I know there are a few that have the LI installed on the rear.
Leading evidence: 'Install on the rear' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check $10' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I sent the remote plus a check for $10 to K40 and they sent me a new remote that uses AAA batteries.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I guess these only became available last year and are still kind of rare. I think I'm going to get one but would hate to reinvent the wheel regarding installation. If you have one, give me a shout. Thanks!
Sounds as if the Escort SRX probably does a similar function with front & rear emitters. Rear emitter is on the top of the license plate frame, the front two are mounted in the air intakes. Seems to do well.
Does anyone have a Laser Interceptor installed?
...Front and Rear?
Where did you mount on the rear?
...both above license plate or is that too close?
Based on the link to Guys of Lidar above, it looks like the LI is the best product.
Anyone have a K40? I cannot find a comparative tests with that product.
Are there any recent install threads on a 996? I saw a YouTube video of a guy showing his install on a 997. It looked pretty straight forward to install near the radiators.
I've had several K40's on a number of different cars over the years and have always been happy with them. On two of my cars, I have the K40 laser jammer (front only) and they definitely work. On one car, I have front and rear radar, which I think is overkill. K40 told me that rear laser is definitely unnecessary, and I agree. My only complaint is that the radar warning goes berserk whenever I drive behind or near an Audi. It must be their blind spot indicator system or something.
K40 radar and lidar sucks in test that I have witnessed first hand.
It depends on where live if rear protection is need. In FL and GA I have read they do use rear shots.
I have a POS K40 radar detector that came with my car. My V1 CRUSHES it by 3-4 seconds every time. I even ran the K40 in Hwy mode and my V1 in big L mode. Guess who wins every time? V1.
Try to find a Duracell 4A battery for the remote for the K40 system. Only Duracell will work because the end are different on the other brands. K40 know these and they will send you a new battery free of charge. Yes, this is a "AAAA" battery for those you who didn't know this.
K40 made good CB antennas back in the day. They should have stuck to what they now.
Plus there is a new LIDAR gun out the K40 won't jam. Ecsort shifters have simlar issues to K40 but they do jam a little better when the jam.
They switched from AAAA batteries to AAA some time ago. The K40 in my wife's car had the AAAA batteries, and they were hard to find (only some drug stores carry them). I sent the remote plus a check for $10 to K40 and they sent me a new remote that uses AAA batteries.
Valentine makes a very nice product, but I've never wanted to deal with leaving a radar detector on the dash, or having to put it away each time I park. If I had to do that, I would only use it some of the time, and most likely get a ticket when I hadn't bothered to plug it in.
