I'm running the ****** 9500ix hardwired with the external control mounted into the cubby next to the cig. lighter. I am not sure why it doesn't work good for you JK, It works for me all the time and saved me from large tickets (I usually go 90-105MPH on highway) and it even saved me when I was maxing out my Hoe at 111MPH (I will upload a pic of my GPS max speed reading as proof later tonight)

Well, its a Garmin and just saves the "max speed"
That was with 3 passengers (All 200-250 Pounds each and a full tank of gas)

So if my math is correct:

4 People = 900ish pounds
2 Alpine Type R in box: 45.2 pounds
full tank of gas: (26.0 gal tank @ 6ish lbs a gallon) use 24.5 gallons because I used some driving: 147lbs

Total additional weight in Tahoe: 1092 pounds


Here it is as proof:

I was at my local audio shop and there was a guy who travels from NC or SC to GA all the time and he had some deal where it let him know he about the radar, where it was at. He could hit a button that would i guess block (jam) the laser and not show the cop a speed. The guys said it was a pricey unit but had me thinking. Is this what you have blackdenali?

Love that K40 Black, I am looking into getting one...but I think I'm getting the new Viper 5902 first. For now I am loving my Valentine 1, the arrows are great...

I don't understand how a radar "blocker" would be effective. Cops generally only gun people who look like they are speeding. If a cop thinks you are speeding and guns you and receives no speed on the gun, wouldn't they think something suspicious is going on? I understand they can't pull you over for suspicion, however I wouldn't be surprised if they made guns to block a radar blocker in the future if they become more common.

I don't see them becoming common as they require professional installation and are all over $500 range for years now. They do provide another layer of protection due to the cop unable to secure a radar reading on your car and makes it easier to fight the ticket
