Hello Everyone,

So, I am basically set on getting a radar detector.
My situation is that I travel between Tennessee, but I stay mostly in Virginia.

I am debating on which radar detector I should get.
I realize that Virginia that the Radar detector detectors, but how many police cars even have the spectre? My friend who's driven around in Virginia for the past 2 yrs and now around Richmond, VA with a Escort X8500. He has not been caught for using a radar detector yet. He apparently claims that only around <10&#37; of state troopers actually have RDDs, due to the high cost.

If this is true, should I even bother getting a Beltronic STi? I realize it has zero detectability and amazing detection range, but what about the Valentine One?

Also, what about the new Beltronic GX 65, it seems to have handy new functions that the Beltronic STi does not have, most notably the GPS function and the traffic cams.

So, I have no idea which one I should purchase!

Will Beltronic every come out with an STi that also includes GPS, that would be nice.

I would recommend STi Driver - It performs well too

The Escort 9500i/ix and Bel GX65, on the M4 platform, are good at not being detected by the Spectre, but they're not invisible. I'd recommend the STi Driver and concealing it well.. why risk getting caught?

STi Driver FTW.

Make sure you mount the STi Driver high and hardwire for clean/ sleath install

The 10% figure has to be pushed over the many hours you will be on the road. If they are there you have to be lucky all the time. They only have to be lucky once.

STi is the way to go.

I also suggest the STi.

Thanks for all the input .

I am going to buy the STi from the Belltronic's website tomorrow >.

What kind of wiring should I get so I can mount it around the RV mirror?

Why not buy it from radarbusters using the link above and support the forum?

Great decision. Look up the direct wire smart cord.
