welcome , what equipment are you running with in the EU

What I know there are very popular TruCam, TruSpeed and old Ultralyte 20-20... so the Laser Technology, Inc. from Colorado (USA) has very good marketing here...

I have never heard about other popular LIDARs in Europe...

On the other hand in not laser technology all MultaRadar (mobile and fixed speed radars) from JENOPTIK AG (Germany) are also popular.

I use V1 & yaV1 application. Waze is not popular, instead every country has his own popular social app, so the fixed speed radars are not problem, Valentine one & yaV1 can confirm that fixed speed radar is real and not empty housing.

I am quite advanced in the topic of K, Ka, X band, but the popularity of LIDARs force me to think how to protect myself from them.

My V1 should be a lidar detector instead of a ticket notifier...

That's why I am here...

I have black-matte coat on the front of my car, but the highly retro-reflective front plate is a challenge. I think about it.

Veil G5 is not available in Europe, but in fact it is not a solution for a white plate and the police user manual for ultralyte here has the sentence "shoot to the front plate"


Painting over plates is illegal. License plate cover is illegal. Sand paper which I have used on a fragment of my old, unused plate has solved the reflectivity problem, but it is too noticeable and it is not reversibly operation. I think about white matte coat now. If only I manage to cut the white matte sticker to fit it between the letters. We will see.

See: "By targeting a headlight, the four lasers belatedly got its speed at an average range of 1,732 feet. [..] After installing the highly retro-reflective California front plate, the lasers tagged the Expedition at an average range of 5,513 feet"

The front plate in Europe is even worse than the California plate, so If I have my plate even laser jammer cannot probably help.

So the front plate is my challenge now.

The reflectivity I test usually by a simple toy, red laser.

This is not the case. Jammers dont work by blocking any reflections from you vehicle.
