Radar & Laser Detectors: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW! Audi R8

Рет қаралды 1,343,585

5 жыл бұрын

After working on Alex Roy's Record Breaking M5, I wanted to learn more about how Radar and Laser detectors work and if they are legal in my state. Likewise, I wanted to understand what laser shifters do and how they work before deciding if they were right for me. Here is what I uncovered during my research and while filming the step by step installation process at AI design. Please note: Obviously, I'm not a legal expert, but the information in the video is a combination of what I've read online and gathered through various manufacturer "questions" emails. I chose the Escort CI 360 complete detection system for the Audi R8, as it is the latest defense system made for vehicles today and is legal in my state. Hope you enjoy! -L

@@jasonlisonbee On the motorway in my country they still use a system that calculates your average speed over at distance, using nothing more than a couple of internal timers. When you pass a given point, the operator in the car will press a button to start your timer, when the operator passes the point himself, he will press another button to start his timer. After a mile or so, he will again pick a spot and when you pass, stop your timer, and when he passes he stops his own timer. The system can then calculate the time you took to travel that distance and an average mph is calculated. This system will never be able to detect that :)

You would have to get a LOT of REALLY BIG fines and frequently for this to ever be a break even proposition since most large fines can be pled down to parking offenses and what not. I'd say the system is too old to be effective long before you'd rack up $10k worth of fines. Be better off just paying the occasional fine.

@dannyteebone9233 3 жыл бұрын

James G to tell you the truth this is my second one as I didn’t take the first one (same exact system) and regretted it when I had to pay another 10k Or thereabouts, I’m sure in other states one could find someone to do it for way less though. He did a real custom job where it looks factory installed and could be concealed and stuff, display was up high and control panel was on middle console for easy access; over 40 billable install hours. But I’d just take the main units, receiver, jammers, control, and not necessarily remove all the cabling if too much of a pain; at least saving me from buying a new unit altogether. I’ve had this unit since 2013 and it’s still top of the line; updates are done wirelessly on it too. I hate driving without it really. I know I’ll never recover my 20k in at this point, and I never thought It would actually save me anything close to cost, but I can’t imagine driving any other car without it now. Still works amazing, I love the 5-10 second heads up especially in oncoming traffic front side.

Highway is a different matter but when you driving vast distances, you want to go faster to make up time especially if you start to get tired. That's when cruise control comes in.

Well, basically the last sentence says it all. A lot of people are relying on waze or any other app for speed traps, even you have installed a very expensive detector to keep you on your guard. "On your guard" this is not about the speed anymore, it's pure about the money. If you find me speeding through a school zone and you catch me, fine by me. If I am going 5 above the speed at 2am in the morning on a road with no lighting and no cars right after a speed change. That's a rip off. I am certain that 95 percent of the detector sells are people tired of being ripped off at one point or another. Previous year I recieved six tickets. All of them taken in a speed change zone, where the speed went from 70 to 50. I always easy off the gas, as I don't slam the brakes and all my tickets show this. 59,53,55,58,.... and so on.

This should be the top comment. That list of states where laser jammers are illegal got that long because of individuals repeated driving past cops shooting laser and jamming them over and over again. Had they been responsible users they would have jammed until they slowed down, and then turned their jammers off giving the officers a speed reading. This is known in the countermeasures world as JTK or Jam to Kill. www.rdforum.org/content/jam-to-kill-jtk/ The officers would be none the wiser. I feel eventually jammers are going to be made illegal state by state, all because of the actions of a few irresponsible individuals.

@rollingtones1 5 жыл бұрын

MsportJake: The Escort system shown here, as well as the custom-installed K40 systems, have pre-set times during which the laser jammers (shifters) will jam laser then revert to detect only mode. This is set up by the installer at the time of installation. If done right, the driver needn’t do anything during a laser encounter. You are already nervous enough when these systems go off, the last thing you want to do is add to the “pilot workload”.

Don't speed. But in the real world, it doesn't really work that way. If you are doing 35 MPH in a 25 MPH zone, you are technically speeding. This is called a speed trap and this is why I decided to get a detector to avoid contributing to end of month revenue goals for municipalities. Radar detectors are not an excuse to be an idiot on the road. If you speed, YOU SHOULD GET A TICKET.

It requres a lot of patience and knowledge to do such jobs but of course this couldn't be done if company's mentality would be a let's do it cheap mentality.
