Depending on your budget really determines what unit to go for.
If you are a bit tight on money Beltronics have a new entry level unit V940 otherwise the escort 9500i which is a fantastic unit would be the ultimate choice. I use the 9500i in my own vehicle.

PM me if you want more information and prices.

Use PWRX as coupon code in the checkout process for $50 discount = $474.95 USD which is around $517 AUD (delivered).

Also 'spose it's a good time to mention Beltronics has dropped the price on their stealth, hidden installed Bel STi-R radar detector (was $1100 USD just for the radar detector)

We have the Bel STi-R + Laser Interceptor combo for $1260 USD which is around $1370 AUD

dontgetcaught.com.au is selling (just) the Bel STi-R radar detector on its own for $1499 AUD !!

^ I used the Escort X50 with Delonix's vertical bracket for over a year and it worked very well.
The V1 is simply in another league though.
PM me if you want more info, I've tested quite a few detectors!
Delonix is the cheapest by far since changing their prices to USD. There's no reason to buy from anyone else. (IMO)

Do you regret buying an unneeded product and losing $300 on it? Or did it not work as expected?
