Any Good cloaking devices out there?

I need to get my hands on a Radar/ Lazer Jammer one that can't be detected in VA, being as though i'll be getting stationed there soon. I have heard of technology that will scramble lazers causing State Troopers to go APE Sh_T when they shoot you. I really believe you need both Lazer and Radar due to the fact that you will never know what is clocking you. Any insight will be deeply appreciated, thanks in advance.

there are a plethora of laser jammers out there, however the problem is two fold. no one makes a radar jammer. if they tell you they do then they lie.... here in the states, you can jam laser (light). if you try and jam radar(radio wave) then bad news. that is the department of the FCC. second problem is having a radar detector detector, which is what the boys in blue have. so, even if you have a jammer they will still detect that you have a detector. if youre going to do one still............ then let me suggest that you have it hard wired/ permanently installed with kill switch so they cant take it. you will then just have to pay fine. good luck. keep up informed on what works and what doesnt. last time i was there i got a ticket for 7 over. i couldnt believe it.

edit: sorry for the poor grammar. it always seems to happen after a few beers..... who da thunk it??

Ok thanks Chuck, I have heard of front and rear bumper installations. Lets talk lazer first, i'm thinking that if i am able to send back an inaccurate speed reading to the boys in blue they will instantly hit me again, so the initial hit that I receive I need to use that to slow back down to normal speeds. If I was to fail to do just that, than on the second hit if they still get an inaccurate reading they will pull me over anyway. As far as the detection of my lazer blinder or jammer whatever you wish to call it I really don't know if I can make it invisible. Now radar is something totally else, I need something that will give me ample advance notice before running into the Kill Zone and on top of that I need it to be invisible and like you had mentioned earlier fitted to my vehicle or hard wired so that they cant take it. I guess I could make this less painful for me by just not speeding but that's not going to happen. There has to be someone out there who has beat the system through trials and tribulation I just haven't found that person LOL. Sorry for the long post Bro and thank You for your time. Ranger Out!

Thank you, I guess before one starts to invest all kinds of dollars they should have a thorough understanding of the technology available.

good luck. In my opinion radar/laser detectors are never reliable. The uniforms can catch you simply by the PACE method if they really want you. Its very hard to beat a speeding ticket in the cars we drive. Just got keep you eyes or slow down.

I just got a Blinder M25 and Whistler DE-3500 installed on my recently acquired SL55 (the same setup on my XJR). These things work soo great together. I didnt get a single ticket for the duration of ownership in my XJR or since I got them installed on the SL55. I believe the Whistler DE-3500 has the VG2 stealth or whatever, where it turns off if it detects a radar detector detector.

Paid $200 for the Whistler and like $400 for the Blinder. The install should run you about $100 for each on the highside, putting you at $800 tops.

Fair investment for drivers like us

Being stationed at Damneck Va, I used many of times that I just got recalled and are shipping out...

However I just installed the K-40 laser defuser ex2 on the range rover and I like it. Last week I was going down aside street at about 45 mph, and it is a 25mph construction zone. the unit went off and i was like WTF... I thought it was broke because I never thought the possibility of the cops actually shooting laser. I started to slow when i actually seen him. about 3 houses away, actually i was slowing for the traffic light. I looked over at him and he was repositioning his unit on his dash... I LMAO.

Now i know va and pa have a ban on radar detectors, and the cops use radar detector - detectors, but there is a thing that some radar detectors come with called a VG2 cloak. which is supposed to hide it from the cops radar detector - detector gun. I don't drive there so i don't know how well it works.

The new EX2 unit from K-40 is nice and small also compared to the previous model of the jammer i had, I had the old one on the range also and never got a laser ticket, or a radar. and trust me i speed everywhere, and have to run a gauntlet of city cops on the highway trying to milk us for more money because the city mis-managed their funds. I used to have the blinders also, and the ZR2 escort.... the escort I think was better than the blinder only because it had the rear sensor, but to be honest, I had to talk myself out of 2 tickets, and it always seemed they got a reading.

At least when i drive now, i can see the cop after the warnings go off look up at the vehicle and re shoot... at least once a week. I have to laugh at that, plus the guy last week repositioning his unit. Sure i am sure I will eventually get a ticket, but I can at least say I have been saved over 500 X so far with the K-40. I'll sell the unit after a year to one of my friends and buy a new one for the ticket payout guarantee. Yep they pay your tickets for a year if you get any, no one else does it. And the funny thing is that the K-40 unit is competitively priced to the other units out there, actually I think it is cheaper than the blinder? I used to get in all the Pee'ing contests about who's is better and what not, but I always find that every other product out there is better but no one will pay your ticket like K-40... So I look at it like this, there not. And yeah, they do pay out because my buddy just got nailed with a radar ticket using the K-40 portable in the window type. He said the cop was hiding with no lights o at the side of the road.

I can only second that! Very happy with the built in K40, save me multiple times even in Virginia. I am not sure how detecable or how stealthy it is, but nobody came after me after it went off! I am not at 500X but probable at 100x!

Its still in the bodyshop, should be ready at the end of next week, now my CL55 is blowing black carbon all over the place. Over my exhaust tips all over my bumper, maybe I have bad engine seal and gaskets???

HAAHAHAHA!! Oh man, my laser jammer saved my *** today:

Heading to school, exited the highway @ ~55mph (in 35), hear the alarm go off, look at the jammer LED (its red), slow down, look up, see the cops (1 with gun, 1 standing next to him), flip the jammer off, the cop looks up from his gun with the most puzzled look EVAR (PRICELESS!!), I pass and look in my rearview mirror, they are both still stairing at me ROFL..

Got off the hook right there! I got a ticket 2 semesters ago (before I got the jammer on my other car) in the same spot, exiting the same ramp at the same speed so it was nice revenge God bless Blinder
