New Whistler 2012 Radar Detectors

Whistler has starting releasing some new radar detectors for 2012.  For 2012 they have added a new OLED Red Display which is a nice improvement over some of their past back light displays.  As we get new models in stock we will add them to our website.

The Whistler XTR-435 is their entry level unit with the new OLED Display.  At our price of only $89.95 its priced to compete with the lower end Cobra models and it is a decent performer at this price range.   Looking forward to see what else Whistler has in store for 2012.

New Anti Infrared License Plate Protectors

We just received On Tracks new IR Plate Covers and they are surprisingly completely clear.  We will have these new covers tested in the next few days and will post results.  These new plate covers work to prevent photo's of your license plates from newer Infrared Cameras.

IR Invisi-Plate Anti Infrared License Plate Protector

Designed to defeat: Photo Radar, Red Light Cameras, Toll Road Cameras, Any camera type that uses infrared recording!  Stay tuned for more information on these new covers.

Looking forward to the NJ Jammer Meet this weekend

Looking forward to meeting some new folks this weekend at the Laser Jammer meet this weekend in NJ.  Unfortunately we have been waiting patiently for the new Blinder Laser Jammer and was planning on testing it at this meet but again another date given to us has come and gone and still no new Blinder jammer.

Hopefully we will see this unit soon and I hope it will be worth the wait.  On the radar detector front I hope to be able to test some of the new radar detectors that were released from Escort & Beltronics and even Whistler had released a few new models recently.

No news on the new Cobra 2012 models which were supposed to be out before the end of Q2 which is coming up real soon.  Once more information is available and the sku's and pricing is available they will be up on our Best Radar Detector website.

New Blinder Diode Laser Jammer is on the way

For a while now there has not been much competition on the laser jammer front.  For a while its really been either sticking with the Escort ZR4 Shifter's for the easy integration with your current Escort or Beltronics radar detectors or getting a 3rd party laser jammer like the Laser Interceptor.

Blinder is finally stepping up and releasing a new Diode laser jammer which will finally add some needed competition in this product category.  So far on paper the unit looks very promising but as with all countermeasure equipment  its performance is all that counts.

Hopefully we will have a unit to play with in the next week or so and after installing and testing one we will be sure to give an honest review of this new product.  Stay tuned for more info on this product.

Laser VEIL G4 is back in stock!

For everyone that has been on B/O of Laser VEIL all orders have been shipped. I guess VEIL itself was not ready or all the early warm weather and they ran out of their own product. In any case we received our shipment and all orders have shipped.

Escort Live gives the Redline some needed improvements

The comparison between the Escort 9500ix and Escort Redline has now changed with the introduction of Escort Live.  Many have said that they now consider their Escort Redline to almost be an Redline IX.  The ability to get the better performance from the Redline and add the camera protection and lock out functions once only available on the Escort 9500ix.  If you have a Redline I would definately look into adding Escort Live and see how much better the Redline is in the city,

So what is the most sensitive Radar Detector?

Well even with the release of the new Beltronics Magnum which added a huge performance boost over the original Beltronics STi Driver radar detector, We still would choose the Escort Redline over the new Sti Magnum.  Both radar detectors use the same platform and offer the same features but rumors are there will be an update for the Escort Redline which will add band segmentation (Currently available on the high end custom installed Sti-R Plus) which will give the Redline an advantage.  We are not sure if they plan to also give this feature to the new Magnum.

Many people have been requesting that Escort add Band Segmentation for a few years now on their windshield mounted line and Escort has acknowledged that they were listening.  When this update comes it would definately push the Escort Redline into the Best Radar Detector slot when looking at performance.
