Radar and Laser detection

If you’re looking to participate in a high speed rally or simply want to stay informed about potential traffic speed enforcement ahead, we offer a variety of advanced radar detection technologies to suit your needs. Our top-tier systems are exclusively from Escort, known for their exceptional performance and reliability. Choosing between different systems largely depends on your preferences—whether you prefer simplicity or a more comprehensive solution.

For basic radar detection, Escort systems are highly rated and include laser detection capabilities. The choice of detector can also depend on your vehicle type, as some cars may require specialized equipment to prevent false alerts due to their built-in features. In particular, vehicles from brands like Infiniti, Ferrari, Mercedes, and certain Audis may benefit from additional EMI shielding to minimize interference. This may necessitate extra time and labor during installation, although such situations are relatively rare.

Certain models (like select Infinitis with laser cruise) can experience interference that can be addressed with specific detectors. Additionally, some vehicles require specialized filters to manage false alerts from lane change sensors and proximity radar; Escort systems can be equipped to handle these scenarios effectively.

It’s also important to note that cars with auto start-stop systems may need an additional regulated power supply for optimal performance of the radar detector.

There are various mounting options available for radar detectors, including mirror mounts or built-in solutions. Given that we operate in California, it’s crucial to adhere to local regulations. Radars can be used legally in California, with exceptions such as federal property and military bases. For stand-alone units, a mirror mount is recommended, as California law prohibits placement on the windshield. Utilizing a BlendMount allows for optimal positioning just below the rearview mirror, ensuring both effective signal reception and compliance with the law.

Please be aware that while many systems offer laser diffusers or shifters, these features are not legal in California. The systems we provide are designed exclusively for laser detection, ensuring you remain compliant with California regulations. You can activate additional features when traveling in states where they are permitted.

Detecting the laser used by law enforcement to monitor speed is critical. Having an appropriately mounted detector is essential, as this is one of the primary methods traffic enforcement uses to measure speed. Early detection of the laser beam can be your best defense against a speeding ticket.

If you have any questions or need assistance in selecting the right radar system for your vehicle, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you!
