That or I would get a remote detector where I could put the eye wherever I please. (front bumper, license plate, roof, etc) and just have the reader/control unit up there....

That's right, with todays radars it only goes off after you have already been clocked anyway.

You would be better off getting a CB radio and tune to channel 19, those truckers will let you know where they are hiding, plus it's legal in Va also.

so true, they're only a good warning if you're following a few quick moving vehicles then you have time to react...

don't even bother with anything that "jams", "blocks", or "scrambles" the radar signal, they're useless

Untrue.... bought a CHEAP one from Carolina a couple years ago and it worked flawlessly! It would go off a mile-mile 1/2 EVERY MORNING on the way to work before the cop was even in sight. I would turn down the beeper, slow down and cruise by the cop with the red light on the detector glowing like hell..... Saved my *** MORE than once.

i agree.. i use to have to drive down 31 to Indianapolis almost weekly when my son had his heart surgery... ive never seen so many cops on 1 stretch of road...and my radar detector would go off well before the cop or myself could see each other countless times was the guy next to me pulled over.. but i never was...

it's probably easier to fab one as they're $80 and they only fit 2 brands of detectors... valentine and escort
