Ok now the more important part. How much did it cost and what config did you got??I got the K40 and love it expensive but I like the stealth nature of the system and the 360 degree protection. They also guarantee they will pay for a ticket if you get one during the first year of ownership.
3k part if the lease installed. 360 radar and two diffusers up front.Ok now the more important part. How much did it cost and what config did you got??

I had been struggling with which after market components to install but have concluded also that for me a Radar Detector will keep me honest but Laser Jammer is unwarranted.The radar/laser arms race is impressive. But is it really cost-effective to spend 2-3K avoiding a ticket that might cost 2-$300? Certainly insurance premium considerations also come into play, but you'd have to be avoiding several tickets a year to make it worth it. In the past, I've paid $400 on detectors here in VA where they're illegal but I'm not sure it's worth up to 3K to participate in some of these defenses. It's like the military using a $10M cruise missile to take out a target that cost $1M.
Any suggestion on Radar detector? I heard Escort Redline is good!Reviews of K40 jammer are not kind - as far as I can see; others prefer HP 905
Laser Jammer Test
So I am not convinced that K40 is the smart choice

That's crazy.20 over in VA is a mandatory jail sentence.
Never Speed In Virginia: Lessons From My Three Days In Jail
I just got the Escort Max and really like it. I'm leasing as well, so I had them mount it on the top left of the mirror and they direct wired it to the ignition power. It took them an hour to install. $100 for installation and the cost of the wire.I had a K40 in the past. Seems like every time an Infiniti SUV would get close it would set off my laser signal.
I'm leasing so I don't want to spend 3k to get it installed then more money when I uninstall it and then hit by Maserati for a damaged panel. So looking at the Escort Max get it direct wired have it mounted to my mirror and get a BlackVue camera installed.
Have you tested it yet to see if it really works well. I am also curious about the range?I just got the Escort Max and really like it.

Are you satisfied with the performance of the passport Max? Does it really helps you avoid tickets?Rootcanal1
My exact setup is a Passport Max and Blackvue camera..... Both hard wired and I have to extra power pack for the Blackvue which leaves the power to the camera when the car is off so that I can use it as a parking camera. Works great.
