Beltronics RX75PLUS BEL PRO RADAR CUSTOM

My Radar detector was purchased January 2010. One month later the detector stopped working and would not turn on. I verified it was not the power source or the cable; the unit was receiving power but would not turn on. Well I wasn't too happy but I knew it was covered by a 1 Year warranty. I called up Beltronics only to find out that they DO NOT HONOR WARRANTY CLAIMS for products purchased from Amazon.com!!! Even worse, they wanted $79.99 + shipping to fix the unit. Needless-to-say, I find their level of customer service inadequate and disconcerting given the volume of product they sell through this site. I will not purchase another Beltronics product and would advise highly against it given their lack of professionalism in standing behind the quality of their own product.

They have both been running perfectly since day one and have more than paid for themselves in avoided fines. The key is installation and I highly recommend a custom professional installation. On my M3, I have the radar sensor and two laser "shifters" (jammers) up front and one laser shifter in the rear. Since the Pilot has such a huge front end, we have everything up front and nothing in the rear (nobody shoots laser at the rear).

I don't know about the warranty complaint in the other review, but we have been very happy with ours.
