best detector.
this is the best detector bar none. completely spectre immune and ships with 2 smartcords for hardwire and 12V lighter socket. remember to check your firmware and make sure it is at least a4m9 or later using the procedure outlined in the radardetector net forums. very happy with my purchase.only problem is beltronics wont honor their warranty if you buy from amazon! you should get this direct from beltronics if you want a warranty.
