ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    go to some place where you can buy it and return it and try some different ones and see which you like, yea stay under 300 but above 150, because cops always make upgrades every year too just like the radars, so you dont wanna waste major bank and not have it work in a couple years, my cobras great, i got the one with the POP radar detector

      i know they also make diffusers/detectors.... like the K-40 which is garunteed to scramble the cops detector or they pay all your tickets for one year straight garunteed.

      the K-40 gos inside your front and rear bumpers and you get two sensors in your gauge that blink when theres a cop. 2000$ and its yours, sounds worth it if i had that kind of cashiesh
      No, laser jammers/scramblers/blinders are all illegal.

      To the OT read my previous post. And no offense to the posters posting on a suggestion saying my boy got this one and never got pulled over and shit it doesn't really help at all...their experience will not be the same everytime.

            I have a cobra, the one with the POP detector as well, that I paid about 160 for and it works fine. And you may have the best radar detector in the world but if you drive stupid then you will still get tickets.
            Radar detectors are legal in most states. I know they are ILLEGAL in NY though.

                  The valentine 1 is very good, but it's not the only good one. The beltronics v955's beat it out now in many cases with valentine winning in laser, and at half the price that's something worth looking into. Not to mention you can get one with a few less bells and whistles in the form of a $150-$160 v940, with the exact same detection capabilities as the 955. If you search for detectors on google you should easily be able to find this retired sherif's website, where all he does is explain radar detectors and test them and tell you how best to use them.

                  Best placement for your detector is in the center of your windshield, as low as possible. Cops aim for your headlights or license plate, particularly with laser, which won't be picked up if your detector is up too high. He said laser has a 3ft radius, so at the bottom center of your windshield you should just barely be able to catch a laser signal in time(if that's what your cops use.) Still, if you put it there it's the center-most point when you consider where a cop will be aiming from.

                        radar detectors are legal everywhere except virginia and DC.

                        You guys have them confused with the radar jammers which are illegal in many states.

                        but when I get a car worthy of it, I will use it anyways because the po po sucks.

                        I have the passport 8500. I want the V1 though.

                            i love my bel v995, as with any radar dector if a cop has a laser gun and points it at you your pretty much screwed if your speding.

                                Bestbuy or circuitcity, i would recomend getting the proection plan on em if you live in a hot area, cause leaving it on the dash while its sunny out equals fried dector.
