Anyone using one, finding them effective?

Really want to buy one, but I've heard of police having radar detector-detectors or something of that sort ?! I think they're illegal where I am...

I have had experience with all 3 of them, They are all amazing so many tickets avoided! In my opinion anything less then $300 is a waste of money for a radar detector anyone I know has never had good luck with a cheap radar detector.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I've heard mixed results as to their effectiveness with modern police equipment.

Honestly go read the reviews for them on amazon nothing is 100% effective but more of a safety measure kinda like insurance.

I'm not an excessive speeder, but I travel home every night at midnight and am simply looking for something as a heads-up device.

I have one of these. It was the first one I ever tried. For longer trips on the interstate it works ok and has alerted me of hidden troopers and police. The X and K band auto door openers in the city buildings will drive you crazy setting the detector off. I don't use it much anymore. I still have it for extended trips.

Are radar detectors not illegal in the states? I've always wanted one but they're illegal where I'm from.

Jamming is illegal, detecting is not.

What kind is it? How is it working for you?

A basic Cobra, working well. Saved me yesterday on the way home.

Looks nice. Have you come up with any suggestions for multiple plugs for 12V?

I have a pass through 12v plug with extra side wires running my interior lights and radar detector.
