Default RX65 Blue arrived (Pictures) Radar Detector Reviews (UPDATE)

The Bel RX65 Blue edition arrived today but I am yet to install it in a car. Here are some pictures for you'll to enjoy.





UPDATE

I came across the K-band speed sign with the new RX65 and I noted the inconsistency of the ramp up. We all know the audio ramp up is not up to par with the Escorts and V1's, but the visual ramp up had it's good times. The very first time it ramp up very smoothly: 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 and about 15 feet away from the sign it reached it's last bar.

Then again, it has its moments where the ramp up is terrible. It will jump from one bar to full strength. Overall, I can't say it has changed over than the LED colors and lens cover.

Cooool, post some pics with the display on once you get it installed!

I'm actually surprised they didn't do something like this sooner. Let us know if you notice any other differences with your new RX65.

It looks like a regular read out but with a blue lens.

The "blue lens" also includes blue led's, hence the extra $40.

Lightbulb Re: RX65 Blue arrived (Pictures) Radar Detector Reviews

When we got our RX65 the ONLY thing that we didn't like about it was that they used red LED's. It's about time that they wised up and used a color that blends in better with a cars interior lighting. Not sure why they offer the RX65 with this option, but not the STi Driver Hopefully Bel will be offering some updated product at the June CES show
