What model radar detector will you be using?
Check out the Arkon mounts for your Garmin. I used to have a lot of trouble with the factory Garmin mount falling off. The Arkon one I bought to replace it, however, is great.
Thanks for your reply, I thought everyone forgot about my question. My wife and I ended up cutting some of the antenna and noticed the SWR on channels 1 -30 were below a 2.0. However once you got...
Everybody on the forum basically suggested that I was nuts when I posted my experiences with the V1's poor performance and horrid customer service too.
I might have given VR another chance if...
I use turpentine. Works great.
Keep in mind that the 7500S is supposed to have increased range over the 7500 (the model in that test).
If the ferrite chokes don't work, go buy a 470 microfarad capacitor rated for 25 volts or higher and install it between the power and ground of your power source. Be sure to note the polarity if...
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it. It is nice to know that should I decide to crank a little power into the antenna at some point, it can take it.
I got the antenna fine-tuned...
I just purchased a Larsen NMO27C antenna with a Larsen trunk lip mount. I see online that the antenna is rated at 200 watts. Before pushing any sort of high power into it, I'd like to know if...
The Valentine One has been shown to interfere even with the 9500ci installed units, so three feet is almost certainly not going to be enough.
Yep, the Bel Express models and the earlier Bel Vector models had that style. I think the last one with it was the Vector 985. I rather liked it myself.
If the Beltronics rep monitors the...
If you have a very low budget, you're going to have better results with Whistler than Cobra. The only thing really within your price range is the Whistler XTR-265.

Well folks, I haven't been on the forum in a while, but I've recently been forced into a newer car, so I'm starting all my CM installing all over.
I was in a traffic accident about a month ago,...
It took a little work, but it was easily worth it. First off, you'll need to purchase a direct-wire adapter. I bought mine from an Amazon seller called NavSphere and I was fairly impressed with the...
The deal on the radio got too sweet to pass up, so I bought it.
Having gotten no replies, I went ahead and bought the USB cable as well. For anyone finding this thread in the future, I can...
Some of those inexpensive amps are really nasty with harmonics and whatnot. Thankfully the interference usually doesn't go more than 500-1000 feet or so, thus it isn't too hard to keep interference...
So I've got the chance to buy a used VX-7r for a great price. However, it has had a hardware freeband mod done, and it looks like when the guy removed the solder jumper, he actually lifted the...
As some of the others have said, if you're considering the radar performance above all else, the 9500ix might not be the best choice for primarily rural driving. The Bel STI or the Escort Redline...
Oh good call. Since it was a friend's car, I just used cigarette lighter adapters for both. In my own car, they will both be hardwired, one through an unused slot in the fuse box and one through an...
Still a good RD, but probably due for a tune-up. Call Escort and they should be able to fix you right up.
I'm about 90% certain it works like this:
Take the last four digits of the serial number, it will be week/year. So it it is 3009, it would have been made in week 30 or 2009.
Right, same. In my car, I first hardwired my RX65. The later, a scanner (which I eventually removed). Then removed the RX65 for a V1 (which I sold and went back to the RX65). Then hardwired my...
That's my plan next time too. Slap my STI on the windshield until I have time to really scope out how I want a remote installed, do it once and do it right.
For your purpose, I don't think a Whistler would be a good choice. They have been known to completely mis-identify bands, so there's no way I could trust that the frequency ID would be accurate.

Talked from Centralia Illinois to New Jersey a couple days ago, again from my mobile :D.
