I'm not sure that this radar detector works as advertised. I used it on many long distance trips. I have passed several radar traps without any warning whatsoever from the radar detector. In fact except for the occasional false alarm, it has not given me one legit warning in 6 months of use. Even if the police in my area only use instant on radar, this detector should pick up if people in front of me when they are flashed by the police. Given that it hasn't given me a single legitimate alarm in 6 months of use, I cannot recommend this radar detector.

Pretty good product for the money. Sonic has the best price and service all around. Works great but need to customize the sensitivity in the city.

I have a BEL 955 for a little over 6 months, for the price it is great! On the highway it works flawlessly in the city not so much. Lots of False k bands when driving around a hospital or any drug store, such as Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS all show 1 bar K band and can be very annoying. It works great on back roads away from disturbance and has away given me plenty or warning on the highway (way before the cop is visible). I have gotten pulled on a back road by a cop driving past me over a hill using instant on. The radar went off solid and I had time to slow down just enough to get a warning instead of a ticket. I drive from Wilmington to Raleigh/Greenville regularly, around two hour drive every week and this radar detector gives me plenty of confidence on the highway. I would recommend this to anyone doing lots of highway driving and for the price it is unbeatable.

I've owned several radar detectors over the last 25 years and the Bell Vector 955 is by far the best value, most reliable and well built detector I've used or owned. I wanted another detector when I bought a high performance car, but couldn't bring myself to justify the seemingly outrageous cost of Passport or Valentine. I noticed the 955 seemed to get reasonably good reviews and excellent value ratings. It works fantastic with very few false alarms. It will pick up laser, but when you're getting hit with it. I would recommend ordering some extra suction cups for when they wear out over time. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this product for an extremely reduced probability of getting unwanted speeding tickets.

After doing some research I bought the Beltronics Vector 955. It sounded like it was what I needed for my daily commuting in our radar laden city, and I haven't been disappointed. It gives me enough warning, hence no tickets since I bought it 18 months ago, even on the high speed mountain roads. I wish it came with a clamp to permanently attach to the mirror - suction cups only good for 6 months at a time.
