Radar Detector/Jammer ? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

celebdawg · 05-12-2010, 01:15 AM

I am about to embark on a 1900 mile trip from San Fran to Dallas for my new job. Naturally i will be taking my 2010 SS. Im looking forward to the trip across the desert and would love to open it up but dont wanna grab another ticket. I was considering buying a radar detector, or a jammer but when researching i see so many brands and models. its overwhelming to say the least. I mainly am looking for something that will tell me when highway patrol officers nearing me from the opposite direction(like on two lane highways) or when they are sitting and pointing the gun. im sure some of you owners have something similar to what i am interested in? Any ideas/reccomendations?

Thanks

Yep, according to that site, the Passport destroys the Valentine One. The Valentine may have better ranges for some bands, but the 102 false readings vs. the Passport's 5 make the Passport a far better choice.

Either way, pair your detector with a laser jammer such as the Blinder Xtrme 45 for the best protection. Also, have it custom-installed in your front grill area for max protection and discretion.

i agree. i have an older passport 8500 and i love that thing. my buddy has a v-one and its always going off when mine isnt. and everytime my does go off, there's a cop. i love my passport.

Passport 9500ix is the best buy far.

if you can swing it... add the ZR4 to the system as it will protect you from Lidar.

as a detector will only tell you when you are getting a ticket from lidar.

thanks boys. passport 9500 it is. looks like a good investment to add the LIDAR gear too.
