The one any only time the Lidatek laser jammer I installed in my E46 clearly saved me was on I-87 North, on my way to Montreal for the F1 GP. I was getting close to, or just beyond triple digits when both it and my V1 went nuts with laser warning. I slammed on the brakes, and by the time he shot me a second time after his failed, jammed first shot, I was in quasi-legal territory. That must have been like 11 or 12 years ago.

give us a review after you've tried it for a while. I'm very interested how it handles blind spot warnings for Acuras, Buicks, and similar systems.

I definitely will ... I bought it from a place that has a 60 return policy in case I found it gives off too many false warnings I can always return it |

Be sure to take the time to mark all your local falsies, after a few days of staying on top of it, it should stay quiet

With the 9500ix, I didn't have to mark them as false...just drive by them a few times and it took care of it by itself. Unfortunately, it would also begin ignoring stationary photo radar sites and I'd have to unmark them repeatedly.

First radar detector purchase in well over 20 years ... first big downside... this thing doesn't have a battery ?!?! I have to keep it plugged into a cigerette lighter ... am I reading the directions wrong ??
It looks like the lighter plug allows a usb but come on ... nowadays they don't come with a battery that you can charge ?? Please tell me I'm missing something here |

Batteries? When did they have batteries? Just hardwire it.
