Geez....this sounds like a Valentine commercial.
Have had radar detectors since the first days of the "fuzz buster"......technology is constantly updating on both sides.
Currently have full K40 (blue tooth) system in the TT S, and absolutely love it.......8500 in the F250 with additional mounts in the 440HP 300 ZX and the Aprilia. The K40 is the cleanest install you can imagine...the wife didn't like/want anything hanging on the ws of the p car......it's performance seems on par with the 8500, but tells me what kind of unit is hitting me, and wheter it is front or rear.
Laser diffuer works OK (and is legal in CA) but it gets fooled by emergengy units with the laser red light tool.

W/ that fuse tap, all you have to do is clamp the V1 power line to the line on the fuse tap, then simply plug it into an empty fuse slot.
