Radar detectors ?

[jtsang25]

There is no amount of money you could pay me to let anyone, especially an insurance company, track my driving. 100% F that.

Fl track days; your wife is smart and wise, I can see a tracking device for your kids, that’s a no brainer, but unless the discount is ALOT of $$$ , I wouldn’t let any entity track my whereabouts

I will NEVER willingly allow any company or entity to have access to my driving data, no matter what amount of savings is promised or afforded. Insurance companies do not make money by paying claims.

If you have a phone or Google account pretty sure you are tracked. Google can tell you exact routes you've driven without even using maps unless they stopped.

I have an iPhone, and while they do do some tracking, its far better than any Google phone.

I do not use Google Maps.

For reference, I've worked in cyber security for over 10 years, I know a little bit about this.

And that is a much different issue than specifically permitting an insurance company to monitor my driving. It is not at all likely that my insurance company is going to subpoena my cell phone location data in order to limit, reduce or deny liability in a claim.

I am constantly amazed at just how much many people are willing to give up in terms of privacy and just how little understanding many have of the implications.

Always used a Uniden R8 and has saved me from countless tickets. Literally this weekend I was driving a different car without it and was using a terrible radar someone had which resulted me in getting a ticket. I feel as if I had my own radar I could’ve avoided it. From now on whenever I go anywhere I am bringing the R8.

I hear ya dude. I added my silly comments to this post because it was the polar opposite and for fun. I felt the same until I saw the bill $$$ for two teenagers. I thought about how and where I drive. For me, I only go back and forth from work, and everything is close. Really low miles. Also, it is a hockey puck. If you use your imagination, there are times/reasons why you forget to put it back in

I‘m definitely the minority. LIke I said, my wife has the highest insurance rate of all of us . She won’t do it at all. Bless her heart. My kids don’t have a choice, unless they want to pay for their own insurance. They do make their own car payments. So I have to give them some credit.

Some Kim Comando (spelling) show, talked about how everything is track. And she proceeded to tell her audience how you could turn off Siri and that is a start. So I did that, I’ll be damned… talk about turning your phone into a brick, lol. No CarPlay, warning pop ups constantly that Siri is turned off. I went back to that too. I gave up. Such a weakling. I even do the ad tracking now. At least it’s car stuff in the bottom right corner now while I’m typing this and ads I like.

That sounds about right. Especially if you’re carrying 100/300 comp & collision. I’ll have to find out. The Supra is one of the best $$$ out of the 5 cars. My MX5 is the lowest at around $80. Our ceilings are being redone (from hurricane) and currently covered in tarp. I’ll let you know when I can find my last bill or the next bill. I’m also guessing having a high school senior living in my house doesn’t help either.

I hope you don’t let your high school senior drive your Supra

Not even once!

In case anyone is interested, here’s a list of some of the abbreviations, in regards to radar detectors:

Finally had time to wire it in, I went with the Escort Max360c Mkii.

What kit did you use to wire it in? Looks good. I’m fixing to order the Donger micro usb 2 wire.

Does that mount obscure your vision a lot? Or does it depend on seat position

Valentine One.

I have it in multiple cars. The new version also has bluetooth and can interact with an app on your phone too.

I bought it off Amazon , I’ll check once I’m home. I can’t remember the exact one I got. However I doesn’t really obstruct my view. I like it , especially for the price it was no more that 25 bucks

I keep a uniden r3 in my semi and it has saved me many times.

comparably to my r8 in my Supra, which sucks ass lmao

I’ll take a picture but I basically have mine right next to rear view on the passenger side. It’s the R7 so it’s off set and faces me so I can see it well and it’s not in my way. I just have the wire hanging and it plugged into my cigarette lighter. I’ll hard wire it this week when I decide on which hard wire kit to get.
