Maximum Performance Radar/Laser Detector

This is, by far, the best all inclusive radar I have ever had! Connected with your phone, it's unstoppable! The radar: It works great. The best performance depends all about placement. Since it's so compact, I place it above my rear-view mirror, making sure that it's below that blue tint/shade at the top. Driving in the mountainous upstate NY, it warned me of K-band and even one cop on a laser just in time, the moment the top of my car peeks over the hills. On the straight, flat NYS Thruway, it picks up signals at great distances. I've been saved from 4-5 encounters in 2 months. Paired with the iphone app and gps: Living in NYC and driving through Manhattan and Brooklyn, there are plenty of new red light cameras and speed cameras popping up these days. Not only does it have the AURA database, but there are so many user inputted cameras and speed traps that 98% of the time, I get a camera warnings. Also, areas that frequently have had confirmed signals with cops are labeled as low/med/high threat areas and you get a subtle warning to just be cautious on that particular stretch of road. The app itself: Needs a lot of tweaking. BUT, you don't really need it open at all. My routine: When turn on my car, my radar automatically connects via bluetooth and my phone gets a popup request to connect to my radar. The app automatically opens, then the compass and speed show up on the radar to confirm its connected, and then I just leave it in the background while I use my GPS app and Spotify. Connect to the app to get the benefits of camera warnings, threat warnings, and signals being picked up by others BUT dont keep the app open lol! It shows up on your radar screen anyway! False alarms: I drive in both city (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens) and highway (Long Island, Upstate NY, NJ Turnpike, NYS Thruway to New England). I use CityMAX most of the time and then I switch to Highway mode when I'm on the open road. Most importantly, set up the INTELLIMUTE! You dont need any notifications if youre in slow traffic. The moment my car goes past 2500rpms, usually 35mph, thats when I let it activate. And CMAX mutes, but still shows, signals with a strength less than 3. This is the best and most effective combination for my use. Overall: High-quality, durable, effective. Worth the extra cash. Do it, and be smart with it.
