    Radar detector mount options?

    I was referring to gaining a half mile in detection distance when mounted high. My best was picking up a Florida state trooper over 5 miles away on the alligator alley. The R3 is still a beast.

    Radar detector mount options?

    How many owners have had issues with their air suspension?

    Not wanting to jinx my self... Working as advertised so far at 96 k miles. Had some anomalies with the AS due to a poor ground connection, messing up the computers.

    Backup camera flaky signal

    Fakra H. You can replace just the plastic shell itself. Pull the side locking clip out and depress the small plastic retainer inside the housing to separate the assembly. This is for the female connector.
