My RX65 is waiting at the post office! I will be picking it up tonight and installing it tonight. I can't wait, from what I've read they are really good.

I'm looking into one too. I work at Best Buy, so we get huge discounts off the detectors. I'm probably going to end up getting the cordless Cobra.

every radar detector can be detected.


try googling it. it has some FAQ's on it. I know www.v1.com or www.valentineone.com has a FAQ's page and says that theres is detectable .

and plus. if its not detectable, then its not working lol. it has to send out signals to get hteres and let u know .

Read this a page about radar detector detectors.

The only one sold that actually is undetectable by police currently is
BELTRONICS STi Driver Invisible to Spectre1,2,3 and VG2&4

Ya they are bad ass I'm kinda tired of seeing those damn crown Vic's anyway! i have a hard time beleiving that the chargers are a lot faster than the crown Vics though they are still built like a tank! I'm gonna decide on my radar detector this week prob be the 9500!

How much did you pay and where did you get it!

haha yeah we've got lots of chevy impala's and dodge intrepids around me. yeah the 9500i is pretty swanky, but it's got the added punch in the face ($$$) to go with it. haha. her voice IS pretty sexy though. totally kidding. the lockout false signal feature, and GPS location setter feature are pretty nice to have though....
