Radar Detectors

[fraiolib]

Ive got a radar detector And i dont like having the cord danglin down to my cigarette lighter. I have the hard wire cord from beltronics. But has anyone seen the power cords that plug into your miror? They make them for vettes and just about any other vehicle w any power to their rear view mirror but they dont list the silverados. Does anyone know anything about these cords or have one?

what is considered late model

[Willshire]

i found one up in my headliner on an old grandprix i had. if you are lucky gm installed this harness in case you ordered the autodim mirror or compass mirror so, it may be up there

im not sure about all your abreviations. RD RM? and i have onstar and the big plug going to my mirror which is the same as the vette. my friend has an 08 c6 and he wants to do the same thing with his radar.

and after i posted this thread i realized that with that invisicord i have to hit the button on the radar detector to mute it since the detector is under the mirror and hard for me to get to while driving thats kinda a PITA

[fraiolib]

so RD must be radar detector. my detector has POP so it does pick up laser, if their shootin laser on the highway and theyre getting cars infront of me it lets me know, but ya if im the only one there and the shoot me im SOL but u just gotta be smart

I used it in my Impala and it worked great and was easy to install.

Quite often the Colorado State Patrol will bring out their latest and greatest in speed monitoring equipment and test it with the various vendors for detectors/radar/laser alert equipment. From what I've heard there yas yet to be a device produced that could jam or alert a person in a fast enough time that the gun was not able to get a lock on while still at an illegal speed, be it 5MPH over, or 10 MPH over. Fact is, by the time your detector goes off it's already too late.

Attend a local event & see how stuff works. CSP always try to push the BS limit to keep the jammers & detectors off the road. It makes their job easier if not one is prepared for the tax man over the next overpass.

 

Here is my Silverado/Blinder laser jammer set up vs a prolaser 3 & stalker LZ1 laser gun. No jammers on the back end. Jammers on the front end ready to shoot back at the local LEOs. What you are seeing is jam to gun but should never be done in real life. You just slow down about 20-30 MPH & turn the jammer off, giving the officer a posted speed limit speed reading. He goes to the next car & you keep driving.

i thought actual jammers were illegal?

I ordered one today. I like having the mute button close at hand but I hate having the cord hanging down making it easier for everyone to see that I have a detector.

 

I'd do the hard-wire down the A-pillar but I don't know how much of a pain they are to deal with having air bags behind them.

 

I had a V1 for over ten years; larger early generation model and a later gen with all the updates. You could own the Interstate with one as long as you had some sense. I never got a ticket b/t Baton Rouge and Houston and I used to drive that twice a month. And I drove fast.

 

But the constant racket in town was just too much. I had programming mine to turn off X-band but it was still waaaay too chatty even in Full Logic mode. So since I wasn't doing nearly as much highway driving, I went with the 9500 with built-in GPS. It's perfect for the driving I do now. After I pass by a bogus emitter three times, it automatically mutes it from that point forward.

 

And while the range might not be quite up to V1 or Redline specs, it's pretty darn close.
