I bought a 12 band Cobra XRS9530 Radar Detector and I was wondering if anyone had experience with this sort of system. It costs $140 but i was able to get it for $30 bucks (brand new in the package).

Soooo whatcha think, the whole process of ripping out the Apillar and the plastic in the passenger foot area to rig the wire wasn't all that fun but simple enough for me to do it without instructions.













(didnt get around to putting back on the outlet yet but did a little wiring of my own to extend the cable and make the combination easier.

 

Looks good!

 

you didn't need to rip out anything. i just pushed the wire in. i have my v1 cord ghetto rigged right now goin across the driver side to then back across the dash to the cig lighter untill i get a chance to hardwire.

 

how did u get it so cheap?

 

THANKS




cousin works at a pawn shop, its brand new (obviously stolen) but w/e he jumped on it and sold it to me for what they paid the guy.

 

i was really looking for opinions on the detector itself and if its effective, dont really have the cash to get a V1 or belltronics at the moment.

 

Depends where you live and what kind of laser, radar your local law enforcement uses. I think a company annually does a radar/laser detector test and review. The Valentine and Passport consistently outperforms all the others by a landslide (which is reflected in their respective pricing).
