Does this have a quick release so I can hide the detector if I get stopped or pulled over?

It uses the same bracket that V1's suction mount does, so you can press the lever on top and pull the detector out quickly. The mount itself is permanently attached to the mirror and would still be visible.

It has the same sliding clip as the suction cup mount. VA is the only place I heard they got radar detector detectors, and they give you tickets for it.

Yes it plugs into the lighter with the cord that comes with the radar detector, plus it comes with a sucking cup window mount. The radar mount that is shown in picture is not needed.

If you get a sticky cup, it is very easy to remove and mount. The sticky cup is left on the window, so someone will know you have a detector in the car.

It does not assist the main detector, and it would add weight to the shaft of the main detector. Turn it off and put it in your pocket/holster/apron, whatever.

do the police have their own devices to detect whether drivers are carrying radar detectors on board; if so, is this device able to escape that detection?

i like that it can be lifted off the dash and tucked away so no one can see it when you're parked. less chance of someone stealing it.

Yes it does. I highly reccomend it.Be aware that people might try to steal it. I use a small padlock which is better than nothing....enjoy!

By the way. It's already saves me from numerous tickets. Detector has light that you can mount and it flashes. As I would never hear it beeping at 100mph

Purpose of concealed display is to make it more convenient to mute unit without reaching up to ur mirror. Also everyone around ur car won't be aware that u have a radar detector in the car that u keep reaching up to mute. The v1 is completely over sensitive. It constantly bizzed and flashes. The escort max 2 has intelligent software and filters. It is the least obnoxious radar detector on the market imo

No it not a quick release. I found this to be one of the better space bars.

I do believe that it comes with a kill switch if your hood is opened. My vehicle had a sensor so my installer didn't have to add that part.

It detects cameras and speed traps (that's the main reason I bought it) but with both you have to keep in mind if it's a laser you usually don't stand a chance to react (or it may not even alert you if the officer is good and doesn't shout the windshield) and some cameras shout you in the back just when you pass them so it's almost no time to react.Hope this helped

Yes and No. I have not experienced this (luckily), but have given it some thought. Where mine is mounted on the windshield, it has a ball pivot for adjustment. With this, you can actually just reach up and give a 90 degree twist and it will catch what you want it to. The problem with this though is most police will ask you to turn off your car and ignition, so unless you keep a secondary hot switch to feed it power with the key off, recording will stop. I don't think you would want to hard wire it into power not shut off by the ignition key, otherwise you could potentially have a dead battery after prolonged (overnight?) parking. I'm not sure of the power amp/draw and how that effects things, just my thoughts.

It's not quick release, which in my situation would be handy and I could more quickly remove the guard in dry weather. In you're case, though, it sounds like it's what you're looking for. If someone really wanted it, though, all they'd need is an allen key and about a minute to remove a couple screws and it's off.

Yes...it is easy to remove the detector and move from car to car - mount to mount.

Yes, There are two rubber plug options (one short one long) that I presume will cause it to alarm if it is removed when armed. The short plug I suppose is used if you screw the base in really well and the long one is for if you use the adhesive tape?

IF it does...you can be pulled over and given a ticket. Worse scene is that officer can make you remove the rack before allowing you to continue driving. Most would write a fix it ticket, i would hope but you never know. I know we did get pulled over for blocking it with a rack that was almost just like this one.. So do not assume it is just a warning or they will not care.
