It also provides the benefit of undetectability by alerting you to the presence of VG-2, aka "radar detector detector." It also incorporates a new safety feature--Safety Alert (SA) and Safety Warning System (SWS), which give you an advance warns you of the presence of potential road hazards by detecting signals from safety radar transmitting devices.

Serious Detection
For the ultimate in detection, the RMR-8RD features an external front antenna for radar and laser detection, and an external rear antenna for laser detection (both of which connect to the display box in your vehicle's interior). The device gives you 360-degree detection of all Radar bands (X, K, Ka, SuperWide, Pulse, Instant-On, Photo, and POP) and all Laser Speed Devices (Pro-Laser, LTI, Laser-Lite, and Stalker). Adaptive laser tracking (ALT) ensures better laser performance.

Advanced Micro-Scan
Scans the radar bands 2-4 times faster than as any other detector. This allows Rocky Mountain devices to pick up the new P.O.P. radar that no one else can.

Voice Alert
Voice Alert with Intelli-Voice voice synthesis keeps you aware while you keep your eyes on the road. Plus it's bilingual--select between English/Spanish.

Smart-Scan
When Rocky Mountain devices detect radar in one scan, they repeat that scan, instead of completing programmed scans and returning. This means they detect quicker with less false alarms than any other detector.

Safety Alert and Safety Warning System
The RMR-8RD unit incorporates the Safety Alerts (SA) and Safety Warning Systems (SWS) detection. This safety feature warns you of the presence of potential road hazards by detecting signals from safety transmitting devices.

VG-2 and VG-3 Immunity
VG-2 and VG-3 are devices police use to detect radar detectors. This model provides the benefit of 'undetectability' by alerting you to the presence of VG-2 and VG-3 signals.

City Mode
The false-alert are often caused in urban areas by automatic door openers and alarm systems. The RMR-8RD features a City mode, in which the X band is not detected and K/Ka band sensitivity is lowered.

What's in the Box
Display Box, Front Antenna for radar and laser detection, Rear Antenna for laser detection, Mounting Bracket, Dual Lock Tape for front and rear antennas, Velcro Tape for display box, Special Screw for installation ofthe bracket with antenna, Washer Screw for mounting the brackets on the car, Cable Tie, Coiled 12VDC Power cord, Manual

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent dectector, one of few remote mount choices, February 3, 2011

This review is from: Rocky Mountain Radar RMR-8RD Remote Radar Detector with Voice Alert System (Electronics)

There are not many remote mount radar detectors available. This is one of them. I chose this one because I was able to get it cheaper than the others and wanted a detector that was hidden for days when I didn't want my V1 stolen and was going into seedy areas. The installation is simple for anyone having done any installation work. I mounted the front head behind the front grill of my car and the rear laser sensor near the rear brake light (it can also be mounted on the bumper, but this was easier to do).

In terms of overall performance it doesn't false a lot which is helpful. It has really good X and Ka band warnings for something so cheap (and I've used a Valentine One before). The K band warning is only medicore but it could be my placement in the grill. They've switched a lot to Ka band around here so it is not that big a deal.

You can get jamming attachments for it. The radar ones would not be useful IMHO, however using two of the Laser Stik add ons for Laser technically may work if used on the front of the vehicle near the plate. They provide an 8mhz pulsed signal it appears from my testing, which if you have enough power should work by brute force but will likely cause jam codes on Laser guns and won't be effective on all models, but you can get them cheaply so it is a matter of personal choice. One unit does not have enough output to make this work however two may work on smaller less reflective cars. Whether it is worth risking that is up to you.
