Any truth to this claim?......Spectre Elite can detect Sti driver?

I thought magnesium was what they made those forever matches out of ? LOL!

Just found this, even though it happened last year:

? Radar detector detectors have been with us for over a decade. The first RDD was the VG-2 and has not been sold nor manufactured for over ten years. The VG-2 was replaced by the Spectre series marketed in the United States by Applied Concepts Inc. T

Sti Driver and Redline NOT detected. They also used the older Spectre III and the new one doesn't seem any better at detection than the old one.

I just assumed the "Elite" would be, well, Elite lol. It didn't seem that it was any better. In fact, on average, it seemed like it faired slightly worse.

Not looking forward to my first car fire if the instrument panels held up with this stuff:(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WwdD...eature=related

OP if M3's where detectable I'd have no M3's buy now. The police would have confiscated them. I live in the same place Spectres' are made and if anyone was going to have the latest and greatest Spectres' it would be the Queensland Police force. The police I have spoken to tell me they are a waste of time and money.

If M3s were detectable, it would be everywhere as people would be complaining about it on every online outlet. I guess the Elite isn't very elite after all...mind you, look at the Spectre...it looks about as advanced as the ORIGINAL Escort model.

Well you accomplished that goal well. It feels like one of the best built electronics on the market. I also imagine it would make a pretty good weapon as the Redline carries some weight...no pun intended!

I hear you on that ! :(

It's curious that in the original post here STI-Boy did not return to answer questions about his experience. We also had a guy come on here and say similar things about the Redline. These stories tend to play on people's imaginations until someone finally gets the latest Spectre and puts it next to an STi and proves once again that it is undetectable.

The last time these rumors were spread it was about Spectre IV. They were untrue as witnessed in a posted video. The current stories are false also, and time will bore that out. I have driven past a lot of Spectres in the most RD hostile area of North America and I have never been pulled over. The STi cannot be detected because it does not emit a signal. The internal components, the magnesium case (not just the case, but the design of the magnesium case) cancel out emmissions. Since there is no emission, there can be no detection.

The makers of Spectre can advertise that their product detects all detectors truthfully. Why? Because if you put a Spectre close enough to an Sti (like 6 inches) it will detect small emissions. Does it work in real life? No.


The truth will come out eventually.

radar detect det

Shows the STi Driver, Redline, 9500ix, even the Solo S3 and Pro78SE being undetectable by the Spectre Elite. Too hard to believe, other than the RL and Driver.
