Safety Tint & Detector Performance
I am considering getting Llumar safety tint on the sides and rear of my vehicle and performance tint on the windshield. Will this impact my performance in any unforseen ways? I figure it might mess with rear detection a bit but hey, its a V1 and it should be more than adequate. Does anyone know how much Safety tint will actually cut out RD performance?
Re: Safety Tint & Detector Performance
If it is metalized it will cut down on radar reception of course and being a tint you will lose laser reception if you mount your detector behind it.
Re: Safety Tint & Detector Performance
I mounted mine behind a lumar tinted front glass on my honda CBR 1000RR a week ago and have only used it to go to work witch is threw the woods kinda and this one store picks it up in my car and now that ive tryed it on my bike its still picking up that stores doors good so i would think you would be ok.I just wished i could figure out how to set it up?I have read the book and everything but i'm scared i'm going to turn the wrong thing off.
I think those doors are K band so do LEO's use K band any???
sorry to hijack but were can you buy ear plug that plugs into side of Valentine so i can put into my helment ????

yes they still use K, barely use x but apparently in NJ they do. i don't have x turned on, i've driven between texas to colorado 3 times and have never seen it.
you can get the remote audio adapter from v1. i can't link to the site because of some BS rule

Re: Safety Tint & Detector Performance
there isn't anywhere for you to plug in your headphones without the adapter...
Re: Safety Tint & Detector Performance
thanks for helping me,but i just read over at the valentine site and you mean you have to buy another box to mount just to use ear phones?Hell its not like you have all this room on a motorcycle to be mounting all this crap.My valentine is mounted on the inside of the front little wind sheild on my bike and it looks cool as hell and you cant plug no ear plugs in that whole on the side of my RD?then what is that whole for?there's got to be a pair of plugs that will plug into that whole????

lol, i was speed reading and the whole hole thing was what jumped out at me :p
anyway, yeah it isn't a headphone jack, you can't plug in headphones there. that is where the speaker is. if you want to use headphones, you HAVE to get that adapter.
Re: Safety Tint & Detector Performance
thank you so much ,i just read my manual and it shows that hole as the speaker,I had read the manual before but i had not mounted the RD to my bike so i had not paid that no attention at that time.
but the way its mounted on my bike I would have to run my ear phones from under my seat and i want away to just unplug them when i moved the RD over to my car
