Radar Detectors?

[BrandonSmith]

I use Waze (either through Carplay or installed on headunit). Waze stops my music to play alerts, so I don't miss any alerts. I also have a radar detector. 5/10 I'm the one adding the cops into Waze.

I drive 2,000 miles roundtrip once per month and haul ass the whole way. Both Waze and the radar detector have saved me countless times. Having said that, probably half the time there's troopers sitting in the median, they aren't running radar. YMMV

Same. I'm running Waze on my CarPlay dashboard, Escort Live on my phone mounted above the radio, and the 360c mounted below the mirror.

The combo of the three should cover all the bases as far as countermeasures are concerned since laser countermeasures are strictly prohibited in TX. ($500 fine non-moving offense first time, car impounded and potentially crushed second time)

The 360c has been much better since I fiddled with the setting. Still get some falses but significantly less Ka and K alerts.

I turned off X since the counties I normally drive in don't use them. If I go in the city proper I'll turn it back on since HPD still has 3 X band radar cars rolling around.

My main reason for need the detector is MCSD, HCSD, and TxDPS here all run ghost traffic enforcement cars like Chargers, Mustangs, and Camaros. If you're looking for normal police vehicles you're gonna get took.

So you stare at your radar detector instead?

I dont have one but if i was concerned about it the radar detector would have an audible alert... so no....

Waze has audible alerts, so no I am not constantly staring at my phone.

It was a joke

Right, As I've mentioned I use Waze as my primary nav app in CarPlay, but of the 3 actual radar equipped police cars I've seen waiting for speeders since I've bought my 360c and my Si exactly ZERO (0) of them were on Waze.

My 360c picked all of them up and allowed me to reduce my speed to the point that I wasn't monetarily feeding a machine that was built to suck the blood of actual tax paying humans just trying to get to and from work at a decent speed.

Then I entered those points into Waze so that the people coming behind me that can't afford a $650 radar detector didn't fall prey to that machine as well.

You would have gotten clipped if you relied on Waze and around here over speed tickets ain't cheap.

Maybe where you drive people are more proactive about marking threats, around here they're not. That's why I have an expensive threat detector. To keep ALL OF US out of the hot water.
