WTB Radar Detector
« on: April 21, 2009, 12:25:44 PM »
Anyone have a Radar Detector sitting around they are not using?   Not looking for top of the line, but not bottom of the line either.  Want one that I can hardwire into my '04 Z71.  If you have one, drop me a line!  Thanks!!!  :wbhrocks:

Sorry, I had to replace my whistler this year as the display decided to lose about half it's lights. I found a Cobra on ebay for about $90 that the same one at Best Buy was $180.

Look for an Escort Passport series. You should be able to pick one up fairly reasonably and they have been at the top of the ratings for years. I've got an old one I bought around 1985 that only has X & K bands on it. I try not to drive so fast that I need the detector any more.

What he said or an Escort 8500X50 or 9500.  Any other detector new or used under $300 is not going to help you.  By the time these lesser model's signal it is too late as the LEO has already clocked you.  Check out radardetector.net for a lot of info. on detectors.

We'll get her hooked up for you Brian.  It's a snap using the Invisicord and takes all of MAYBE 5 minutes to wire up to the mirror.
