K, so I have a lead foot, and I don't think that will ever change, even though everybody tells me to slow down...bottom line is I am getting to many tickets!! been thinking about getting a K40 radar detector and diffuser for my truck....how awesome would it be if pioneer made an accessory for the avic's that is a radar detector? so a little icon on your screen would pop up and warn you when you are getting clocked? i think we should formally present the idea to pioneer's HR or PR office....

The Pioneers in Europe already have warnings for traffic cameras. There is a database updated by burning a CDR like we do for gracenote so it has up-to-date data. Too many lawyers that would love to fight against that in the US though

i know this is an avic-devoted forum, but does anyone have any feedback/advice on radar detectors they would care to share?

yeah, just slow down

yeah, just slow down

I'll second that one. People now are in way too much of a hurry for everything.

I'll third (?) it. Theres a reason you're getting tickets-- its illegal! Its dangerous and you're going to end up hurting yourself, or worse, someone else.

Yea, more people are killed buy speeding then drunk drivers. And if you kill someone while speeding! You go to prison, just as if you were drunk. Most people i dont think realize they could do time if they are involved in an accident while speeding.

I use the Passport 8500. Works great except for some falses on K band. Apparently there is a 9500 out (or coming out) that is somehow sat based so you can mark where you got the false and it won't do it the next time you drive by that location

Make sure you are famous if you dont want to go to jail.

3 people voting for me to slow down...story of my life... you are preaching to the choir...I have a type A personality, always moving and in the next moment, so i speed subconciously, don't even realize it...besides that, my speeding is not in excess: 50's in 35's, 75's in 65's, and those speed limits are too conservative for me, regardless of what 'the man' says...the vehicle dynamics is helping a bit on my avic though, gives me another speedometer in front of my face as a reminder to let off the gas

okay guys, lets give pj818 a break.... We're not his mom or dad and we don't need to be preaching to him our personal values or the "state laws". To anyone of you who is going to try and say they've never speeded, "SCREW YOU!" you know you have.... He was simply raising an idea that "could" be cool on a future AVIC unit and we should put in our input on THAT idea... So if you think having a "radar alert" type of system in the AVIC would encourage speeding, than just say so... You don't need to bash a dude for going 10 over... As a matter of fact I'd like to take the time to say there should maybe be a system in place for all the people who go UNDER the speed limit in places where passing is "unavailable". these are the people who piss me off.... anyway....

Seven days too late.

but worth the wait

yup way too late
