I've recently thought about purchasing a radar detector for the cops around my area. I'm thinking about this Cobra 9370 model.

What do you guys think? Anything else I might consider choosing?

You get what you pay for IMO. I love my Bel STI Driver. Got an amazing deal on it though.

I love the Passport 8500 that came with my truck. Haven't had a problem with it yet! However, it does retail for $280-$300.

Check out the Valentine 1.

Let me tell you last weekend I went to Dallas from little rock and my valantine one saved my a$$ so many times. They were hiding on on ramps and behind bridges and the V1 warned me everytime. I got mine on ebay used/new in the box from someone that got it and didnt want it. It was about 360$ but I am telling you worth every dime!

:suicide2: never mind, the link I deleted was for just the mounting bracket, that's why it was $32, :jester:

V1 or passport 9500ix.

I like the V1 cause it points... I have had them come up from behind also and the little arrow warned me! I had a friend with me that said all radar detectors are a rip off. After driving around for a day said thats the only one he would buy. lol

Slowing down is a much cheaper alternative.

Do these just alert you on the cops w/speed guns?

Yes, for both radar and laser.

 

[SICKS.OH]

a $30 detector will alert you....


give you enough warning.... that's a whole different ballgame.

Thanks guys, I'll check those out.

I got a $40 cobra that works just fine. Had it for 3 different vehicles, about 8 years old.

Don't be stupid, one mistake and you got yourself a $400 ticket that would have paid for a Radar.

 

[StealthSS]

I need one too.

Thank you, I knew someone would throw that comment in here.

But, if you get pulled over with a radar detector on the dash, instant ticket.

One, who puts it on their dash? Two, you take it down, no big deal. Three, you can install it so it can not be seen, external speaker/mute button an a sensor in the grill then just put the radar in the glovebox.

I've seen them installed/hardwired but I've never it hardwired that deep. That would be cool though :imo
