Radar Detector "install"

[Voodooo]

So if I want to buy the best radar detector, rear view mount and also a rear view mirror go-pro Hero4 black mount what should I get? Money not being an option. Does anyone offer a radar and go pro Hero 4 black mount that can have both used at the same time?

If price no option, I'd probably go with the Stinger, but thats really price not an option:

Here's a good test that shows where things ranked a couple months ago.

Holy crap. Forget that. I had no idea that a detector would cost $2400-$3000 plus. So what's the next best after the stinger? Redline?

I'm going to get the Radenso Pro SE. Seems to be the best window mount at the moment.

That's what I just read too. But I'm also looking for a mirror mount to also hold the gopro hero 4 black

It's not that easy to say "Best", kind of like asking which exhaust is best on here.

1. Redline (STI Magnum), great range, only choice if you're using it in a no radar detector location (Virginia) as its the only immune detector. If using it to get range, you need RDR off and segment the KA band to help lower falsing. It's still chatty and many will not like it due to this.

2. V1- Cult favorite, arrows are great, but range is passed by many newer models. If using need to upgrade to a model that can use V1 connection and get the YAV1 app, adds tons of features.

3 Radenso- New kid on the block, but very responsve to customer input and has been adding features and updating firmwear. I'm impressed with both ability to do GPS lockouts, and selective speed to range settings, mines set for all KA alerts, no X or k below 20 MPH, and slow ramp up to full range at 40 MPH. Downside, is they don't have the mounting accessories, and dimming is manual vs automatic on others.

4. Others- Max, still glitchy in my opinion, but still worth consideration Uniden LRD950 has impressive performance, and would be my recommendation at the lower price points. Other Escort models aren't bad either, and sometimes can be found at crazy low prices, 9500ix, X50 Black among others sometimes end up on an Amazon crazy deal.

V1 and Radenso I don't thing you'll find much for deals, Escort stuff has a minimum advertised price, but its like on this Forum, go to the RD forum and PM the dealers and often you'll find large discounts.

Ok how about best for $600 or less.

Guys and Gals

Radar and laser detectors are now becoming useless dinosaurs as many police departments are now starting implement photo speed enforcement on there patrol cars.

I personally will spend my hard earned moneys on something else.

Cheers

I did. Mirror tap for power and blend mount. It's the best.

Looks like your heading the way of Europe then, radar detectors are fairly useless in the UK. We have speed cameras everywhere, fixed, mobile & average. It's far easier to have a police van parked at the side of the road hidden behind the sign changing the speed limit from 40 to 30, than chasing someone down after radar detection.

I'm running a Radenso right now and really like it. I've got a Redline as my second choice, Max 2 in the wife's car, and a V1 (3.893) sitting in my basement as I prefer the others to it.

How is the Radenso with the latest firmware? Are the GPS lockouts working correctly now?

I've been running the 9500ix for years but feel it's time to upgrade finally.

I never had lockout issues, but I'm pretty rural (no lockouts at all in the 300 population town where I live), but I missed the firmware that was supposed to have the issues. Also I'm running the Pro and haven't upgraded to the SE yet, the additional range I believe also causes more falses than my pro.

That said the Radenso is different than the IX, it doesn't autolearn so you have to manually lock out falses. At first I wasn't sold on this, but after using it its not an issue. I only ran my IX on highway as I didn't want sensitivity reduced. With the Radenso I run it on Auto City as I trust it there much more. IIRC I have mine set so Auto City is no alert at 20 MPH or under, and full range if I'm going over 50 MPH. In that 20-50 speed KA remains full strength with X 50% reduced and K 20%. So I don't have to lock out a lot of locations, but do still have many locked.

I'm running TSR low that I think is better at blind spot system filtering than my Redline did, I still get some (Suburbans) issues, but not enough to warrant going to TSR high.

I really like the Radenso, only things that are large misses I would really like to see changed. I miss the auto brightness and I wish it used the V1/Escort RJ11 connector so I could switch around detectors easier.

I plan on getting one of the custom install units once they become available so I haven't upgrade to the SE version.
