Great product, crappy after sales support / service,
It’s been over a year since I got this product. I spent around 340$ to buy it and another 100$ hard wiring and perma-mounting it on my dash. Since then – this detector has saved me from dozens of tickets. Even with a conservative estimate of 150$ per ticket that works out to over 4000 $. More than 10 times my investment. If you like to push the speed limits – this is a must have!
The build quality is good, it’s easy to use, detection range is great. There are a lot of false positives (I always have it on highway mode), but you soon learn to tune out x band and listen for the Ka band and to a lesser extent K band. Of course – laser detection is iffy and rather pointless in my opinion. After all once you’ve been popped the fact becomes academic.
If you rely exclusively on this detector to warn you about speedtraps – this (or any other radar detector) might not help you much. Instead – if you use this as an additional early warning mechanism and augment this by staying alert, keeping an eye out for obvious speedtraps etc – this baby will pay off.
Now to the less savory details. Beltronics customer support sucks. Period. End of story. If you purchase this product from Beltronics directly – they hear you out grudgingly. If instead – you purchase this product from ANYONE else – they just tell you contact the seller. They will not answer even simple technical questions. They will not help you troubleshoot your device. They will not accept returns or honor their warranties. Their stock excuse being the large number of duplicates or rebuilt units flooding the market. The only recourse you have is to go back to the seller. Optionally I guess you could report them to the BBB.
In my case I was lucky, since the seller ([...]) was pretty helpful and replaced the defective piece right away. And I guess any product you get from Amazon has similar protection. BUT if you purchase it from a less helpful / influential seller – be prepared for the worst customer support ever.
With that said – this is a great product. Just be careful whom you buy it from.

Will NOT Honor Warranty Claims from Amazon.com,
My Radar detector was purchased January 2010. One month later the detector stopped working and would not turn on. I verified it was not the power source or the cable; the unit was receiving power but would not turn on. Well I wasn’t too happy but I knew it was covered by a 1 Year warranty. I called up Beltronics only to find out that they DO NOT HONOR WARRANTY CLAIMS for products purchased from Amazon.com!!! Even worse, they wanted $79.99 + shipping to fix the unit. Needless-to-say, I find their level of customer service inadequate and disconcerting given the volume of product they sell through this site. I will not purchase another Beltronics product and would advise highly against it given their lack of professionalism in standing behind the quality of their own product.

Radar Detector – Makes the Grade,
The Beltronic RX65 had all the features I was looking for especially the blue display. The transaction was flawless and to date the RX65 has performed
exactly as anticipated. Would recommend this product to anyone!
