A Great Radar Detector

I love my new radar detector. It alerts me of speed trap zones and red light cameras. I recommend buying this detector.

Great detector, but it picks up everything. never sure if it is a radar gun or something else? Might have to read up on it a little more

Excellent radar/laser detector, with a few things to note.  I have been using this detector in-town for the past few weeks, and also recently took it on a 1,400-mile road trip. Here are my observations:

General:  The unit is a little large and conspicuous.  I have it mounted next to a Roadhawk HD dash cam, which tends to hide it a little better.  Fortunately, if you are inclined to dismount the detector in a hurry, it slides off the magnetic/friction mount very easily.  The built-in GPS shows your speed which is a great plus in that when you receive an alert and look at the unit, you also see your speed.  An upgraded Smart Cable and a subscription will also display the current speed limit.  The Smart Cable that comes with the unit has a built-in mute button at the DC receptacle, so you don't have to reach up to the detector to quiet it down.  However, that same receptacle has a very bright blue power-on light that is blinding at night.  I bought a DC outlet extension so I don't have to stare at that blue light.  It's so bright that you may want to consider black electrical tape over it!

Local use:  As you might expect, use around town is limited due to the constant false K-band and X-band alarms.  However, the unit does a great job of identifying these false sigals, and after a few times driving by them, it stores and auto-mutes them.  This is a great fetaure that adds to the usefullness of this detector in a non-highway setting.

Highway use:  This detector is very sensitive for oncoming radar/laser signals.  Many trucks that you pass seem to emit a false K-band signal, which I have yet to figure out.  However, the "real" oncoming signal is obvious because of its steadiness and strength, even  of a mile out.  The achilles heal of this (and most) detectors is the officer's signal that gets you from behind.  If I had put too much faith in this unit and not been using Waze, there's a chance I would have been tagged twice on my long road trip, despite using this detector.  The problem is if the officer is the on-ramp of an overpass (i.e., the ramp coming onto the highway in your direction), they will get you from behind.  This detector gave me no clear indication whatsoever that a police trap was there until it was too late.  And even that was a faint false-signal type alarm.  The other incident was with an officer in a forest of trees, also pointing down-flow.  No indication, and then only a faint signal as I was just past the office.  Thanks to Waze users for pointing out these traps.

Summary.  So, based on my experience, I have to say that this detector is useful, but you still have to be careful.  At this price, I wasn't sure what to expect.  I was rather disappointed by my two incidents, but not sure the results would have been any different with other detectors.

The XRS 9545 is the first radar detector I've ever bought. It is a relatively cheap detector, but it works. The best thing about it is that it has a lot of settings the user can tinker with. The XRS 9545 is good enough for someone like me who was looking to see how a radar detector works, and learn how the different features radar detectors offer. I would not recommend it to a hardcore driver, because it does pop a lot of false alarms. The good news, though, is based on my  location, surroundings, and the low signal strength of false alarms, they are usually easy to identify.

With it's on-board GPS and and it's ability to update 1,000s of traffic and speed trap locations on line. This the the only Radar dedector that I have owened that keeps working to server long after you take it out of the box.  You can even customize it with known traps in your area, mark those locations, and update them so others in your area that where smart enough to buy this will be alerted as they approach the marked location.  False alarms,  although not completely eleminated, are greatly redcued.  Great product, great purchase, and a great recommendation.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Escort-Passport-9500ix-Radar-Laser-Detector-Black/dp/B001F0RPGG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Escort Passport 9500ix Radar/Laser Detector (Black)</a>

People say you get what you pay for, but not in this case. I have tried the cheap detectors in the $20-30 range and have been disappointed. I recently had a $200 radar detector but it broke and I needed a replacement. I didn't want to spend the money but knew that the cheap ones wouldn't work. So, I figured, what the hell, and I bought this one and gave it a try. It has outperformed all of my expectations and saved me lots of $$$ on potential speeding tickets. Yes, I drive just a little fast....Anyway, great price, great features, great detector. It has already paid for itself in potential fines, peace of mind, and travel time.

I have used the Beltronics Rx65, the Escort Passport 9500ix and now the Max 360. This radar is a bit pricy than the other grades, but clearly catches the Ka band from far distance and also mutes K bands that seems to be coming out of speed control from high class automobiles. In comparing with the 9500ix, it has far less false alerts therefore, is much quiet during the drive. Also, it is helpful to see where the radar is coming from. This is the big difference from the Max, Max2 or the New IX., I was at first considering to buy the IX but Amazon's price for the 360 was a discount, thus the new IX did not have the inexpensive mirror holder. Anyhow, I am quite satisfied with the new Max 360. The only thing is that the size is much wider than the 9500ix.

This radar detector seems to do just as good a job as the one that we bought that cost over $300. Highly recommend this one.

Works as advertised.  It is a bit bigger than I was expecting, it's about the size of a flattened golf ball, and fairly thick.  The battery it uses is also fairly thick, but hopefully that means it will last.

My only complaint about the device is that it does not warn you if it loses a signal to the radar detector, which would be nice.  My detector has an issue in this regard, but it may not affect others.

I can assure you all that unless someone is shining a laser in your eyes, the LED is bright enough.

If you read Radar Roy's review of this device, he forgets to mention that he's the manufacturer of the device.  His assessment is fair, I think, but FYI.

Picks up police radar within about 2 miles.  Good value for the money.

Best detector I have ever purchased. Works really well with my blue tooth. It picks up active radars from a little over 5000 feet.  I strongly recommend this product.

"SAME" county code entry helps to limit alerts to only those events and localities that could actually pose a hazard, and it actually works very well!  If you've been dissatisfied with the poor performance or unwanted alerts from older, poorer-quality weather radios, you will find this Sangean CL-100 a welcome improvement.  The FM reception is excellent, and the sound quality is surprisingly good for such a small radio; not "room-filling" but still very listenable for music, and clear for voice.  AM reception llacks sensitivity and has noticeable 60 hz hum on much of the band, but in many areas, there is little to listen to on AM.  It's hard to imagine a compact AM/FM/Weather Radio that would be any better.

Does a good job at detecting laser and radar. Uniden should work on a smart cord for mute and volume control

The Valentine One has a very loyal following. I've been thinking of a radar detector for years but never needed one when I lived in San Francisco. Socal is a whole different story. Radar everywhere. This detector has been called the chicken little of detectors because it tends to be very sensitive. With time you learn when the threats are real. Works as promise and best on the freeway were there isn't much in the way of things to cause false alarms. The arrows are the thing that make it worth having over other detectors. Valentine also will update the hardware and software so you don't have to buy a new detector every time new technology is developed. I hard wired it very easily into both my cars. The price on Amazon is a bit high, but a call to the vendor ended up with a fair price adjustment.

I purchased this to use on our annual trip from PA to NC and it worked great!  Remember, all detectors work only if radar/lasers are being used.  This does not pick up the very low frquency radar used by PSP, but many radar detectors do not anyway.  I like that once a signal is detcted, it automatically uses the auto-mute  function, which lowers the sound.  I would recommend this detector, especially for the amount!

This radar out preformed all my escort radars, actually lasted over a year unlike the escort radars I've had, and had way fewer false alarms. Range is excellent and red-light database is fairly accurate in both California and Colorado. Highly recommended
