    Default Athermic Winshell .... what to do what to do

    Hello guys

    Well using my V1 I was very happy about the performance of my RD.
    Bascily for the low powered radars here in Eu we could detect them between 300 to 450 meters before.
    But I have changed my car and the windshell is Athermic ..... testing my V1, I was horrifyed with the new performances ....
    Detection range drop from 450 meters to few meters before the radars which make unsefull my V1

    Has someone got a solution except changing the windshell (in this model all are athermic) ?

    My God even now the windshells are on the police side !!!!!

    Thanks

    fred

    - Some companies sell a box to mount the V1 remotely, you could do that and then use the remote display inside your vehicle. To find these, you have to search the web....

    - Or get a remote detector like the BEL 975 or BEL Target 966r

    Unfortunately, the dealers that sell these remote boxes compete with radarbusters, so no linking is allowed, otherwise I would have posted a link to begin with :wink:

    get a remote rd that mounts in the bumper, like jim stated or get a aftermarket windshield (not recommended), and what car do you drive?

    well mounting in the bumper in not a good idea as in that case here they keep for the state our cars while not mounted in a car we risk "only" 1000 USD if caught
    this new kind of windshell are really terrible reducing too much the range detection
