My Trip Through Virginia Using the x50

I didnt get one alert period all the way through VA, I was on U.S. 23 and I used it at night, not during the day. It was weird, I thought I would get alot of Constant On Hits.


Here is my setup lit up, I placed the suction cups behind the wiper blades considering it was about 10pm outside and no way could you see over the dash of an expedition anyway from a crown vic:

This is it at night, as you can tell I put tape over the "HD" L.E.D on my x50 to where no light could be saw:

By HD do you mean the display? You know there is an "all" dark mode, right? :lol: Or do you mean the bright power LED on the power chord?

The mode that just leaves "HD" on the screen, even with an alert. Thats what I kept it on. It worked though :)

IN dark mode this detector stills display AD,HD,CD (depeds what mode the RD is in). At lease thats how it works on my RX65. Thse Sti is the only RD i know that has a true dark mode.

Yep, you are correct carter840. The X50 works in the same manner as the RX65.

ELVATO is correct. I just checked and the X-50 does have an all dark mode. It can be enabled in the program mode.

^ Yep, brothers aradarnut and ELVATO are both right on the money - it's under the Programming menu, option "DARK ALL."

This is a "true" all-dark mode.

yeah, X50 is a "TRUE DARK" detector, no illuminated screen, and no illuminated buttons, just the smartcord alert LED and audio......... I use all dark as a standard setting
