Radar/Laser Detector advice - Acura Forum

bugklop · 08-12-07, 07:38 PM

Hey guys,

Just got a certified preowned Acura TSX 2005 not too long ago and loving it. The car is nice and fast.

I am looking into the option of getting a Radar/Laser Detector of some sort to avoid speeding tickets and stuff like that (I drive to Vegas and back often enough). I was wondering if you guys can give me any advice of what to get and why? I am willing to spend some money on a good latest technology detector.

Some of the brands I was looking at are Beltronics, Cobra Electronics, Escort Inc., PNI Corporation, Rocky Mountain Radar, Uniden America Corp., and Whistler. Which are the best ones?

Please give me some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

The Bel and Escort are probably your best choices.

Rocky Mountain Radar is complete garbage. They make claims that their detectors also jam radar/laser, but don't do JACK in that category. The detection capabilities are also very poor.

I'd go with an Escort 8500 x50 or a bel vector 985.

I've had my V1 for about 3 years now and love it.
