    Default New Whistler Custom Installed Detectors?

    Is whistler upgrading its custom installed detectors anytime soon...

    Speculate.

    While I don't think it would be a great moneymaker, It would have many benefits like being reasonably priced, having reliable laser detection, stealthy, no cops are going to see it, and all the cool features and performance of the 695.... Whistler has definitely taken the lead in RD innovation recently IMO.

    This is purely a what if thread, no pressure on Whistler 8)

    I was wondering this as well, when I was looking at their remote systems the other day, which are based on the Pro 73 platform I believe.

    I would imagine an updated remote system that would use the new Pro 78 platform might be in the works, but only time will tell.


    and a big x2 to Whistler with its new innovations!

    Ok guys Imagine these features in your custom installed RD:

    No running cables through firewall, its all wireless.
    Laser Pulse Per Second Display
    Laser false Lockout
    Ka Signature ID
    Color Changing Display that can be installed out of sight where the display is always readable
    100% front laser Detection
    Sensitivity of the tuned Pro 78 rev C platform
    No cops know you have a detector, its in the grill.
    Completely Configurable (Selectable bands, filters, POP, Tones, Voice, etc)
    3 City Modes
    A Fair price
    3 Year warranty from Whistler!
    Window Tint would not affect performance

    I am 100% sold lol

    I've only asked this question several times...

    EVERY time Mike B. just ignores the question (although I can't help but think he really just ignores me).

    Here's examples:

    http://www.radardetector.net/viewtop...=249623#249623

    http://www.radardetector.net/viewtop...ghlight=remote
    http://www.radardetector.net/viewtop...=389223#389223

    I've used Whistler since I started using RD's and nothing else. I love their products and only have good things to say (except for Cobra falsing on the pre- PRO-78/XTR690/XTR695 models).

    Unfortunately, I think Whistler's "excellent" customer service on this forum is also selective. If Mike B. doesn't feel like dealing w/you or your particular question/problem, he'll just totally ignore you with no rhyme or reason.

    At least that's the steady impression he's given me. I guess we'll just have to sit back and continue to wait and see on this one. It would be nice to hear Whistler is still making strides in the remote RD front as well.

    I hope that Whistler would upgrade their custom install detectors. I have a wish list:

    1. All the features of the new XTR-695.
    2 Front and back Laser heads
    3 Front and back Radar heads.
    4. In dash, on dash or below dash control and indicator unit.
    5. Priced at $ 500.00 or less


    Guess I don't want much at all.

    If any members have a question regarding current Whistler Products, I will do my best to answer them.

    Please do not ask what Whistler is working on for future products as I cannot divulge that information as it is confidential.

    Please understand

    Yeah Michael, I understand where you are coming from. Just know that we all think a Pro 78 Platform custom install would be pretty awsome....

    Good luck on all your future products 8)

    Default Whistler Products

    Michael B.

    When I put up my wish list, I'm personally hoping that the things on the wish list might find it's way into product development (wink and nod). I figure its just a way of helping keep Whistler customers loyal. I know that product develpment has to be keep confidential. I'm personally looking forward to new product from Whistler as well as other Rd manufacturers. I believe Whistler product certainly have the best performance to price ratio.
    However only my 2 cents worth.
