Tint question

[MattN03]

How much will metallic tint effect a V1 or any other RD? I'm looking into purchasing my first RD and never thought about tint effecting performance until reading some posts on this site. I have 15% metallic Llumar tint on every window including a strip across the front of the windshield. Thanks!

metallic based tint stops radio waves from passing through it. Since radar is a radio wave it will affect you real bad (If in Fact it is true metallic tint) some tints that are labeled as metallic really aren't.

You would be better off with a remote mounted system if you don't want to lose the tint.

Who makes a remote mounted system?

I just picked up a V1 tonight on Ebay. I guess I'll see how well it works with my vehicles and go from there. Thanks for the links. Those first couple are pricey!

How can I find out what types of speed detecting equipment are used by local and regional patrol officers?

usually by experience, its good to go speed trap hunting and found out.

Thanks for the link. I live in north MS, just south of Memphis. Unfortuanately, neither TN or MS is listed in that particular thread. I'll go speed trap hunting as suggested and see if I can't add to that list at some point.
