Re: CB and Radar Detector combo

[Alexei M Voloshin <Alexei.M.Voloshin-1@tc.umn.edu>]

Just wondering how effective is the laser detection behind the tinted 
upper glass strip. My Escort 5000 has very poor laser detection if I 
mount it up there. The tint seems to block out the light/ infrared 
radiation too well.

No Audi content, but just posting a suggestion/warning for those of us 
who want to ticket "ticket-free for years to come".
