A better mouse trap?
By Walter Wright
The Pro 3600 is a significant step forward in remote radar detectors for Whistler. I love the concept of not having a radar detector on the dash, windshield, or visor. For many years I have used the Whistler Pro 3450 in several vehicles with great results and reliability. The newer 3600 has the modular design which offers more versatility and also more wires to deal with. I was unable to get an over the phone install price from two local businesses, so I did it myself. Installation is the main reason that it gets four stars. I have had previous experience, but the process is always challenging. If you have not had any experience with this type of DIY project, then get help or have it done professionally. I installed this on my Prius... and yes for those skeptics, the vehicle will go fast enough to get you in trouble. I had to install the antenna in the vertical position using two sided heavy duty sticky tape and the reflector. This was very easy and so far has worked well. Getting through the fire wall is always a problem. I did not drill the recommended 15/32" hole in the fire wall. Instead, I opted to insert a small "snake" through a grommet and carefully wrapped and protected the phone type modular connection with tape. Then I lubricated the taped connection with original ArmorAll and carefully pulled it through into the dash. In fact, I pushed and my wife pulled. Please get help if you have not done this before. The Pros: Unit works very well. Definitely more sensitive and specific than the Pro 3450. The small console can be stuck or mounted almost any where, and is a major improvement over visible radar detectors and is much smaller than the 3450 console. The voice module also works great and is an asset to keeping you alert and safe. (It even reminds you to fasten your seat belt.) Less expensive than competitors. The Cons: May be too sensitive if that is even possible. On the "highway" setting, detects signals from very far away. When in a big city like Denver on the major roads, there are numerous K, Ka, & Laser signals with no law enforcement visible. Some obviously are false signals. But it does keep you alert. No Ku detection which is not yet a problem. Lots of wires to hide. Does not come with enough plastic cable ties. I have not yet considered the optional GPS module because it has to be out in the open where it can see the sky. This totally defeats the concept of a remote or hidden radar detector. I do recommend this product. It is worth the extra cost over the 3450 model to get the technological improvements. It is too early to comment on long term reliability.
I highly recommend the installation as a great project for two people who want to enhance or test the strength of their relationship. Even more so at 2 AM. But, it sure beats spending 3 hours in traffic court.

Great remote radar detector for the price
By Tech_Shopper
I recently purchased this radar detector. I ordered it overnight because I was taking a trip in a few days. Ordered on late Friday night and arrived Tuesday by noon. I installed this detector approx 1 hour for installation. It comes with 2 small booklets - install manual and operator manual. I downloaded them off the internet so I could have full page instructions. I took a 4 hour trip and saw a few cops shooting radar. It seemed responsive on X, K, but Ka didn't give a long warning like I was hoping. I later learned that there is a Ka max setting. I turned this on and wow. Excellent warning. I have had Cobra base radar detectors in the past and this one blows them away. Laser does have many false alerts mainly by major airports. It goes crazy around O'Hare in Chicago. I learned that you can silence/store certain lasers and allow others. This thing is completely customizeable.I am currently working on disabling certain lasers that are not used in US. I am very pleased with my purchase (no tix yet) lol. I will probably get the rear antenna in the future but works great for now.

By J. Arnwine
I have been looking for a decent hidden radar system for a long time that wasn't over $500. When I found this I was kind of skeptical until I started watching video reviews, and started reading reviews online. I caved in and decided to order it. Install was straightforward and pretty simple if you have any background working on cars. I didn't purchase any accessories that are offered for it as I just wanted front radar protection. I love the small control that can be mounted horizontal or vertical. Its small and stays out of sight (just in case you get pulled over and don't want the officer to see it). The interface is easy to use and understand. I have the sensor mounted quite low as my car is low to the ground, but that doesn't seem to affect the distance of the receiver. Turning on KA max mode gives you quite a bit more distance. On filter one setting I had quite a few false alerts so I turned it to filter 3 and turned off X and the false alerts have gone down quite a bit. Overall it is a great radar for the price.
