    So far it has saved me a couple of times. No chance to test with laser yet. Modular plug nice put makes in a non universal. If you hard wire buy a aftermarket kit. Should come with a hard wire kit

    The radar detected every threat on two recent road trips to a very patrolled region near columbus Ohio and also from indianapolis to chicago Illinois. I was impressed with the responsiveness and warning time i received from the unit enabling me to regulate my travel speed accordingly. Provided me a since of confidence while traveling

    He was thrilled to receive this. He has an older model and likes it very much. Haven't used it much yet do I can't speak to its performance but it arrived as expected and I know my husband is a big fan of this brand. He's the kind of person that researches items and always goes for quality over price. So it has his seal of approval

    I grew up with Cincinnati Microwave and loved their products, Found them to be superior to anything on the market and until I Purchased a wireless never did buy another brand. The wireless passports just didn't measure up, Sensitivity diminished until inferior. Then Laser came out, and competitors seem to have surpassed Cincinnati Microwave. I mounted this unit side by side with my 20 year old Laser, thinking it was time for a retirement party, only to send the Youth packing and thank my lucky stars for my Veteran Detector. The Passport goes off at every opportunity and is pointless unless you have a sleeping disorder and need constant stimulation from unnecessary alarms. Sorry my old Friend I was so hoping for more, Consolation, this was a low end unit, maybe effective usefulness just cost more?

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
