Has anyone figured out how to buy a Ram mount that is a perfect fit for a radar detector? I'm considering a Passport 8500 detector and would like to buy a Ram mount that fits this product.
Your thoughts?
Your thoughts?
4 little nylon screws hold the cover to the base plate. Velcro holds the RD to the base plate. Never a drop of moisture in all those miles, including many serious rain storms.looks like the lid is screwed onto the base.
I am going to try the hoonhardware radar box. Next question...is the round thing under the box an external speaker? If so, is it waterproof? If so, where'd you get it?Here's where I got mine from. http://www.hoonhardware.com/Radar_Box/radar_box.htm
And a couple pix from an install "how to"...
[The only thing I've changed is I went with a slightly larger anunciator (actually, the new one is a Tip Over Alarm for a vending machine, easily heard at 120+.]
My Escort 8500ix fits just right in this case, and haven't had a problem in 20K miles.
This is what I use with my V1. Metal plate is attached to bottom of RD with super strong adhesive foam tape. Ram Mount Plate is magnetic with just a slight depression for the metal plate. Results in a very solid fit. Have ridden 120,000+ miles on two STs with this and has never come off. Yet you can take it off with ease when needed.
just made a donation myself in WY.... my question: does the radar detector help you avoid further invitations to the policeman's ball?After making a donation to some county in Colorado in summer 2009
Not sure how to interpret your question. If the question is how effective is the use of a detector, I'd say it's very helpful. It's nice to know where the LEO's are. Most LEO's are lazy (sorry member LEO's) and overuse their radar guns. I do exceed the limits in certain situations, but I'm pretty careful and sometimes I'm quite pokey (like in residential areas).just made a donation myself in WY.... my question: does the radar detector help you avoid further invitations to the policeman's ball?
