Speed Detectors

Obsolete01

Hello folks,

So as the title says i'm looking for a speed detector and im not sure what one to get simply because I am sure there are a lot of crappy ones out their that wont detect out new speed vans here in Ireland.

I was wondering if anyone has or had one and if it worked to either jam the signal or alert you of upcoiming speed van's/guns or guarda cars that are on the road?

Any advise will be much appreciated, Thanks.

They're illegal

They're illegal in Ireland. You're in for a whole world of trouble if you get caught with one.

I wonder what stops someone who's good with electronics to:
Attach sensor/reader to front of the car, bumper (blend it to look like parking sensor)
Connect sensor to some chip inside car, then chip to the cars built in LCD/GPS like many cars have

You already have one installed. Its a combination of your eyes, your speedometer, and your right foot. Perfectly legal to use, and won't cost you a penny. Unless incorrectly used of course...

Anybody know where I could get one for my high horse?

my sat nav does it or you can get apps for your phone that warn you in advance also

by the time it lights up, the speed will already have been caught on the gun

only very high end detectors will offer any advance warning, and it won't be s massive amount of warning anyway.

your best bet is to research the subject on other dedicated forums.
