Now since stealth was the number one priority with most driving being in NSW and from all the information gathered here I found this was my best option.
Went ahead and plugged it all in and seems to work.. to a degree.
I could be having - Would you call it bad luck or good luck? But each time I pass a HWP the STi stays as quiet as a mouse, no sound or chirping. I thought hey, the LEO must have their radar turned off but I've passed another two since then and am starting to think Hmmm maybe the detector has a problem? I could be entirely wrong though..
For the first couple of weeks I had just K and KA band enabled with the rest off but just to give it some more testing I enabled X and POP as well (Even though I hear their not so often used!)
I've done a trip from the country into Sydney and back (over 4-5hours each way mostly highway driving) and have only had K Band go off (Automatic doors and for some reason it went crazy at one average speed camera on the trip.. But only once I was right underneath the dam thing) & X Band (Automatic Doors as well). I heard HWP here use KA Band radar on their cars but its never gone off and from what I've read its unlikely they use that "HOLD" thingy on it often.
Any advice guys?
Also my STi Is the Driver model so It seems to be fairly old and somewhat out of date in terms of features... I have no idea what my options would be with updating it either since I'm in Australia and with the little communication I had with Neltronics (Beltronics Distributor in Aus) they didn't seem to care too much about my concerns.
Thanks.
