A:AnswerThis detector does not go off at all when a new car sporting the new avoidance RADAR goes by. It is also up gradable as new systems are put in cars
A:AnswerIt comes with a power cord that plugs into your cigarette lighter. It provides suction cups for windshield mounts and also a double stick Velcro pad to attach to the dash. However you must put it so that the rear facing Laser has an unobstructed view through your rear window. On my 2013 F150 I had to put it on the windshield so that it was high enough to be able to 'see' over the rear seats.
A:AnswerIt has 3 sensitivity levels (low, medium and high) that are similar to city/highway mode. I like that it has a "medium" sensitivity for the times you may go through a mix of city and highway.
A:AnswerYou have to be careful when mounting this unit. It must have an unrestricted view. Windshield wipers and a tinted brow on the windshield will affect the range on this detector. Mounting it above the windshield wipers and ensuring that the detector is fairly level will assist in how well it can detect radar/laser. This detector has signaled for a radar over 1 mile away when it had an unobstructed view. Remember that buildings, hills, and other things can interfere somewhat with the detector's ability.
A:AnswerThis is way better this has really good filtering . Doesn't pick up false hits like other ones do this works better then my passport x70 . This has same distance as my passport good sector not like other cobras at wallmart
A:AnswerFrom my experience having this product I would answer this as a no it does not pick up any city photo camera’s .
However it does pick up false alarms driving by a bank or grocery store that has a security system in it. This product does it’s job for the most part it has its flaws . However it is good for the budget but if you can afford the more expensive ones you’re probably better off .
A:AnswerNo,self contained unit needs line of sight front and rear,alert sounds come from the unit and windshield mount is illegal in the state of Minnesota,center of the dash is best
A:AnswerSo the efficiency of the scanner will drop but not too much. You have to remember that you just added a layer of resistance. As for detecting behind you, yes it will work but not as strong as the front detection. Just make sure you place it flat to the road and high enough where you can see it from the rear windshield.
