Radar Detector....Help
Looking to get the latest in radar detection.....

What's the best detector on the market?

Any good tips on setting one up in a G35 permanently. (i.e best splice in location)

use Search - it's your friend.

many people hard-wired Valentine radar detectors - there are lots of logs and threads with pics.

i myself have Passport 8500 and love it.

I have a hardwired escort 8500 x50 (red), using Mike's mirror mount from my350z.com.

I (among others) recommend hardwiring your radar detector (hint: use search function on this site and my350z.com), cause it keeps the driving compartment clean of ugly and bothersome power cords.

I am very happy with the 8500 x50...

Though fairly pricy, the Valentine One is the best on the market. Enjoy.

The V1 typically wins head-to-head tests against all others, so that's why I went with it.

It's saved my a** more times than I can count, so I'm a believer in Valentine One for life.

my $.02

You might also look at the Bel RX65. It is highly rated and functionally equivalent to the Escort 8500 x50 and similarly priced.

V1, by far the best and it never becomes obsolete...
