I don't live in your neighboorhood Sean but if you have a good car radio shop in your area that should be an easy job for them.

awesome thanks! so.. just buy a radar and they can do that?

 

my friend has one in his bmw..it looks like an alarm light except theres three bubbles

 

It can be done but wont be cheap

 

Go with valentine v1, you can stealth install it and have a remote display.

 

Okay I see some great ideas! but..... how much will this cost me? As in buying a new radar and getting it stealth install or whatever it is lol.

 

My set up. Did it with a buddy. No more then 15 min

 

Valentine 1 for sure, my friend's G37 has the unit on his windshield and has the the power wired to the rear view mirror. Good look and functional.

 

Buddy of mind has a LX470 with the radar built in. There's just a few flashing lights, maybe a **** or two mounted kind of below the dash on the drivers side. It's probably a V1 or something, I've never payed that much attention to it though. I think the Lexus dealership did it for him when he bought the car.

 

Yes you can both the bell sti driver and the escort 9500ci are grill mounted antennas with a receiver unit inside the car

Here is a picture of the 9500ci the bottom two things are the laser jammers you can get with it but the top row you can see the actual radar unit.

In this thread you can see it actually installed in the grill along with a pair of laser jammers

 

Depending on how much you want to spend there are a few custom radar detectors on the market.

I have the Escort 9500CI in my car and it's hands down the best detector on the market, but it's probably also the most expensive.

 

$1600 for a radar detector... You probably either have to have money you don't know what to do with, or got a few too many speeding tickets to justify spending that much on a radar detector... Holy *****

 

Though they are very cool setups if you have the money to do so.

Me, I have a wife and if I spend that much on a radar detector that means I get to spend that much on a new piece of leather that she carries on her arm with little "LV" logos all over the place.

 

Mike do you have yours hidden or stealth? I am gonna have to check that out next meet we have. I didnt really get to check out anybody cars when we went to HIN we were running a little late.
