I just upgraded to another BMW and of course bought me another Whistler Pro3450. Having it installed in the same place as the others, the receiver right below the license plate. The indicator will be to the left of the steering column right over the parking brake release. Can’t see it from either door, so just a push of a button and it stays silent in case you need it to be. Other detectors claim 3 – 5 mile detection. Who cares, I want to have good detection within a 1/2 mile on the freeway and a 1/4 mile for city driving, that’s when it’s most important.
The Whistler is a solid unit that lasts for a long time. I have mine set in City 2 mode and that works best for false alarms. I’m not a speedy driver, but some times you are over the limit and it’s nice to have a detector that will let you know of a spreed trap. This is my 3rd unit and I’m picky what I buy. I do my research and get the best for the money. No suction cups or laying on the dash, this unit is remote which means the receiver is located outside the car and is connected to the indicator inside the car. Clean to the sight, soft chirp or louder if needed, and the light can also be dimmed for night driving. That’s my .02
