i have never got a laser alert!!

[Mustang_guy17]

Is this because it isn't used in my area or no? Because my 9500i has never alerted to laser even on long trips or nothing. But it saved me like 5 times on a long trip so i have no complaints. I just wanna know what happens when it picks up laser... =/

^^ If you're getting hit with lidar from the front, it is usually obvious. All of my lidar encounters in town have been the same. NYSP sitting perpendicular to the road, less than ten feet from the road, drivers side window down, shooting the gun. It has happened several times that neither my 9500i nor my 8500 x50 has alerted when I have encountered this senario. I don't know whether it was because he wasn't shooting me, or he wasn't shooting anyone at the time or my RD's are mounted too high, hard to say. I have gotten real alerts however and my 9500i falses to bright sunlight so I know what the alert sounds like.

Be happy it is not used in your area a lot. That way you can get away form not having to use a jammer.

Go and collect EVERY remote control in your house and go out to ur car. turn on detector and press the volume button or channel button on remote and aim at detector... try with each remote.

x2, Most likely one of these will set it off (try to put the detector below the tint-band for this testing though!


LASER comes up on the screen and its loud... that pretty much the deal with it.


ALSO I agree with the above: Be very happy its not used in your area because instead of saying 'Laser' it might as well say 'Ticket' without a jammer.

I've never picked up one either. Been in traffic 3 times where motorcycle PO's were using the Prolites. First time mounted on dashboard. I decided to mount it high above rearview mirror and hardwire it after that. I just stay within 10 over PSL. In Austin,TX you are 99% safe at that speed. They let you drive a little faster here than other parts of the country. I have a new 8500 X50 Blue.

+9 in Austin you are OK unless it’s DPS/Travis/Williamson County. Those pri**s will write their own mama a ticket for looking at them the wrong way. Round Rock, Kyle, Liberty Hill will get you for +5 (I have even heard of a few instances of +2 in Round Rock, the one LEO that does this I have named him Elmer Fudd because of the striking resemblance).

Ewww you're bringing back bad memories for me. I got a speeding ticket in Round Rock YEARS ago. Luckily that thing never went on my Cali record. 74 in a 45, I plead guilty on that one cus I was young and dumb, and 74 in a 45 is just way to excessive, even for me.

Yeah I try to avoid Williamson County. I've went by Travis County motorcycle running radar before I got the detector going 8-9 over. Been fortunate not a speeding ticket in over 20 years. Out of town within 5 over. Highway 7 over.
