Answer 2

I suggest that you look for the best service and support instead of the cheapest place to buy a radar detector. The cheapest place to buy a radar detector is an UNAUTHORIZED dealer. Buying from an unauthorized dealer will VOID your warranty and leave you with NO support and NO way to have the device repaired if you ever need to. Spend a little more and buy from an professional who can help you buy the proper radar detector, give you advice on how and where to install it, and help you if you ever need warranty service.

That said, the best radar detector for around $200 is the Beltronics Vector 955. Beltronics makes the best radar detectors in the world, followed by Valentine and Escort/Passport.
