Radar Detectors for Your RC
By Jeffrey Bausch

Tired of getting tickets in your Lexus RC? Get a radar detector instead. The following are some of the better-reviewed models to choose from.

 

Uniden R7. I love this thing used windshield suction mount for a while until it kept falling (both in extreme heat and blistering cold weather). Now I use the blendmount. It's mega sturdy! Far more reliable. Tapped into the mirror. Super easy to do. Took all of 1 minute to tap and took 10 mins to get the Blendmount positioned exactly how I wanted it to be leveled and aimed. Super easy.

 

I have the R3 mounted the same way. I ran a Passport for years and still do on my motorcycle. I have a Led plugged into the audio output as well. That way you get your warning when my ML sound is tacked up high.

 

I mount a V1 Gen2 to the right of the mirror, at the top of the windshield, with a remote display on the dash at the far left, so it's easy for me to see and mute. With this setup, the display on the main unit is dark, which is nice. I think I got the 12v switched power from inside the center light module, but I'm not sure. That was a while ago, and I've done this in a lot of cars.

 

I’ve used Valentine Ones for decades in my cars and on my motorcycles. Saved me thousands over the years, I can’t remember the last time I got a speeding ticket.

 

dude me either. This thing has saved my *** so many times! People always say “i can’t deal with the noise it makes”… umm, okay, no point in having a detector if it doesn’t actually get your attention.

 

I can't deal with the tickets I would get.

 

That's why I have an LED soldered to a 3.5mm audio plug where I get a good blink when it goes off.
Then glance down at the display to see what's what.
I have the same setup on my motorcycle, being you can't hear it in the first place. I've been running radar
detectors since there beginning. Several decades. They do work.
