Hey guys, I was wondering if you can give some recommendations of radar detectors that you guys have used personally. I was thinking of the Escort Passport 8500 X50 Radar Detector? But like i said i'm wanting your personally experience with radar dectectors

Thanks in advance

 

I have never used a radar and don't have one. Don't feel the need but I have heard good things about valentine one, the passport 8500 and 9500.

 

dont get the passport, my friend has it and he's got 2 tickets already with it. get the valentine.

 

I need one bad. I've gotten like 6 tickets and it's only mid year, half for speeding. I have to go before the judge tomorrow for another ticket, so i'm trying to take the offensive with the radar detector

 

...your friend is an idiot then who is over confident in his radar detector, they are an aid not a fail-safe

 

got the escort and works good for me...make sure u read the manual before setting it up...helps alot with false signals

 

lol that is very true. 96 in a 65 and 88 in a 70.

 

Good point. Def take a gander at the manual.

 

Try slowing down...

Anyways, the Passport 8500 x50 is awesome for the price (under $250), but if you can afford to go ***** out $400+ then the 9500i, Valentine V1 or Belltronics STI Driver are all admirable choices. Personally I'd go with the 9500i though, the GPS marking and speed sensitivity is an AWESOME feature.

 

Holy cow. Did he get jail time? In some places 30 over is immediate arrest.

 

So you guy's see my dilema i dont need a gurantee one, just something that can help, the cops are starting to know me on a first name basis

 

i have a barely used Passport 8500 blue display, $170 and its yours. no defects at all, pm me if interested

 

lol nope. it helps when your dad is a millionaire and knows all the judges in the county. he got the tickets reduced to no points, just fines. lol he got pulled over by the same cop twice two days after he got a new g8.

 

I try to slow down, but i cant help it, I have 2 fast cars and a bike. LOL going slow just doesnt work for me HA AHA HA

 

I got the passport 9500i and it is amazing! Great response to all bands. You can store false alarms and you can mark places that you know the police sit. It has GPS and it even tells you the speed you are going! If you can afford it go with it! I had the 8500 first and this is hella better!

 

I personally say the 9500i if you can spend the $400

 

i personally like the SlowDown radar detector. it works the best

 

I would get the valentine 1... I want one but to bad it's $400 for it

"Sir, My name is Deuce
I'm going to download AIM right now and PM you about that cuzi need it

 

see i just like to go the speed limit and save the $400 and work my ass off to get a ss/tc.

 

My car is alrady SC and that's what getting me in trouble

 

just slow down and set the cruise control. thats what i do. 0 tickets (knock on wood) and im 18. ive had the car since i got my liscense.

 

Awesome advice right there!

 

it works 100%.

 

yeah im 21 and have no tickets. i drive like a grandma
