Ok, so I was doing some wiring and working on a customers FC this week and when it was on the hoist I noticed a strange sensor I've never seen before underneith the re-bar at the front. Didn't think much of it until I was under the dash I noticed this controller:



It looks like it was some kind of Mazda factory option maybe???

The sensor at the front would be the actual radar detector I guess?

It might still work too...it lights up and blinks the LED's and makes noise haha. Its pretty cool, never heard of any FC's having something like that before.

 

that's the second one i've ever seen....pretty cool. was it a 10th AE?

 

Yeah its a 10ae. Its also a US car originally. The customer brought it up to Canada a few years ago.

^Ha cool

Now I know

 

thats awesome.... anyone know how well they work???

 

probably not very well considering they are 20 years old...

 

yeah but its JDM tyte yo!

 

I can almost bet this radar detector won't even detect a single radar. Just imagine how diverse radars have gotten since this detector was released. It's cool though, could be a collector!

 

Very cool!

 

Dealer installed part based on the old K40 radar detectors.

Most dealers had them at that time period, they were $300-$400 installed ($300 for the ones with just front sensors like that one, $400 for the ones with front and rear sensors).

Not Mazda factory at all... simply an accessory that MNA had made.

And a pretty lame install that they didn't even use the screw holes and just used velcro tape.
