Good thing you have the X50 though? Does it work well? Will it keep us out of trouble on the highway?
Us? What us?
It works well, has picked up troopers with radar (KA) accurately. I've had a couple of "false" alerts of KA - couldn't find ANYONE around me, unless the cop was on a side street or maybe it was a vehicle with some active cruise control.

haha buncha BMW drivers with walkie talkies, that'd be funny to see. Though I think this would drive us crazy... "hey slow down, got an alert" *pause* "NOT! It was a false"

Well I won't be going much over speed limit. I usually stick to the 5-10 over, depends on how active it seems to be and what the road looks like... potential cop hiding spots etc. We'll still move, but safely
