Thanks for the info. I actually do have a 1995 L. But I got the windshield replaced a couple years ago due to an errant rock on I-294. So perhaps I got an older than '95 windshield? They told me that it was OE windshield since no aftermarket supplier makes the windshield for the SVX.
Kind of a funny thing happend. They replaced the windshield with a brown colored tinting. The rest of the car had a blue colored tinting to the glass. I complained since it didn't look right and they swapped it out for the blue colored windshield. Did I have the titanum coated version then give it back for the regular version?
Regardless, the IPASS still doesn't work and I wanted to get some people's opinions on it before I got a new radar detector and found out the hard way that it didn't work.
Can you tell me where I can find reliable information on BEL and Passport radar detectors. From the information that I can find, it tells me that V1s are the hands down winner in each test (Car and Driver)
Thanks!

Yoshi,
If you do a search on Radar Detectors, you'll probably find a recent post with the address for test results. There was actually a recent discussion on this very thing.
I run a Uniden LRD6275SWS. It doesn't work as well as it did in my Sidekick, but, it works fairly well. I've complained about it not having enough range, but, it saved my butt this morning and warned within a mile of the Policeman I was approaching. Good thing too -- I was about to hit a 45 mph speed limit at about 75 (wasn't paying attention and, it was a 4-lane highway). Of course, with some of the newer radar, the only thing a detector is good for is to beep out the words "you're screwed" (which I've also found out, first hand).
