Thanks for all the replies. I know RD's are illegal in VA. I've lived here for 32+ years and since I plan on having this X5 for at least 4+ years, I wanted to hard wire something in when I travel outside the state. I frequent the eastern shore and heading to Greer for my 101 experience in a couple weeks so I wanted this done before I leave. I don't know how accurate my information is but I recall hearing only a small handful of state troopers have this "radar detector detectors" and I imagine it to be rare to get pulled over in the immediate metro dc area of VA. I almost got the STi but went with the X50 black series for its improved range and accuracy. I also got the iPhone app and separate connector to get up to date marks for speed traps and a few other things I'm hopeful it will be useful for.


I found a YouTube clip on the over head area install and hope to get it done soon.

Thanks again
