It's probably the Calibre Undetectable (K40)
-bluetooth wireless to hidden sensors.

Many companies make a custom install radar detectors. They run about $1000 to $2000 for the unit and installation. Here are some by escort http://www.escortradar.com/sr7plus.htm

My Boss has a Lexus 460. Westside Lexus installed a radar detector for $1000 built in. Does front and back and side with in gauge cluster alerts. Very Nice

Well, sounds like it's a dealer installed option. So I guess, if my wife and I end up getting her a coupe, we're gonna have to get this done via an aftermarket kit...

Radar detectors are only illegal in Virgina. Laser jammers are illegal in in the states of Nebraska, Minnesota, Utah, California, Oklahoma, Virginia, Colorado, Illinois and Washington DC.

For all of you that are interested in the integrated radar detectors: Be aware that because of where most of the detectors mount the sensors (front bumber, back license plate), you don't pick up the radar nearly as quickly as you would with a regular detector. Because they are so low, when a cop radars or lasers the guy in front of you, you don't pick up the refracted signal off of his car. I myself am an advocate and owner of the Valentine1, which works great.

Installation of integrated radar detectors is done mainly at high end car dealerships as a premium option. It's not administrated by the car companies (Infiniti, Lexus, Porche, etc.), it's administrated by the individual dealerships.

I 2nd that. Except that I'm a Bel/Escort advocate (but we wont get into that pi$$ing contest ). You'll get better reception since the detector is mounted higher. Even if you don't believe this, the cost to effectiveness ratio is much better with a higher end windshield mount detector than the integrated detectors. I used to have a Honda S2000 and can even notice an increase in reception with the G sitting up just a little higher.

I'm personally running a Beltronics STi and would highly recommend this.

Another cool detector that Escort just came out with is the Escort 9500i. It has GPS integration to mark falses and known POI's. Although, I haven't read any reviews yet on it.

Here are some pics of my K40 radar detector and Laser diffuser that I got off of ebay for $150.00 and installed it myself. The Main brain is installed on the bumper back behind the grill and the laser diffuser is installed to point right through the grill. The wiring was run through the engine bay and through the grommet into the cabin and wired into the fuse box.
