Does that portion above mirror affect signal and reception as it is looking through the speckled portion of the wind shield?

I'm using Redline since I'm in VA. I would get the Max if it was undetectable.

I know the 9500ci looks nice, but trust me on this, the jammers they use with the kit is just a LI unit. if you want the best jammers, get the AL priority, it hand down beats any other hardware out there on the market.

My car is setup with the ALP with 2 front and 2 rear sensors + escort max for radar detection.

However, the max isn't great, but I haven't decided what I would replace it with

ALP works against the f**king speed cam?

NYC has a stupid traffic law, 25 Speed limit around the school zone.

I wanna know if ALP will send that fucker box with wrong reading or can't read at all lol

Haha, it all depends on what kind of tech this speedcam is using, if it's a laser speed sensor, than yes it would jam it. If it's radar based, than no. These are laser jammers which does nothing to radar signals.
