(More customer reviews)The Pro 3600 is a significant step forward in remote radar detectors for Whistler. I love the concept of not having a radar detector on the dash, windshield, or visor. For many years I have used the Whistler Pro 3450 in several vehicles with great results and reliability. The newer 3600 has the modular design which offers more versatility and also more wires to deal with. I was unable to get an over the phone install price from two local businesses, so I did it myself. Installation is the main reason that it gets four stars. I have had previous experience, but the process is always challenging. If you have not had any experience with this type of DIY project, then get help or have it done professionally. I installed this on my Prius... and yes for those skeptics, the vehicle will go fast enough to get you in trouble. I had to install the antenna in the vertical position using two sided heavy duty sticky tape and the reflector. This was very easy and so far has worked well. Getting through the fire wall is always a problem. I did not drill the recommended 15/32" hole in the fire wall. Instead, I opted to insert a small "snake" through a grommet and carefully wrapped and protected the phone type modular connection with tape. Then I lubricated the taped connection with original ArmorAll and carefully pulled it through into the dash. In fact, I pushed and my wife pulled. Please get help if you have not done this before. The Pros: Unit works very well. Definitely more sensitive and specific than the Pro 3450. The small console can be stuck or mounted almost any where, and is a major improvement over visible radar detectors and is much smaller than the 3450 console. The voice module also works great and is an asset to keeping you alert and safe. (It even reminds you to fasten your seat belt.) Less expensive than competitors. The Cons: May be too sensitive if that is even possible. On the "highway" setting, detects signals from very far away. When in a big city like Denver on the major roads, there are numerous K, Ka, & Laser signals with no law enforcement visible. Some obviously are false signals. But it does keep you alert. No Ku detection which is not yet a problem. Lots of wires to hide. Does not come with enough plastic cable ties. I have not yet considered the optional GPS module because it has to be out in the open where it can see the sky. This totally defeats the concept of a remote or hidden radar detector. I do recommend this product. It is worth the extra cost over the 3450 model to get the technological improvements. It is too early to comment on long term reliability.
I highly recommend the installation as a great project for two people who want to enhance or test the strength of their relationship. Even more so at 2 AM. But, it sure beats spending 3 hours in traffic court.
