Well as you all know I got the 7 and as most of you I can't drive w/out radar.

I originally hard wired the escort to the top of the windshield behind the tint strip but the window was too damn clear you could see it right through. ALSO the windows have infared reflect coating so you can only put the radar on the bottom where they cut out a square for radar detectors.

I first was skeptical so I went to my local grocery store which sets off K band and that shit NEVER WENT OFF!! when it was behind the normal infared coated part.

So I moved it to the bottom where the cut out is but it in the plan view for cops. (im in va) As I started pondering I decided to cover that shit w/ a hat!! I know I"ll loose laser detection but I could care less.

Heres some install pics:




Also I can't put stickers directly on the windshield, or it not recommneded so I went to kinko's bought a clear over head projector sheet and decided to put my 'suppor the state troopers' stickers on that . and then just slide that on the car windsheild.

btw, get rid of those dumbass police stickers! :P That shit ain't gone save yo ass.


And thanks for wiring mine for me, its PERFECT now.

 

nigga im asain, 22 years old. drivng a 7. man if a cop pulls me over he's gonna straight up beat my ass!! gotta do what you gotta do... plus never got pulled over in the TypeS w/ those sticker hehe

 

Good idea with the hat.
I did that for YEARS on my older cars before I got creative with cutting wires.

I also do that when driving rental cars or when taking long road trips in friend’s vehicles that don’t have detectors.

PS…. I really doubt those stickers work. I heard most of those places that collect “donations” never give it to the cops anyway.

 

Wierd, looks more like a 3 series to me... Nice car either way.

 

shawn, don't matter cuz i never pay them anyways. They always call and ask if i want to donate, of course I say yes, and then never send them a check

 

NOVA- are detectors illegal in virgina? Just curious because of the hat thing

 

yup illegal in DC/VA the nazi state

 

frikken VA. Commiewealth. How can it be illegal to own a radio receiver? Never understood that one. Oh well, that's why I live in GA. Nothings illegal here. :-)

 

Um, doesn't the hat cause more problems than having it mounted up high?

 

I find this very funny. Hiding a RD under a hat
When I drive through VA, I keep my V1 behind the tint strip between the winshield, & the rear view mirror.

 

Well it’s certainly going to kill the LASER reception, but should have ZERO effect on radio waves unless the hat is made of LEAD.

fuzzy i did that too on the cl-s and on the 7 for a couple days but I noticed I wasn't getting the same false alerts, and signal was greaty reduced.

also the windshield on the 7 has infared reflect coating all over it so radar no good. it also kinda absorbs or blocks the police radar

the only spot to mount a radar is on the bottom part in the middle where it has a square cut out, and since I couldn't stick it directly to the window I had to use a hat.

 

i drove thru your sweet state last monday on 95 and did not see one warning sign about rdadr detectors being illegal

used to be on every other signpost

did 90 straight thru anyway

took that new bypass around richmond too, sweet

 

You know, it's so fucked up when you don't have a right to know when the government is monitoring you without a warrant with a device as prone to errors as police radar. Total bullshit.

 

nice setup dude/ i got the bel 950 but its in view of anyone.

hat looks suspicious...

look into those detectors that are mounted in under your hood and in your trunk. my buddy had one on his 3 series and had the led light and chirp speaker mounted in the overhead console
