Sucks.
I have one that I wasn't able to use in my Z28. The cigarette lighter didn't work, and it wasn't the fuse.

you have to use it right
a detector is a TOOL, it is not a ticket preventor like some people make it out to be
also, a lot of people get cheap ones and they get nailed. don't cheap out, get an escort passport 8500 and be happy.

Exactly. I compare my radar detector to a loaded gun. Sure, a gun might make you feel like you can protect yourself, but you can still get killed, or kill yourself if you use it wrong. A detector won't save your *** when you're going 15mph faster than traffic. Even if the cop never clocks you, he still saw it before he could point the gun at you. They're really only good for letting you know it's time to slow down so some other schmuck gets the ticket.
