[QUOTE="CAJW, post: 697427, member: 1055"] I just spoke with a tech at Escort who said that no laser signal would be received unless the plastic it was behind was clear. Ka & K band would still get through as long as it's not mounted behind any metal. We discussed the headlight reflector and was told as long as it's not metal, radar signals would still get through to the detector. This information along with quotes like this [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=125576&hl="]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?s...=125576&hl=[/URL] lead me to believe that this would work. Another option, (too rich for my blood) is to purchase their ZR4 Shifter [URL="https://www.escortradar.com/store/laser-shifter-zr4.html"]https://www.escortradar.com/store/laser-shifter-zr4.html[/URL] which has remote sensors (2 front, 1 rear) which is powered off of the X50. You can leave the laser shifter portion off and then put the detector out of sight. $449 is way outa line for me, so I'll be moving mine to the glovebox for some evaluation. [/QUOTE]
