What’s the difference between a portable and remote radar detector?
A. Radar detectors are available in two distinctly different platforms… portable and remote. Portable units mount on your front windshield and are powered by a cigarette lighter/power outlet. They offer very good performance and are capable of being transferred to other vehicles.Remote units feature a front and/or rear externally mounted receiver for exceptional performance along with internally mounted audio and visual warnings. These are custom installed and blend in naturally with the vehicle interior.
