Keep Your Detector Cool

Keep your detector cool

The biggest killer of all electronic devices, including radar detector is HEAT!

During the summer months in Arizona, it is not uncommon for the temperature in the passenger area of a parked car to exceed 150 degrees. High temperatures like this can shorten the life of any electronic device, including radar detectors.

Here are several tips offered by Radar Roy, to keep your car and your radar detector cool!

1: Park in the Shade
Seems to simple, but by just finding a shade tree or a building to park next to can keep your car much cooler.

2: Window Tinting/Sunshade
State laws vary, but if you live and drive in states where window tinting is legal, consider getting it down.

Otherwise, consider a sun shade that you can pull out when you park.

The best protection however in keeping your radar detector cool and extending the life of the unit, it to remove it from the dash when you park and to store it in the glove box or under the seat.
