    If you're in an area that uses VPR guns, a third head on the front is almost a necessity.

    Is that really true? I thought it really depended on the size of your car?

    If you don't want the third head, I would be more than happy to take it off your hands

    Was told that by a very reliable source. I'm adding a third head to the front of my car. No chrome up front, just more protection. VPR guns are everywhere where I live unfortunately. The city I live in uses them now almost exclusively.

    Your install is more important than the number of heads. If you car is not large 2 heads will protect it sufficiently even against VPR guns.
    If you missed the RALETC test with two heads its a good read: http://radarandlaserforum.com/conten...-Head-Shootout

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    That's what I thought. I have seen a lot of videos with 2 heads jamming VPR guns just fine. In fact, the only one I have seen with 3 on front was a truck.

    The key with using 2 heads is to not place them on opposite sides of the car. (For example next to the head lights and leaving the center mass open) If the car is an average size car and your sensors are centered but around 18" to 20" or so apart you will be fine but if you have the sensors spaced 3ft apart you will get close PT's Use the photo's from past testings as a guide or if you have questions post up some photos and we will give you the best placement ideas.
