Beltronics Stir R Plus radar Detector?

[Alikessu]

Hi Guys
I have been considering in investing in a Radar Detector setup, and I read some positive reviews on the Beltronics Stir R Plus.
And wanted to get some feed back from the Family
your thoughts
what your running
your setups
what has worked well

thanks

Much Better! I sent you a PM on thoughts and what I use.... for everyone here my radar detector of choice is the Valentine V1. I like having the bogey counter, directional arrows, and indication as to what type of radar and/or laser is being used against me when I'm driving...

I think investing in a good radar detector is a good thing but keep in mind.... don't get a radar detector so you can evade police traps... get them so you can have a better sense of what's happening while you're driving. I have found that most people tend to drive like idiots whenever they unexpectedly see a patrol officer running their radar on the highways so I use my Valentine to help alert me whenever radar is employed so I can be more aware of my surroundings, especially when people are driving ahead of me. I pretty much see them slamming on their brakes and when I go by I'm exactly at the posted speed limit

I started researching radar detectors recently as well. Here are the ones I narrowed it down to. I listed them by price not preference or rating. Personally I'm leaning towards the Valentine One or the Escort Passport 9500IX.

1-Escort Passport 9500IX Radar Detector- $387

2-Valentine One Radar Detector-$439

3-Escort RedLine Radar Detector-$470

4-Escort Passport Max2 HD Radar Detector-$477

Valentine is the way to go. If you really want more info than the unit add the smart phone interface. Also they are upgradable over time so you get the improvements. Just had mine done so now I don't get alarms for the blind spot detectors etc.

Jon, how about the Volvo lasers that are used as part of their active braking? My V1 gives me the laser warning every time I come up on the newer Volvos....

I have two friends with Escorts and one with the Valentine . I have seen both have issues with the newer cars and their adaptive cruise controls,etc.

My main gripe with the Valentine is....its ugly and the Escorts are much better looking! haha!
