    Default Radar Detector Help!!

    Hello together

    Im new in this forum.

    I will move soon to the US at the moment im still living in Switzerland. I will move to California or Florida this is not sure.

    On the homepage from Roy Radar i got many informations about Radar detectors. I suppose Valentine One or Bel RX 65 would be the best choice.

    But what i still dont understand is the following:

    Are these detectors also save from the Laserguns? Or a need additionally
    an active laserjammer? I do still not understand the difference between passive and an active laserjammer. Is a Laserjammer allowed in the US like a Radardetector or not?

    I saw also many infos about Veil that would be surely also intersting to add to my car.

    The question is my car is a Lamborghini LP640. I dont have a really big view and window in the back of the car. Is that important for the detection system?


    Many thanks in advance

    If you can affort that car you can afford the best laser jammer. My sugestion when you get here is to try both the V1 and the bel and return whichever you dont want. I dont have a jammer so others will have to fill you in on that part. An RD alone will almost never save you from lidar, so a jammer is a must if you are really worried. Welcome to the forum.

    P.S. You got any pics of your car, I love Lambo's.

    Ok thank you for the suggestion.

    My worries are for the lidars .... then the Radars will be detected without problem.

    Is a lidar control often in the US?

    What about Veil? Thats also very intersting ...

    Yes i have some pics ... how can i place this pics here?

    Alright...as far as jamming laser that is 100% legal in the US. As for radar it is a big no no. Don't think just because you have a 400 dollar radar detector you will be saved from every speed trap and cop out there that is running radar. But yes the RX65 and the V1 are about the best. The V1 is better at detecting laser but the RX65 is better at detection Ka band radar around corners and over hills. Your big concern should be Ka band radar and laser. So go with either as both are good and get a blinder m-40 laser jammer.

    Veil is a coating used on your front license plate and/or head lights. It is effective but not alone. If I had a blinder M-40 strapped onto a Lambo and was worried about lidar I probably would not use it because Veil is a coating that is noticable. Slime on a ford is fine but on a Lambo not so good.

    As far as posting pics go to www.photobucket.com and get a free account. Load your pics from your computer to that and you will be able to link them from that site. It is easy once you start

    Also your question about having small windows is understood. As long as you mount your radar detector somewhere...best if high...that it has a clear view out of the front and back of the car. If this is not possible then just make sure it can see out the front well. If you do not believe that you can mount a RD somewhere in your car so it can see out the back get the RX65. The arrows will be inaccurate if the V1 cannot look both ways. Keep in mind(for best performance always mount towards the center of the windsheild)

    Jamming laser is 100 legal in the US? Is that right? I thought is not allowed .. so it means Radardetector and Laserjammer is all allowed.

    The Blinder will jam the lidar very sure? Or it depends always?
    Where the Blinder has to be fixed? I have a very small back window and view ... could that be a problem?

    Which speedtraps you mean? Do they control often on the highways? Mostly i will go to drive in the morning very early when the sun is rising up ... i think at this time it will not have much traffic and also cops around ... because in the traffic is not so good to drive toooo fast. 8)

    Ka band? Hm ... so its really hard to say which one is better but i will try i guess ... do you have a V1 or RX65?

    Oh that with the Veil sound not very very good. Must this treatment always be repeated?

    You can mount high centered and be fine. Yes...jamming lidar is legal. Becuase it is administrated by the food and drug administration. The M40 works great from what others have said. Check out some videos...

    sorry I make it confusing...the Radar detector(V1 OR RX65) mounts inside the front windsheild and the laser jammer(Blinder M-40 X-treme) mounts to the front and back bumpers. The M-40 comes with 4 laser jammer modules. Most people mount all 4 to the front bumper for better protection because very seldom are you hit from the back with lidar.

    Here is two modules of the blinder on a camaro that another user posted. They need to point straight ahead perfectly. These pics are not but I just wanted to show you what the modules look like.

    As far as where to mount and how great they are honestly I am not an expert when it comes to laser jammers as there is no need for them in my area. There are other experts that will see this later today and help you with the laser jammer. They got to wake up first LOL

    Ok everything clear now.

    But as i heard in the US its necessary to have only one number plate on the back of the car and also without illumination right? So i will surely not mount also a front number plate ... this makes only the car more ugly :-) the best would be without a number plate ...

    Good to know and thanks for your info ... i thought that lidar controls in the US are always from the back of the car. So if its like this only a V1 or RX65 would be also enough .... but of course better with the M40 in combination ...
    but better 2 modules in front and 2 in the back not?

    Is this equipment heavy?
