i seen free software online for radar detecting online lets you know about speed traps....etc, just like on the blackberry storm there is an app that does such, now could i download that and put it on the Sd card and load it onto the gps ? will it work, has anyone tried this?

how does the blackberry storm detect the radar? is it using IR? AFAIK our unit doesn't have IR so it won't work,

I think its just a database of fixed radar speed traps.

If it is what Eqz is talking about, the unit has it built in, you just have to mod the system to enable it.

Yes and no. There is a mod that basically downloads all the speed camera databases into the AVIC. I believe it's part of GTIMatts mods and others. However, the BlackBerry application your talking about, Trapster I think, is a live application that requires a data connection. People login to the application and report that there is a LIVE speed trap. The problem with this, is the data is only as good as the number of users who have a data enabled device and are reporting the current speed trap. The speed trap information is retired from the database after a fixed number of hours without anyone else reporting the trap as live.
