Newbie from Ontario needs info
Hello everyone I am from Ontario, I am interested in getting a radar detector.
I understand that there is such a thing as radar detector detectors, in use by our fine constabulary.
From what I understand the Beltronics STI Driver Radar Detector is a good detector that is presently undetectable by current OPP technology.
Is this what everyone in Ontario is using?
Do I need to cross the border to buy one?
I would feel nervous about being pulled over, while my detector is beeping. Is there a way to hide a radar detector, while being pulled over?
Is there a way to conceal them in your car?
What about laser is that detectable?
Please any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Too many questions/issues at once, first you gotta get the STI, the ONLY undetectable RD on the planet right now, once you got it we will take it from there with the rest of the answers, but until that moment you have plenty of time to educate yourself and read, read and read again, this forum is full of great info about the unique world of radar detectors!!!
The best place to get it is:

Also you will need a visor clip:

and a wire to hardwire your STI by the sun visor:

Now, depends how far you live from any US border crossing, you can have it delivered to your home address in Ontario but you will have to pay GST and PST plus any eventual UPS brokerage fee ($30-$50) or have it delivered to the nearest UPS Store down in US (no tax at all), for instance the one down in Niagara Falls, NY (you pay just $5 to the store) and you will go down there and pick it up yourself and hardwire it at the local Circuit City in Buffalo, coming back to Canada it will be by the visor, they have no jurisdiction over this issue, you might as well buy a simple CD holder from any Wal Mart store and cover it up, but that's after it has been professionally hardwired...
Best of luck and feel free to ask more questions before you decide to order it :wink:
