You will need to step-up your game plan far more than your present objective.Failure to do so w/ result in serious consequences between you & Law Enforcement & especially your driving privileges no matter where your domicile...it's time to get much more serious than what you now contemplate doing.

Lots of better units for Radar than the 8500, If you need help choosing one let us know.

[msgale]

is your concern that the 8500 willnot be effective enough?

8500 is not terrible, but not all that great either, considering all the threats out there. If you're serious about protecting yourself, your Escort choices would be ideally a Redline or a Max. The 8500 x 50 black would be the best second tier choice. The other top tier option would be a Valentine with YaV1 options and sweeps

The 8500 lists for $799. If you have it professionally installed it will cost you a few hundred dollars. The performance of the 8500 is ok. Once you start getting into the $600+ cost for a radar detector, spending a little more money is worth it. The Beltronics STiR+ lists for $1299 and is the top performing custom installed radar detector. Many retailers may discount the STiR+. I would contact BestRadarDetectors.net during regular business hours. He offers great customer services and is very helpful in picking the best radar detector for you.

I hope your A4 does not have radar assisted cruise control and blind spot monitoring systems.
