Any radar detector experts in here?

I'd like to find out for a friend, where can he buy one & if there are any recommended brands?

Thanks,

TF

Neltronics is the main distributor, but I'm not sure if they actually sell them.

I know that Audiocom in Morley sell them, and that they recently had a good sale price on them.

I like the Bel Vector series. The detectors that are installed into the car (sensors placed in bumper grille), while hidden, are known to fail regularly.

the main distributor in perth is radars.com.au if im not wrong. i would recommend the whistler pro. i hv a bel vector myself, i wont say its very good it works alrite but apprantely the whistler pro works twice as good for a fraction of the price..

i dont believe in radar detector after using it for just under two years.. keep both eyes open or just.. DONT SPEED :P

but do check out radars.com.au

I had a Bel Vector a few years back. Sent it in for repairs through Ozcom, and they promptly lost it. Never got a replacement, never got money back, too expensive to buy another. But it had served its purpose, and saved me when I was a more aggressive driver.

Police have radar detector detector's.

However, you could foil them by buying a Radar Detector Detector Detector. They detect any radars, and also radar detector detectors, but only if the radar detector detector isn't a radar detector detector detector detector, as then it will detect your radar detector detector detector.

BUT...

You see you could THEN buy a Radar detector detector detector detector detector which........

...oh FFS nevermind.

is there an actual fine for having a radar detector

If I remember correctly, it is legal to have a radar detector in WA, don't think you can in the other states though

In nsw i believe the fines are in the 1000's and they will confiscate the detector..someone correct me if im wrong?

That's why you need a radar detector detector detector.

I think one of the new Decepticons in the next Transformers movie is a Radar Detector actually.

Correct repeat offenders often get jail sentences too so I hear

just gotta know when to speed and when to do the limit ;) pay attention to traffic up ahead, if they slow down etc etc, in the 2 years i've had my license and the whole time i've been meaning to get a detector, i've only been pulled over once, 70 in a 50 zone, undercover xr6 turbo, white. Cops wearing casual clothing :P i think if u want to avoid all cops/radars altogether u need to pay the big $$ and get top of the range?

The only radar detector at the moment that is undetectable is the beltronics sti. Was looking at getting one myself. Around $600-$700. However after I found out about the penalties I passed :P

Fines about $1000, 8 demerit points and confiscate the radar detector. Wish I lived in the W.A :(

      Thanks, Mate - i'll give it a go. As you say, $15 is better than replacing a damaged headlight (not to mention the aggravation).

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      That's a dual-cab tub, much shorter than the single-cab. It's also an 8th-gen Hilux tub, the OP has a 7th-gen @rckly Redbook seems to show the single-cab tub was available in the 2WD low-rider spec, for the high-rider/4WD it came as king-cab or dual cab only (cab-chassis available for all shapes and sizes)

      Toyota Landcruiser problems

      Hi This is not so much to the forum but to Toyota who i cannot contact!! Purchased new 300 Landcruiser ($120k) & generally happy with the drive but frustrated with fixing problems. bonnet need restuffing took me 5 Toyota dealerships & a lot time i cannot afford for a 3 day job afer it had been booked into Heidelberg & on collection did not perform the stuffing to stock it shaking & reflecting strong sun light into drivers eyes when vehicle was clean. when i collected vehicle from overnight service (2 days) after 2nd visit with some booking confusion they told me they need vehicle for 3 days just prior to me driving from Melbourne to Flinders rangers SA again very costly in time to me because a bolt had fallen out of turbo charger (20k klm). i have had a list if issues none of the 5 Toyota dealerships visited can resolve: no guests can close the rear hatch because you need to slam it & most do not have the strength even if they new what to do - seal has been replaced. i have never been able to understand logic of why no rear hatch release was included in vehicle, 1st vehicle i have owned without boot release? no location for key apart from centre console where key is lost amongst so many items unable to reverse any trailer, boat or horse float as vehicle brakes & locks up which is dangerous to horses being thrown & reversing into drive with traffic on a busy road - every possible idea has been suggested again very expensive on my time but no one can resolve! Unable to get google maps or music without plugging cord into phone - very aged technology but safari same vehicle does not need cord!! do not understand this logic other than justifying another $20k Radio or music must be reloaded after each phone call or restarting vehicle - some 6-8 buttons to reload music - very frustrating. AM 3AW is muffled & very poor quality (not my hearing). Alarm of beeping drivers door cannot be turned off - i do not need vehicle to alarm warning me of drivers door open as i am the one who purposely have left door open - very frustrating & no need for alarm beeping, cannot turn this off!! Ordered dark interior but got light interior ?? which i accepted on the condition the carpet was not light beige, guess what it was. Why would a country farm 4 wheel drive have white carpet? Toyota what are you thinking? i have a black cattle working dog so my rear interior is trashed & the fabric entraps dog hair unlike a good quality wool carpet, poor quality synthetic which is not serviceable like previous BMW quality. i would love Toyota direct (not dealerships / agents who are not trained) to help me resolve direct. Direct contact with Toyota not possible, customer service from dealerships disappointing based on cost of vehicle, i believe i am a very reasonable person.

      Fuel Filter - Change or not

      This is the conundrum: 200 series Landcruiser diesel. As the fuel filter get dirtier, in theory it is filtering more as it is becoming somewhat restrictive. As long as the fuel pressure remains the same on the other side, should you change the filter. I know of owners who change their fuel each time they change engine oil. This is not the same as an air filter which as it get dirty it restrict the air flow. Or do you simply change the filter because it's 'the right thing to do'?
