At least that's what a high end audio shop in San Diego told me.

Does anyone here have a windshield mounted radar/laser detector installed?
If so I'd love your feedback

I was told my only option is mounting my Escort Radar in the grill


Thanks

Now think about what those meat heads said----"will not penetrate"----google stealth and radar before utter anything!!

No SLS owners have Radar detectors installed?
I can't live without one.

Side-note, but same theory - does anyone have an EZPASS in their SLS window? If so - where did you put it? All my other Mercedes have a 'spot' for the EZPASS that you can see - my SLS, I can't find it!

OP - for my Ferrari's I have the bumper mounted Escort.

Funny, I used my EZPASS type thing in my SLS once and I didn't hear it go "beeeeep" as I went through the checkpoint. I've noticed it also doesn't seem to beep when placed in the Ghibli either (dual glazing and tint).

So...is this a "thing" in that the transponders and detectors can't cope with more modern auto-glass?

I don't have my toll passs mounted on windshield....cause...that would just look crappy... I just pick it up and hold
In lower left corner when I go through. It picks it up every time...

I have a windshield mounted valentine 1 and it works flawlessly. It's actually saved me quite a few times recently. I also have an EZpass (sun pass in FL) mounted to the right of my rear view mirror, no issues.

Wow - ours don't beep at all (NJ). They offer an 'exterior' one that looks like an old radar detector that goes on the front plate - but I don't run a front plate on the SLS.

It's reassuring when they beep because you know it worked. Otherwise, they nail you for a few extra bucks to look up your plate (from the photo) and bill you that way. What a racket.

Jeff SD

Perfect!! That's what I was hoping for 😀

I'll install my passport Monday
Do you have it mounted up by the mirror? Or lower near the dash?


Thanks

My dad has the 2014 SLS AMG Black Series and he tried to put a radar detector on and it did not work at all and he just gave up on it, they live in NJ as do I.

My V1 is lower near the dash but high enough to read out of the back windshield

I have an Escort Redline. I have it mounted under the mirror and it works fine.

Jeff SD

I had my Escort installed yesterday. Just left of the mirror, works great

NewportSLS

Yeah.... I dont think you should be on the road without it!
