Cheetah Mirror/Radar/Laser Detector.

Radar/Mirror Detector

      The Cheetah radar detector is like nothing I have seen before. Cheetah have decided to build in to a rear view mirror a radar detector and they have done a very good job. Its well built and well thought out and the unit is very discrete. The control buttons and lights do not stand out, in fact the whole unit just looks like you have added a panoramic view mirror to your old mirror. You could also leave the detector inside when parked up as it does not stand out.

       Its mounted on the original mirror by 4 clips, two are fixed and two extend out and it should fit over most sizes and shapes of rear view mirror. The power cable then runs round the windscreen trim and down to the cigarette lighter socket.Cheetah also provide you with a very funky but slightly over the top multi adjustable 2 way power clip that fits into the cigarette socket , allows you to power the Cheetah and also another device such as a mobile phone.

       The mirror makes a big difference to the view behind the car and the anti-glare tint helps the clarity of the view. I could see out of the side rear windows no problem, so not only are you getting warnings of live speedtraps you are improving on your rear and side visibility.On the unit are 6 discrete LED's for Power, Radar Warning (3 LED's), Hi/Low sensitivity, this turns off Ka and Ku band sensing in low mode and Night mode. 4 push button switches control the power, Night mode, high/low sensitivity setting and the self test button. There is also a rotary volume control. The unit covers k, ku, ka bands and laser.The instructions are not bad, they could be better but to be honest you don't need a degree to work out this unit.

      Clip the unit onto your mirror, sort out the power cable, hiding it behind the trim as much as you can and then power the unit up and let it go through a self test first.Leave the hi/low power setting on high to start with, this in indicated by a blue LED.As you approach a live gatso camera the Cheetah will start with a warning beep and a green LED, progressing to a faster warning beep and a amber LED then finally a red LED and a rapid beep. The closer you get the faster the beep.Warnings are very good for a sub £150 unit, but not less than 100, they are as good if not better at time than the industry standard Bel and Valentine units. Given the fact that the unit is also fitted in an optimum position in a car this also improves on the range of detection. For £150 you will not be disappointed.

       Can I recommend it, YES.

       This is a great unit for £150, discreet to fit, easy to use.
       Detection range is great, you will not be disappointed.

       It doesn't look like a radar detector, great for countries that have bans on radar detectors. Simple to use. Easy to fit Good radar warning range.Volume is good Great mirror, it really improves the view behind and to the sides Price, £150 is a good price for this bit of kit.
