STEVE!
Just wondering, what do you use with it? Earphones? Screamer? or just the sound of the unit? - If you just go off the sound of the unit, do you have an aftermarket exhaust and can you hear it well enough?
Im used to using a HARD unit so should be interested using audio. Funnily though, even with the volume turned down, plug in earphones and its max volumes and is painful!

I tried using the HARD unit but had problems from day 1 so gave up.

+1 on in ear earphones. They double as earplugs. Also had a HARD unit but gave up and you never know when its out of battery.

I use a sceamer with the Escort and amplified speakers with the Bel Sti. Can hear either at those speeds where a detector is most needed.

My TPX unit came with both blue tooth audio and a cluster of 3 red LED's
I mounted the 3 LEDs on top of my Tacho/Speedo in very good sight and it works very well for me. (more of a visual guy)
I have not fitted the Audio and don't think I will...thats after 12700km.
Thats the detector and if you look through the screen you will see the cluster of LEDs perched on the gauge panel
Best Frenemy you could have!
I had HARD before, but the requirement of batteries, plus its unreliability, I doubted if it would actually go off when I really needed it. Plus, how do you know the batteries have suddenly died mid ride?
Radar is plugged into my Baehr system now, so all audio is fed to my helmet via single cable and prioritised etc

are there any radar dectectors out there that use bluetooth to transmit the signal? I have a bluetooth intercom headset that i use on my bike.

I tried using a dongle to transmit to my Scala but I couldn't get it to pair.
I'd be very interested if someone has got one that will.
I'm using a hard at the moment, can test the battery mid ride by switching radar off and on again.

audio is by FAR the best signal to use as you process it faster than visual.

Agreed but I'd like it without having to plug in wires all the time.

Absolutely. Screamer for me. Got sick of accidentally unplugging my earphone connection a good few years ago.
STEVE!
The whistler hard units I had (I had two as batteries dont last long) would flash to give me a low battery warning - but yes it seemed like all the time they were giving a low battery warning.I had HARD before, but the requirement of batteries, plus its unreliability, I doubted if it would actually go off when I really needed it. Plus, how do you know the batteries have suddenly died mid ride?

I did have an uber bright LED on my dash which worked good - but then the whistler cruisader doesnt have audio!
Good idea!

I use ear phones at the moment but had a powered speaker hard wired on the bike. Found the speaker not quite loud enough for me so am planning an up grade. I would like to get back to the speaker as it means I can just get on and go knowing it is all powered and working. I used to have a wireless system that played audio as well so you knew that it was still working but it was a home made job and slowly died on me. It was bloody good though as no more wires to think about.
