You can get software that integrates the display into your HUD (if your car has one, like the Corvettes). Having the display locked away behind a compartment or console is useless when you want to analyze the type of threat and you have to pause to take your eyes off the road. Too late unless you memorize the different tones and practice lightning fast braking. Open highway you usually have plenty of time to react to CHP Ka bands (my V1 can see them up to 2 miles out).

The jammers on the C7 are nice and blend in well....from 50+ feet. Any LEO that pulls you over and sees those, you are busted. Laser is so hard to detect and defeat...a very narrow band and target area. Hopefully jammer tech will continue to improve and continue to get smaller. When using jammers you have to always be prepared to brake hard and disable (toggle off) the jammers very, very quickly. Otherwise, you tip off the shooter and face a possible pull-over. Best defense = chase a rabbit ahead of you.

loaf911, you have my upmost respect and epitomize how law enforcement should behave. Thank you, sir.
