I have one installed in the center console -  the detectors are mounted on the front & rear bar (for alerting to cops coming up behind me) - it picks up lasers and radors. You wouldnt know it was there if you didnt know where to look. It has always gone off with plenty of warning and is set to not go off at doors etc.

what model number is this one ?

i'd be looking for something similar to that

']im decidin whether to purchase the bel rx65 or rocky mountain. I know the rocky mountain is developed usin military technology. Rocky mountain is also very competivitly priced, and according to their website, they are faster then the beltronics. Only thing stoppin me is the fact that beltronics has such a good reputation. Ive seen one bloke sellling the rx65 for 500. If we manage to get a couple of blokes together we could possibly get it between 450-480 dollars a piece. Anyone interested??? I'll find out today wether he'll budge on the price.

Cheers.

make sure you can turn k and x band off, otherwise the radar detector, no matter what brand will be useless. important ;)

2. It is only used on the car mounted radars (and unless you do a lot of country driving these are few and far between)

On the contrary - There are bulk coppers on the freeways and suburban streets with K-band vehicle mounted radars. And my last big fine was at night driving on a city street and got done with a vehicle mounted radar :)

K-Band is used by most vehicle-mounted-radar cop cars to detect your speed. Why would you turn it off?

 

Pretty stupid.

ok then leave k band on.

It will go off every 30 seconds... how effective will that be?

It doesn’t take a genius to realise that if your radar detector is going off so often it will be highly annoying and also it will make you much less likely to react when there is actually a multinova or camera.

I will repeat the best and most effective setup for a radar detector for city driving is to use it primarily as a multinova detector and to leave k and x band off.

If your radar detector doesnt let you turn off k and x then get a new one.

This is not an opinion, it’s a fact.

I used a Bell 900 for quite a while and found it to be worthwile.

Every day when I went to work from Mandurah to Bibra lake - it was like a mine field of speed cameras/police.

It used to warn me in adequate time and I found it usefull. If your an idiot driver who thinks that they can speed all the time and be saved, forget about it.

The radar actually made me more aware of speeding and when it beeped it reminded me to slow down. Was very impressed. Im just annoyed that they are illegal in melbounre. If we had radar detectors here, the vic goverment wouldnt make any revenue.

Had one, got my window broken into and stolen!

My stupid ass fault for not taking it down...

Had it for a few months n never saw a single detector, got stolen and went past one within a week.. lol just how things work ay

I didnt find K band was bad at all, but if u leave X band on dun go past ANY shops beep beep beep hehehe

in one of my mod's can turn x band off, i herd police dont use x band anymore, but for sum reason im speeding less with it :S, havent found a speed cam to try mine out but worth having one and all.

actually i have but it beeped when i after i drove past, got o learn the best place to mount this thing, pointed around and it picked it up like 300-500m away. soo im not too confident with these things.

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
