Can you use this for a radar detector
2013135
Linda, I'm uncertain if you can use this for a radar detector. What I do know is if your radar detector comes with a suction cup base then I would certainly think it would work. The round bases are made of very hard plastic or Bakelite and is made for a suction type of attachment that ultimately holds articles that you place upon it. Mine worked great for a GPS. Hope this explanation helps you.

If it has a suction cup mount you could use a style like this, but I would not recommend this particular one as I bought two and neither were flat enough for the suction to stay- they let air in.

I do not know. Most radar units have 2 small suction cups and would not fit to the single round plate on this.

Not sure if it would work for a radar detector. It is for use with one large suction cup, if I remember correctly most radar detectors have 2 small cups and I think it would be to wide for the suction surface. Hope this helps

Yes this will work for the single suction cup dash mount i have one of those and it works great!

Yes, as long as your Radar detector can stick to a plain surface. If it does not stick to a plain plastic surface then it wont stick to the mount as well. hope this helps

I do not have a radar detector. I do not need one. But, I suspect the NAVGEAR UDM will work to keep your radar detector device in place on the dash. If not, just slow down and avoid the alternative. :)

No, it will alarm at the detector to warn you. however you will not be able to tell what band of radar it is detecting. I run mine quite frequently without the Cobra app running.

Based on my experience with the product I doubt it would. The radar needs a clean line of site, and you basically have to come close to hitting it to get a reading.

It will If the cruiser has a radar unit in it and if the unit is turned on and sending out radar emissions..Police radar units are dash mounted and have a circular or horn antenna aimed down the road in front of them and also behind them it it has two antennas,one in the front and one in the back. They also have radar guns that can be operated from their side windows on occasion but can also be dash mounted. Radar detectors only pick up traffic radar emissions not the cruiser or anything in it other then a operating traffic radar. Police can also turn off their radar and wait for a speeder to come in sight and then turn it on before you have time to slow down even with a radar detector. Luckily they often do not do this but be aware of hills or curves where police often hide with their radar either on or off as a blind cuve or hill will allow little warning for even the best radar detector. In these cases slow down before you approach them. Police radar can be used "on the move" which is often their preferred mode of operation. They drive in the far left passing lane with either their radar on ,which is pretty easy to find,or off in "stand by" and trigger their radar when they see a person going above the speed limit moving toward them. They can also do this with speeding vehicles coming up behind them but they don't do it when they moving very often. Hope this is helpful. Feel free to ask any other questions you have about this topic.

It's my understanding that all radar detectors are illegal in France. Regardless of whether they are used or not, police there may confiscate radar detectors, operational or not, and impose substantial fines. So will it detect in France, yes as the French Police are likely using K or Ka or Laser or Lidar technology to detect speed. Would I use one in France...probably not worth the risk.

The device can be connected via Bluetooth to your phone for music or making calls. I presume one can also connect to other devices via Bluetooth the same way. When an incoming call comes in, it overrides the intercom function (which goes back to intercom after call ends). I would presume it may work the same way with any alerts coming from a radar detection device. Just my 2 cents worth, though not sure if it helped. The following is the link to the Uclear webpage where you can get better clarity to your question http://www.uclear-digital.com/en/Contact#first_name

if the radar detection device is bluetooth, then yes. Valentine One has a bluetooth connection to the iPhone, so it might be something that can be done.

Its good at speed traps, but I don't think any radar is for detecting red light camera lights. You can actually see them on top of the red light.

I don't see a audio output socket on the unit. I would not buy this unit again, or any other radar detector. The police, at least where I live, are using "instant on" guns. So, by the time the detector goes off you're done. If you are lucky, maybe the guy ahead of you triggered the unit and you will get away without being stopped. It does do a lot of false responses from the radar on auto opening doors. Not recommended.

Yes, the detector gives different sounding codes based on the type of 'radar' being utilized. There's also a voice recorded in the unit to tell you what it is. So you'll get something like "beep, beep, beep, K-Band" or "... X-Band" or "KA-band" or "Laser Alert". It is, to my knowledge and from my experience with the device, 360 degrees of detection with the possible exception of laser. I think the laser is somewhat limited to a wide front angle and a wide rear angle. Obviously since laser is a light-based wave, the side of the car may be interfering with the device's ability to sense it. I hope this was useful.

No, you need a Spektrum receiver for that. This is only for Tactic radio systems.

Yes because it is going to use the same attachment that is use to attach the detector to the windshield. You will need to remove the suction cups and attach the windshield mount to the MirrorMount. It will work perfect.

The answer to your question also varies. If the laser or radar can't read your speed, then your detector may not be able to detect it either. I have driven on rural roads, highways, hill country and where I live and drive, mostly Houston is flat. I have had this detector for over a year and it has never failed me so far. You won't be disappointed. I have always been alerted much before I am able to see the cop, giving me ample time to slow down.

I really dont know because all i use my radar gun far is to check the speed of rc boats out on the water and it works fine for me for that sorry i could not be of any help. db.

While I haven't tried it with this unit in particular, I've had success with other units by cutting the adaptor, splicing a wire, and using a vampire jumper connector on the circuit board. That,s how I have my radar detector powered.

Yes, this unit have 360 degrees of detection for radar but I really don't know if it is the same for the laser!
