Yeah i didnt think it looked terrible either, though the design could definitly be improved upon, since there it really just looks like a RD jammed into the back of a tom tom. While thats essentially what it is, and you cant get around the horn you need for the RD antenna, it could still be a little more attractive. I would think, something like this would be better implemented as a remote unit with the display being the GPS part, and integrate the radar HUD into the GPS screen. There are a million ways that can be done and will look more clean than that bulky thing.

I just ordered one so we will see what it can do. I like the concept so do not mind testing it out.

Excellent, I would be quite curious to see the results of any testing you do BlinderGuy.

It is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I will take some pictures and video.

Received and returned the same day..What a piece of poo. I tried over 2 hours to get the RD to wireless connect with he GPS and the crap never worked. Emailed seller to send back.

Dang it, that was quick :)

I was so looking forward to it working. The GPS unit itself is nice but the RD will not function properly unless it connects to the GPS. That is how you get alerts plus change all the settings. You also access the marked locations database through wireless also. I never could get it to connect. There are no FCC numbers on it either.

did you at least take some picutres for us?

Not yet but I will. It is still siting here on my desk. I sent an email to the manufacturer to see if they could advise anything before I stick it in the mail.
