Cobra iRadar IRAD 105 Radar Detector for Android Phones

On 4/15 Cobra shipped the new version of the iPhone for Android devices.  This is a much requested product and we hope to have them in stock any day now.  We have added the product to our site and you can order them now if you want to be one of the first to get one.  Visit the following page for more details on this product Cobra iRadar iRad 105 Radar Detector.

Escort Passport iQ Radar Detector

Another new product that we are very excited about is the new Passport iQ radar detector.  Escort has once again created a new and unique product.  We have always had customers ask if they could connect their radar detectors to their gps units and Escort has done just that with the new Escort Passport iQ.  The iQ if a full portable navigation unit with a full radar detector in one unit.  Now not only can you get your laser and radar alerts but you can see on the map the locations of red light and fixed speed cameras while you are given door to door directions!  This is a game changer for the industry!

Beltronics Sti-R Plus is finally here

We have been waiting for the Beltronics Sti-R Plus for over a year and its finally here.  The Beltronics Sti-R Plus takes off where the old Sti-R left off.  The original Sti-R was a great unit with incredible range and was the perfect stealth unit.  The Bel Sti-R Plus however adds a gps antenna for marking and ignoring false alerts and also for advanced warning of red light cameras and fixed speed cameras.  The new model also offers TSR which is needed for those that travel on highways in major citys and are tired off all the false alerts from those traffic sensors. 
We will get one installed soon and we will report back with a test drive... I cant wait!

Compare Escort 8500x50 and Beltronics RX65

We get this question daily and both these detectors the Escort 8500x50 and the Beltronics RX65 share the same antenna and performance is almost identical. Escort & Beltronics merged quite some time ago and their newer detectors share the same technology but there are usually slight feature differences between the models.

When coming to these two models we like the Beltronics RX65 better because you get more detector for the same price. The Beltronics RX65 radar detector adds Voice Alerts and also supports the international KU Band. Voice alerts in my opinion make a detector much less annoying when an alert goes off since it will beep to get your attention and then tell you in a voice what band it is picking up. I like this much better than just a constant beeping tone.

As far as the KU Band is concerned there is no KU Band radar guns used in the US or Canada but if you travel internationally its worth having. When both detectors are priced the same it only makes sense to get the Beltronics RX65 in our opinion.

New Cobra iRadar Radar Detector

Cobra has been quiet lately and then all of a sudden they announce the new Cobra iRadar a new type of radar detector designed for iPhone users. I have to save the iphone app is very slick.

It is still relatively new and we have not tested the performance on this new unit yet. Once we take a test drive with it we will report back. When looking at features its packed with features including red light and fixed camera locations, all band radar and laser detection, and lots of other goodies.

Move Over Law (New Law in some states)

With the economoy still struggling and deficits rising a trend seems to be emerging with more and more tickets being written. There is a law which over 71% of americans dont know exists.

Its Called the Move Over Law, If a patrol car or emergency vehicle is pulled over to the side of the road with their lights flashing, you have to change to the next lane (away from the stopped vehicle) or slow down by 20 mph. Every state except Hawaii , Maryland, NY and D.C. has this law and the fines are not cheap.

"More than 150 U.S. law enforcement officers have been killed since 1997 after being struck by vehicles along America's highways, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund," according to information posted on the group's Web site, "www.moveoveramerica.com.

Just be aware of this law and use common sense when passing a patrol car or emergency vehicle on the side of the road. If you do not change lane or slow down by 20 MPH it could cost you a ticket as high as $500 or more.
