Radar detectors?

97blackout · Sep 11, 2009

Are there any radar detectors that could hook up to a carputer/in-dash screen? Or how about one that's a gauge? I want/need a radar detector haha

but I don't want one that's just a standalone because I think they look tacky, anybody know of anything? Any help/input is appreciated.

Thanks

Josh

Umm my 9500IX is not tacky. You could do the built in type though.

Sorry, I guess "tacky" was probably a bad word choice there. What I meant by that is that I don't really like the idea of the dash-mount style detectors, I would prefer something more subtle, something that at first glance nobody would know it's a radar detector. But I've been reading around and the only thing I can find is the whistler fuzion, but all the other forum sites end up turning into fights between the v1 and the 9500ix (or the earlier model) and I would end up buying one of these but I would rather have it connect to my in-dash screen or mount in a gauge pod. Is there any way to do this? Or does anyone know of another-better?- radar detector that has this ability? Thank you for your help

I think I just saw an ad for the v-1 and it had a remote mount indicator you can get with it now.

Yeah. I hate to say it but the V1 sucks.

Yeah I've heard that from a few people, I'll probably go with the one you have, but some how I want to plug it in to either a gauge, or my in-dash screen or I've seen a few things for BMW's and such about putting it in the rearview mirror which would be pretty slick as well, I don't know, is there anyone out there that has done this?

To be honest with a really good one, that doesn't interface with the gauges or screen, is the 9500ci

My friend works at Centerforce. Made me a custom clutch.

Wow whats special about it?

Its the dual friction clutch that as it wears down it uses more clamping force. Also it really grips hard but yet its a great DD clutch. Oh and I have a lifetime warranty.
