Looking to get some security

[stlcardsfan]

Hey all joined because i want to make an informed decision about my future purchase of a radar/laser system. I am currently looking for a radar detector and laser jammer combo which has a "stealth" install(no dash mounts). Right now the 9500ci looks awesome but price after install is a real deterrent. Will be mounted in a 2008 Audi A4.

A V1 and a Blinder M47 would be $1080 plus install.
For stealth a Bel STi and a Blinder M47 would be $1180
For no little to no false alarms a 9500ix and a M47 would also be $1180

If you only want front laser protection subtract $250 from the above totals.

The best accepted radar/laser setup is LI Quad, V1, 9500ci... that'll set you back $3200 plus installation.

Thanks everyone! Like I said before, I definitely do not want a dash/windshield mounted unit. I want it integrated with the car. So doesn't that rule the V1 out? And I read RadarRoys review of the Escort laser jammer included with the 9500ci and he seemed to think it was decent.

Ahh sorry. Didn't didn't read OP very thoroughly. In this case the Escort SR7/Blinder M27 is the cheapest effective radar/laser combo that would be integrated in the car. That'll come to about $1220. Now the SRX is the same thing except it comes with ZR3s and not Blinders. ZR3s are not as good as Blinders in terms of jamming and it is only 20 dollars cheaper.

No way. ZR4 is nada. Read the GOL results. It's a total scam. It can't even do a decent job of protecting totally blacked out compact cars. It's going to make zero difference on your car.

The STi-R is your best bet for a concealed detector. An LI is the only sure thing protection solution for laser. A Blinder -- assuming the upcoming version meets expectations -- is a less expensive alternative. If you spend that much on that kind of car and buy anything less for protection, you're a fool.

There is no remote detector/jammer combo that jams worth a crap. It's an overpriced gimmick. If you want a detector, buy a detector. If you want a jammer, buy a jammer. All-in-one systems are a recipe for FAIL.

do you watch dj videos ?99% of the time his ci beats his v1

ya but the zr4's are sub par without veil so no system is great at both is what he is saying

We were talking about jamming, not radar detecting.

[Larson7.62]

Holy sh*t I didnt realize how much the LI cost. How good is the range on the STi-R for laser detection? If it is past 1000 feet, can I get a cheaper jammer alternative because their laser wont even read past 1000 feet?

EDIT: And how come I see a lot of people running 9500ci's if the jammers dont work well?

[trailtow]

laser can clock you at over 2000ft and sometimes beyond. Also the new Blinder which for front protection will be $429 which is a dual head but has yet to be throughly tested. As the sti-r laser detection plain and simple detection is worth nothing 99.9% of the time when you detect it the cops alrady has your speed.

[Stealth Stalker]

Most laser encounters don't even begin until around 500 feet or less. And you'll cover half that distance before you can slow down, meaning you need protection to at least 250 feet, best case. That means you need either a Blinder or an LI.

Laser detection is a non-factor. Another bogus issue cooked up to sell radar detectors. It won't save you.
