Plus, due to DC and Virginia considerations ( I commute to DC occasionally and go back to Richmond as well), I need to be invisible to RDD and as stealthy as possible not having the detector slapped up in the windscreen with a cord hanging down for the whole world to see. A C7 is going to scream 'give me a ticket' to every cop around anyway.
I was stationed at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C. for a couple years, I am very familiar with that area, and the nuances of getting away with speeding in the area. Keep in mind Virginia State Police have devices to detect the use of radar detectors. While I didn't know that at the time, and never got pulled over for using mine, I would be mighty careful operating one in Virginia in the future. Escort makes a model called the Redline, which is "stealthed" to the detector the police use, but I don't know if you can do a permanent install with it. Maryland just used lasers as far as the troopers go, so that's when the jammer would really come in handy. The GPS features on the 9500ix and the new Escort Max make staying clear of those speed cameras and red light cameras a breeze in D.C. It's just unfortunate you can't get the stealth features with a permanent install that also includes the gps features. Just not out there.
