    Default Looking to get some security

    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.

    Remote mount detectors are not cheap, it's going to run $1500 + for any remote detector and jammer setup at a minimum.

    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.

    So what would you recommend? If possible I would like a red display to match my gauges. Thank you both for advice!

    But doesnt the escort have better radar detection capability? So should I get the BelTronics STI without the jammers?

    Nope. V1 is king of sensitivity, reactivity, ramp-up, and situational awareness. Escort comes close in sensitivity, but no cigar. The only reason I'd go with anything other than a V1 would be for the stealth of a STi if I lived in Ontario again. But I'd be giving up a lot for that one insignificant advantage. Both are red.

    Blinder 4-head will protect your front. Not so sure about the rear. LI Quad will protect your front and back for a little more, but is well worth it.

    Ooops! My mistake. There's another intro thread where they're talking about the M47. I got confused. All these foreign cars look alike to me.
