Radar detector that fits in a standard gauge pod! I want!...

I've had a dual gauge pillar-pod that is still in the original packaging, just sitting out in the garage; never mounted to my A-pillar. Actually, I've never had a real use for it. Now, I've found a great use for it.

Check this out...

Anyone have any experience with one of these? Maybe I'll even get me an air / fuel ratio gauge to match it! Too bad they don't make the backlit color adjustable to be RED, though =P

Yeah but it has an outdoor temp gauge and voltmeter, that should be worth 100 right there.

I do like the stealth look though. I had to add an extra lighter socket for my detector because it and the cell phone charger would not work in the oem lighter socket.

Whistler's quality has never been up to par, IMO. I'm curious to see the reviews and tests with this one.

for 500$ you could get one that works better for radar detecting like valentine one or something and have enough left over to buy something else

I wouldn't get a Whistler because the Valentine One blows it away in performance.

http://radarbusters.com/support/product-tests/2.asp

The Valentine One detects radar about .7-1.4 miles further away than the Whistler.


If the Whistler is still what you want, you can get it from here for $279.99

My girlfriend bought me a Valentine 1 and that radar is the ****. I don't know how I ever drove without it with the hard case to carry it around when not in the car( and I never leave it in) It ran her $430 the shipping whatever that was she didn't tell me. Yeah if you have the extra pillar gauge it would look nice but as fast as I drive I would rather have quality and dependablity. Thats just my two cents.
