[Official] What's the Best Radar Detector?

I rock a V1 and would not use anything else. Here in NC (Raleigh) you are subject to get hit still w/xBand although KA seems to be the preferred method

Default Passport escort 9500ci

Passport escort 9500ci!!!!!!!!!!!!
This thing is incredible: 2 sensors mounted in the front and one mounted in the rear- The thing sends off all readings everynight and filters through the fakes (grocery stores etc). Picks up redlight cams, speed cams the whole 9 yards. Incredible even has an led that flashes so you can just mute it and still know that they are still around. Everything for mine was custom mounted and looks good no wires or anything sticking to the windshield.

For those that want to do an integrated system, the approach I used on my 350Z may work for the 370Z:

I was having a hard time figuring out where to mount the display of my STi-R. I had already used some console space for my V1 remote display, and wanted the STi-R to have a similar "stealth" approach. (But the spaces on either side wouldn't work.



Then I realized that I no longer needed the volt meter because the STi-R had one built in. So...

(This is after I repainted my dash/installed new HU)

It's in plain sight, but I don't think it draws any attention and probably goes unnoticed when off.(parked)


I disabled the green side of the LED so it wouldn't light up my interior at night, and mounted the LED just below the display. (It's the little white dot below "VOLTS" in the pod. -Still blinks red when there is an alert)

Steve,
Beltronics and Passport are the same company which is in Ontario Canada. You cant buy them here though since they are illegal. Just google the sti-r or undetectable radar and you will get to a Canadian website where you can buy the detectors but depending on where you live you might need a more expensive undetectable model.
