    Totally agree, do a search on a few of my threads to see how the different models perform around Perth, WA.

    I have tested the top units around Perth, and theres a big reason why i sold the others and now run the Bel STi XR. 'QUALITY!'

    The Bel STi XR is paramount on multanova's and K-band traffic cars.

    You wont be dissapointed!

    PM me if you want to know an excellent local dealer in Perth.

    Thanks.

    Or maybe you will be disappointed!.... Like me :cry:

    I recently bought a Bel Sti Driver and it sucks vs Multanovas.

    I live in the same area as fastnfurious80 and have encountered 3 Multanovas so far. Each time the Sti gave me maybe 1 second warning. The only reason I didn't get booked was because each time I was not exceeding the speed limit (pure luck).

    To be honest, the Cobra I had 15 years ago was better than this thing!

    Only if you can run it in Euro mode and not even then if the Multanova's out of tune to any great extent.

    Not knocking what your saying but that's not been my experience at all. What rev number have you got and is it a locally purchased unit or one from the US?

    You don't need stealth like you Eastern states at the moment but the STi is what i have and it's very good. On the other hand, the V1 will pick up an electric garage door opening on the moon, apparently!
