    Default I need help deciding which to get: C50 or Mirror

    i wasnt planning on buying a GPS photo camera device this soon but came across a good price for the Cheetah GPS mirror at $245 US incl shipping to Canada.

    I am concerned about possibility of paying takes and duties on it but company rep told me it will be shipped USPS standard mail and usually, you pay nothing.

    But i cant make up my mind between that or getting the C50.

    The C50 is newer, more advanced but it does not have the interface ability with laser jammer and radar detector which i would like to both get in future.

    Should i just go for C50 and use it seperately or spend the extra bit of money and take advantage of the interface ability and hidden look of mirror.

    Although these are not illegal but a cop might think my C50 is a RD and stop me only to find my future real RD.

    I am also taking into consideration that mirror comes with lifetime updates but C50 needs another $50 for that option.

    It depends on what RD are you planning on getting. If i had the money i would get the GPSmirror. To interface it with the RD you would still need to get the suitable adapter which cost extra money. But you dont really have to worry about taking it down your dash. The tint on the GPSmirror is freaking amazing. Cars with HID's dont bother me as much. the ability to see your blind spots is an added bonus. If you have kids the mirror is big enough so that you can pay attention to your kids on the back seat. I have the V1 and the GPSmirror is a blessing when you drive with it in the city. ability to reduce falses (sounds outta the mirror) without reducing sensitivity........

    If i'm not wrong you can always connect an enternal antenna and have the C50 near the cup holder.....I like the voice commands on the C50 over the GPSmirror.

    Overall i would choose the GPSmirror over the C50.

    QT, thanks for giving that feedback to SDM.

    I took the liberty of correcting all the references in your post to the C100, because you were clearly talking about the GPSmirror, not the C100, and I wanted to avoid any unnecessary confusion. Hope you don't mind.

    Go ahead and save up and buy the mirror
