Stealth Radar Detectors - electronically undetectable to police

Can the police determine if you are using a radar detector?

          YES!

All modern digital radar detectors emit some electronic noise, even though they are a passive device!

A radar detector detector (RDD) is the device used by police to (electronically) determine if a vehicle in the proximity, is using, a radar detector. RDD's were brought about by the need for law enforcement officers to determine if a driver was using a radar detector in a state or country where they are illegal.

Stealth Micro Systems (SMS) of Australia supply local police with the Stalcar (re-named as Spectre outside of Australia) RDD and later followed with upgrades, the Stalcar 2, 3 & 4. The Stalcar / Spectre II and III were so successful, that many law enforcement agencies around the world submitted large orders for these devices

How far away can your radar detector be detected by the police RDD's?

See our 2009 Spectre IV+ RDD video test results

At this time of writing, there are only a handful of radar detectors available in the world that 100% invisible to ALL radar detector detectors. It should be noted that many Radar Detectors cannot be detected by the (obsolete) VG-2 radar detector detector (RDD), which is often referred to as "shadow technology". This is useless against modern RDDs as the VG-2 is hardly used anymore, and has now been replaced by the latest Spectre / Stalcar RDD. Sometimes older RDs have marketing material on the box that states something like:

"VG-2 cloaking - which means this detector is undetectable by police radar detector detectors"

This is a load of bull. The VG-2 is an out of date RDD that is seldom used throughout the world anymore. Many of these "so-called" stealth RDs are EASILY detected by the newest modern "Spectre" or "Stalcar" RDDs - see our video tests via the link above.

We still get many phone calls asking us the difference between the Bel "XR" (Australian / NZ packaging) and the Bel "STi Driver" (the "rest of the world" packaging).

Undetectable Radar Detectors & Packages:   Prowler Radar Package PRS5-STi Our "Prowler PRS5-STi" radar detector / laser jammer package combines the 100% stealth STi Driver Radar Detector plus a Conqueror M18 laser jammer. The STi Driver radar / laser detector is invisible to all police RDDs (radar detector detectors) such as the VG-2, Stalcar II, III and IV (Australia) as well as Spectre II, III and IV (USA / Canada) - which means it cannot be electronically detected. The STi Driver provides good warning of radar based speed cameras, and "dash mounted radar" in the highway patrol cars. The dual head Conqueror M18 laser jammer gives you advanced warning against laser speed guns, by blocking the gun from acquiring your speed for a few seconds - enabling you to safely check your speed. Package Price: $949.95 AUD (save $178) More Info Prowler Radar Package PRS4-STi Our Prowler PRS4-STi package combines a stealth STi driver radar detector plus a hidden installed Laser Interceptor dual head laser jammer. The STi radar / laser detector is invisible to all police RDDs (radar detector detectors) such as the VG-2, Stalcar III and IV+ (Australia) as well as Spectre II and IV+ (USA / Canada) - which means it absolutely cannot be electronically detected. The STi provides good warning of radar based speed cameras, and "dash mounted radar" in the highway patrol cars. The dual head Laser Interceptor laser jammer gives you advanced warning against laser speed guns, by blocking the gun from acquiring your speed for a few seconds. Package Price: $1498.00 AUD (save $200) More Info Prowler Radar Package PRS3-STi The PRS3-STi package includes a hidden installed STi-R stealth radar / laser detector designed to be completely hidden in your vehicle, plus a hidden installed dual head laser jammers giving you frontal protection from police laser guns. The radar STi-R radar antenna is mounted in your front grill or even behind your front bumper, whilst the audio alerts and tiny threat display screen are discretely hidden in your dash. The GPS addition to the STi-R (the "PLUS" part of the name) alerts you to fixed speed cameras, red light cameras and other dangers with an updatable database that can be downloaded from the Internet. A small remote control unit controls the STi-R's volume, mute and power, whilst the Laser Interceptor has its own separate kill switch. Package Price: Out of Stock More Info Escort 9500ci Installed Radar Detector The Escort 9500ci is the second "remote installed" 'stealth' radar detector to hit the market that is undetectable to ALL police radar detector detectors (also known as RDDs) Previous to the Escort 9500ci and the Beltronics STi, RD manufactures simply moved the 'lo frequency' at which their radar detectors operated at. The Bel STi was the first to shield ALL emissions resulting in a 100% invisible RD to all models of Spectre, Stalcar and VG-2 radar detector detectors. The Escort 9500ci shares the same M3 antenna as the Bel STi-R Our Price: $2399.00 AUD (includes GST) More Info Escort Redline Radar Detector The Escort Redline radar / laser detector uses the same M3 antenna first pioneered in the Bel STi, however Escort have further tweaked the sensitivity, to product one of their most sensitive radar detectors yet. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as other models, Escort have just focused on this unit giving maximum range (detection) of police radar. This model detector is best suited for use outside Western Australia. It is 100% undetectable (stealth) like the Bel STi, Bel STi-R and Escort 9500ci - which means it cannot be electronically detected by police radar detector detectors. We do not recommend it for use in Western Australia - as it's Multanova detection is below standard, but for outside of WA (the only state to use the "Multanova" speed camera) it will detect all radars and laser very well. Our Price: $799.00 AUD (includes GST) More Info Beltronics STi-R PLUS Radar Detector with GPS Whilst a 100% stealth radar detector was welcomed by the market in 2006, having a portable unit was not the ideal solution for those wanting a completely hidden, installed system. The STi-R, released in September 2007 filled that need. With the same 100% stealth properties as its portable counterpart, the Bel STi Driver, the Bel STi-R ("R" standing for remote) further increases sensitivity, with added features all in a system designed to be hidden from sight. Then, in 2010, the Bel STi-R was further upgraded to the Bel STi-R PLUS. Finally Beltronics released the product everyone was asking for. Great range, Ka-band selection, 100% undetectable, and now with GPS to lock out false alarms, and provide fixed speed / red light camera warnings. This radar detector is simply the very best hidden unit you could buy for Australia. More Info Beltronics STi Driver (Bel XR) Radar Detector The Bel STi Driver was the very first 'stealth' radar detector to hit the market that was (and still is) undetectable to ALL police radar detector detectors (also known as RDDs). Previous to the Beltronics STi, RD manufactures simply moved their operating 'lo frequency' at which the radar detectors were tuned to. The Bel STi was the first detector to shield ALL emissions resulting in a 100% invisible RD to all models of Spectre, Stalcar and VG-2 radar detector detectors. The STi Driver is a portable radar detector that mounts on the windsceen or dash, and can be moved from car to car. More Info
