Types of Radar Detectors

At RadarDetectorsBest.com, we tell you all about the different types of d\radar detectors. There are basically three different types of radar detectors, the traditional corded units, cordless (battery operated) units, and the concealed units.

Cordless Radar Detectors

These are free of dangling cords, but in order to conserve battery life, cordless radar detectors turn themselves off and on in milliseconds; this affects the radar detectors range and sensitivity.

Corded Units

The most popular radar detectors are the corded ones designed to either be plugged into your car's cigarette lighter or into the fuse box and then mounted on the windshield using suction cups. Corded units are normally your best bet for cost and functionality.

Remote Mounted units

These are installed into the car with their antennas mounted under the hood or in the grill and the display module installed into the dash or under the dash.
