    Default In-laws Awesome Radar Detector

    My In-laws bought this high quality piece of crap RadioShack detector a few years ago for both of their vehicles. One being a Nissan 350Z, (yes I know so sad). But anyway they have had at least 3 tickets in Michigan in the past few years but still think this radar detector rocks. I could not find any tests out there on the RadioShack models to prove to them they need better detectors, I am assuming they are on the cobra level. But if anyone has any info let me know.

    Thanks

    That's a Radio Shack clone on the Early Warning 3005.

    I have a feeling that thing would even do worse than a cobra.

    Um, yeah, it's a $50 RD. I am considering purchasing one of the higher end EW units for the next GOL.

    This thing looks cruddy. Got to be worst than the Cobra and looks very small.
