Safety Tint & Detector Performance

[Rapture333]

I am considering getting Llumar safety tint on the sides and rear of my vehicle and performance tint on the windshield. Will this impact my performance in any unforseen ways? I figure it might mess with rear detection a bit but hey, its a V1 and it should be more than adequate. Does anyone know how much Safety tint will actually cut out RD performance?

If it is metalized it will cut down on radar reception of course and being a tint you will lose laser reception if you mount your detector behind it.

I mounted mine behind a lumar tinted front glass on my honda CBR 1000RR a week ago and have only used it to go to work witch is threw the woods kinda and this one store picks it up in my car and now that ive tryed it on my bike its still picking up that stores doors good so i would think you would be ok.I just wished i could figure out how to set it up?I have read the book and everything but i'm scared i'm going to turn the wrong thing off.
I think those doors are K band so do LEO's use K band any???

yes they still use K, barely use x but apparently in NJ they do. i don't have x turned on, i've driven between texas to colorado 3 times and have never seen it.

you can get the remote audio adapter from v1. i can't link to the site because of some BS rule
