This product is as advertised. It is easy to install, and gives clear warnings. I recommend it.

The radar detector is very sensitive, going off in places my old Escort never went off. The biggest problem I have is the sound. You can only change the volume in preset increments. The lowest one is still to loud. The next choice below that is no sound. Not a good feature.
Very good quality! September 2, 2008

I purchased this for my 18 yr old son. We have found that on the curvy roads, the detector will alert us of HP and Sheriff Radars well in advance of seeing the cursers. On straight roads, it signaled more that a mile away. As far a laser of instant on, I do not know at this time. So far, I am very pleased.
Way better than a Cobra August 24, 2008

I drive on a daily basis around 20-30 miles a day round trip from work to getting lunch out to back home. Unfortunately for me I go through a good 3-4 small cities and towns where the cops have nothing to do but run radar all day and hand out tickets like they're prizes. Nothing but 35 mph almost the whole way.
One area where I particularly love this detector is in the hills and curves. One of the areas I drive is all along lakes and is nothing but 2 lane roads. The other day I had a KA POP at about 7 strength hit at a good 1-2 miles from where the cop was in the hills and curves along the lake. About 3/4 of a mile later a KA band at 8 strength, and finally about 1/4 of a mile from the radar gun another KA POP at 9 strength. Sure enough, cop running radar at oncoming traffic. Proved itself well again the next day when there were 2 of them running radar again while another had a Corvette pulled.
Through my daily route I've basically figured out where falses are. I've already killed X band since there's no point in running it unless you want to find automatic doors. I guess some security systems run K band and a few cop cars still run K band, so I've adjusted to knowing where all the K band falses are coming from stores.
So far this thing has made some good saves along my daily route to work. picks up Ka band easily. The Ka POP works excellently and has saved me quite a few times. Its Highway mode as well works pretty good and grabs cops at a good few miles range.
Overall I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't feel like spending $500 towards a detector and that doesn't go 30 over on a daily basis. My lead foot usually gets me 10-15 over in some areas, so this was definitely a good investment. Already paid for itself.
