New MDX Sport Hybrid Radar detector question (please don’t kill me)

Hey Guys,

bought a 19 genesis g70 2.0 turned out to be a terrible experience and they car was a 🍋.

Yesterday I got a smoking deal on an MDX. Anyways I knew going into it my escort max was going to go nuts in it.

What radar detector can can I use in this car that’s not going to go crazy with k band (some cops run k in Illinois so turning it off is not an option)

so far what ive gathered is the

rodenseo pro m is the only one I think is safe but there has to be more.

Can you tune your current detector to not use the bands that the MDX uses? I know the Valentine V1 allows you to tune

Whats up moderator. The V1 does indeed allow individual bands to be enabled / disabled, but for the V1 it affects whole bands, i.e. he either shuts off or turns on K band in its entirety. It sounds like the OP needs a detector that manages selective disabling of portions of the K band or perhaps some kind of false alert filtering.

I ended up updating my escort max 2 and it was fine. I’m in the Midwest and cops still run k band in Illinois so deleting the whole band is not an option

Have you tried using your radar with the ACC/CMBS turned off? It could be the other vehicles on the road with radar causing the issue also?

Did the same with my 19 MDX Hybrid! Felt the chrome look more luxury than sporty for the sh-sh-awd.

Your MDX looks great, Congratulations! If you want a tip get rid of the dealer logos from the plates, it'll look a lot cleaner that way.

I think so too, however the dealer did such a great job I’m going to leave them I think, or ask them if they have black ones

I was going to wrap; but, most places said the wrap might only last for months before it starts to slowly peel around the tight areas like the door handles. The plastic dip is a little more heat resistant around the exhaust outlets compared to wrap. I figured folks plastic dip rims and that last for years. I also did a badge delete only leaving the Acura symbol on the front and rear. Doing the chrome delete seemed to darken up the fathom blue pearl a shade compared to having the chrome trim. Debating about doing a black wrap on the roof between the roof rails to help to protect it in the southwestern sun. It would be similar to a fathom blue pearl version of the Acura PMC MDX without the Aspec kit.

This was a horrible experience. I hope i never have to go through that.
The thing that bothered me the most, is the massive risk they were willing to take with YOUR safety.
