Radar detectors?
(Hope Im using the right forum)

Radar detectors.....??
I was just thinking that now I have ordered my 500 I may want to get a radar detector

Does anyone have recommendations ?? Does anyone have theirs installed so its not very visible?

Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks.

Get a V1 and they have remote setup too. Go to their website and check to see if that what's you want. It's either ValentineOne.com or whatever.

valentine 1 is definitely the best, k40 is good too if you want something stealth. the k40 is really expensive to get installed though, the v1 you can just mount it and get a remote display

the v1 with the remote is the best option for your money.

Is the K40 still the same K40 as three years ago?

I have seen postings by Ted Baldwin who has a radar detector installed in his rearview mirror. See these threads:
