eye, so have fun with that.
My job isn't to be an asshole, but to keep people safe. Quit being jackasses and do the right thing.
Remember the whole swine flu scare? More people die in auto accidents in a week, than in any 30 day period of when swine flu was at its peak.
It's sad when people think that they have to "beat the cops" at the risk of their own lives.
