Reprogram it. It is easy!
WRONG! If you travel at all you can easliy find some podunk LEO's using. The fun part is you pick up their signal at least 2 miles ahead(with a V1 at least).

There is no such thing, however there are devices to protect you from laser speed detection devices.

I don't bother with radar detectors. Why bother when I can pass through speed traps at 10 mph over the limit in this state?

WRONG..to an extent. There are Radar Jammers. Just highly illegal and will put you in jail for violating FCC regulations. But relatively easy to make and also easy to find on your car.

Laser jammers however are legal since they are controlled by the FDA and not the FCC and such.

Yup, just heard a story the other day about some HP's in the sticks using their old reliable x-band to pick people off. The likelyhood of anyone within a 50-mile radius of the city using x-band is low, but I'd still like to have the ability to detect it.

i had a Vector 940, saved me a couple times but i got rid of it cuz spending the money on my system instead was more important, the radar detector was only a lame excuse for me to speed and i needed to slow myself down anyway
