Default This is really cool

Since Illinois just passed the ban on suction cup mounts on windshield, this would be an easy way to have a radar detector. All w/o having to tear apart and extend the wires in an existing radar detector. Just thought I would share.

Me too. That's a pretty small price for a lot of stuff. Although, I've owned Bel, Escort, Cobra before Uniden bought them, and a Uniden. The Cobra that I bought new for $69 was the best. It would pick up radar more than a couiple of miles and rarely picked up on non radar signals.
Somebody broke in to my vehicle and stole several grand worth test equipment and my Cobra. The company replaced eveything except for the radar detector. Man was I PO'd when I could locate the same unit.

Whistler is supposed to be a decent brand, from the reviews I have read so far, it seems that its a lot like the passport escort series radar. So if that is true, it is pretty good.

I like the passport escort series radar. Have had 2. I wonder how this thing mounts. Id personally like to see it mounted before i purchase one.

Best buy sends out a email anytime a new law is passed that may affect sales. I recieved an email from corporate that stated after jan 1st of 2008, you cannot have anything mounted on your windshield other than rearview mirror in the state of Illinois I don't think they are enforcing it, kind of like that no driving in the left lane on the interstate other than for passing cars law.

I had a whistler remote mount in my truck, and it was ok, but the bel that is in my gp is by far a better unit and was about the same price. I have only run remote mounts for 10 years now
