    Why not just unplug it? Come on, the shield is a part of the design. The radar may work without it but the laser would most likely go crazy. It's a light filter, and a dust shield.

    if the reason is dust only why they made it black not transparncy ?

    I have removed it and gave it a try and the reasult is

    800 Meters with out black shield ( rampup then quite for 100 or 200 meters and again rampup untill reached the radar)

    200 meters with black shield

    the difference almost 600 meters !
    =====================================


    about the light issue , am not sure I have tested it at night 3 am LOL

    anyhow police dont use laser in my country , so i can switch laser off lol

    You know maybe i remove the shield and put black tint

    to hide the radar behind it , so no one can see it

    I have to give it try !

    any major damage ? by removing the shield ?

    I have never heard of results like that. The shield is only plastic and should not have any effect on radar reception. That is strange.

    OK,

    I have tested on my V1 , I have removed the black shield

    Dont miss understand me guys , maybe it cause problem to my V1 from sunlight

    dust etc !

    But who is saying that it range wont be effected he is totally

    wrong !!

    there is big difference , you can try it by your self

    you will be amazed ! , i have tryed it on escort 9500i as i said above and now V1

    both gave extra 100s of meters with no sheild

    I need to know is it becouse of black color ? or becouse of the plastic ?

    anyhow why they use black color sheild ?

    to protect the linse from sunshine ? or heat ?

    cant they use white plastic with sunshine isloated ? (Isloated Tint )

    Oh me, oh my.


    This just leaves me with:

    Don't do that on your future detectors, the people who design RD's as a living put that piece there for a reason...
