Great! I am not so patiently waiting...

 

And you are making this claim based on what, I happen to know quite a few people that have been more than pleased with the blinder, not to mention just about every test there is the blinder has been rated the top performer.

That's the best site for UNBIASED Radar Detector and Laser Countermeasure review.

P.S. Ivan, I'm glad you've seen the light. Also, the Laser Park Pro's ability as a "parking sensor" is very primative, BUT it gives you an excuse as to why the laser diode is on the front of your car in case a cop gives you hassles.

 

Still dont buy it, this is the only site i've seen where the blinder isnt head and shoulders above the rest, and for you to suggest foul play based on funding or general bias would have to call for some type of evidence. Not to mention it doesnt even look like it was tested completely.

 

Sounds like somebody here works for Blinder. LOL

Not only does the http://www.guysoflidar.com website have a test done in March 2007 http://www.guysoflidar.com/march-200...mmer-test.html that shows that the Blinder is DEFINITELY NOT the best, it is trusted by enthusiasts who are into radar/laser stuff as a HOBBY.

If you don't trust this website, feel free to go to the http://www.radardetector.net/ forum and check out the comments of thousands of other radar/laser counter-measure owners.

But judging by your response, I can tell that you didn't even bother looking at the links I posted.

Acutally maybe you should check yoursef before making claims. I havent come in here trying to "convert the heathens"..... You came in here using one test to substantiate claims of bias on the tons of other places that rate the linder very high. This is the technology age, nothing stays on top very long, and there is always something better out there, if not, it's on the way, but your approach is more advertisiment than anything I have said.

 

Laser Jammers in Calif is more than likely "obstruction of justice".

 

OK, show me some factual evidence from "tonnes of other places".

So does anyone have a recommendation for California drivers?

I don't think I'll have a problem hiding it, but if their gun tells them its been jammed(by me) i'm pretty much done for right?

FWIW, I researched this a few months ago and came to the conclusion that LPP is probably the way to go.

The Blinder seems to be older technology that at the time was being updated, not sure what the status is now. The Blinder is cheaper, but you need no less than 3 emitters in the front to adequately protect the car, i.e. an M30 if you will.

See my posts here https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ad.php?t=69028 and here http://www.radardetector.net/viewtop...509&highlight= for some of the information with respect to Blinder on the 996TT specifically. I believe the second link is sponsored by the Blinder (or someone affiliated with them) so if you need to ask specific questions it's a pretty good site.

The LPP is more expensive, more powerful and requires only one emitter in the front. Try this site for LPP questions http://www.laserproparkusa.com/forum/

Guys of Lidar seem to prefer the technology employed by the LPP and I believe they are independent.

In the end I opted not to buy any of them-simply didn't like how the units integrated in the cockpit of the car and decided to take my chances.

This is a link to an online stores FAQ that talks about Laser Jammers in General and mentions the Blinder (because they sell it). Not a review whatsoever.

http://www.laserveil.com/laser/jamme...rs-guide/2006/
This review is old and the laser jammers they compared Blinder with don't include the Laser Park Pro, AntiLaser G8 or Laser Interceptor (all newer units that have been released recently)

http://www.radartest.com/article.asp?articleID=8502
This test ALSO does not include any of the newer and better units aforementioned.

http://www.laserjammertechnology.com...mers/index.php
http://www.radar-detector-superstore...linderm20.html
These are just store links that sell radar and laser units and quote excerpts from reviews to sell their units. LOL

http://www.blinderxtreme.com/access/...fied_test.html
And FINALLY you list a link to Blinder's OWN website where they have excerpts to reviews (the NEWEST of which was done in 2005).
That is TRULY the most biased source you could've found!

Honestly, when I saw all the links I was suprised, but after looking at them, I'm even more amused than I was before.

If you think Blinder is the best, you can buy it, but my money was spent elsewhere after I conducted some REAL research.

Cheers,
KJ

 

I know a few guys with jammers in Cali. None of them have ever been caught with it. I don't think the 'it's a parking detector' excuse is going to work if you actually get stopped and they check.

 

Its been exactly a month, any word on availability? (the website says it still isnt out, but perhaps they dont often update the website..)

It seems as if LidaTek LE-30 units are no longer available. That leaves me with a choice between the more expensive Laser Park Pro for $600 or the Laser Interceptor for an undisclosed amount. (I would bet about the same $600)

It seems to me when you are buying something like this (detector or jammer) you might as well go with the best available as none are guaranteed to work 100% of the time, might as well go with the one most likely to work when needed most. Am I wrong to dismiss the Blinder altogether? (they scored mid-80% in the above GOL testing)

Thanks.

 

When I bought my Anti-Laser G8, it was considered the "Best" at the time. If I were to buy a Laser Blocker now, I would definitely buy the Laser Interceptor. Like you said, none are guaranteed to work 100% of the time, so it'd be best to buy the best (at the time).

That being said, my Anti-Laser G8 blocked laser FOUR times in one week a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier.

When the time comes to sell my TT, I'm going to send my Anti-Laser G8 in for a firmware upgrade and hopefully that'll close the gap a bit to the newer products out there. Or if the gap is too big, I might install it onto my FX45 and buy whatever is best at that time to put on my next "Sports" car.
