I went with the Radenso radar with ALP last Jammers, completely stealth. I love it. Got pay 2 officers shooting last the other day already...

Have always used Valentine 1 for the last 12 years or so, but the V1 went crazy in the M5, i guess from all the laser. So just switched to the Escort Max 360c, so far so good.

Uniden R3 - not stealth - windshield mounted

TheRealBob · 09-06-2018, 05:59 AM

Uniden R3 mounted on the visor.

V1 all the way for me, since they came out. J, you only needed to put black electrical tape over the gesture control laser, in order to silence it. Unless you insist on using the gesture.

Ohhhhh, wow thanks! Where can i find the opening for gesture control? I assuned all the false alerts were coming from outside the car, ie the safety and Collison system.

It's right in-between the two dome lights above your head.

Passport 9500 in mirror and behind cup holders. If you switch it off and close the drink tray you can not see the install.

daddymalu · 09-06-2018, 01:07 PM

I guess your not using your wireless charging tray....

If you don't care for gesture control, (i don't), I put a small piece of black electrical tape over the gesture control emitter, and V1 is back to normal.

I think the wireless charger is one of the nicer convenience features. It may be slow but it is so easy to drop it off on the mat and get a little extra charge. Especially for shorter trips, I don't have to fiddle with cords.

As for the radar install, it looks nice and clean. Is that detection only or does it have jamming too?

drjolokia · 09-06-2018, 02:59 PM

Sorry for being OT, but this is all I can think of when I see this thread 😎

Demon Barber · 09-06-2018, 03:18 PM

ALP front and rear, using their radar detector as well, all custom installed, completely stealth.

You mind sharing what your all-in price was for that setup?

Demon Barber · 09-06-2018, 05:02 PM

About 4000

Can you PM me details on this setup, I want to get something really good.
Thank you.

Fegelein · 09-06-2018, 05:14 PM

Since I lease the car, on the fence about building in a radar. However, If I do, you can't beat the V1. It's all about the arrows, which points to the "bogies" and counter to tell you number of them. Most radars just alert you to a signal, V1 tells you where it's coming from and how many. It has saved my ass many a time, especially when you are being stalked behind, from a "Smokey" in motion.
