Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you commute to work or school on the freeway, drive for a living, or just like to go on an occasional recreational trip, the Whistler DE-3500 Wireless Radar/Laser Detector is an invaluable addition to your motor vehicle. Designed with convenient wireless capability, the DE-3500 gives you 360-degree protection from a full range of detection signals, including X, K, Ka, and safety band radar, as well as laser and VG-2 detector detection. In addition, the DE-3500 is specially equipped to detect the rapid bursts of POP mode radar, which last less that 1/15 of a second and are undetectable by non-POP-equipped detectors.
Lightweight and compact, the DE-3500 gives you three-way text display options for horizontal, vertical, or upside-down mounting inside your vehicle. But for your added convenience, the DE-3500 is also ready-to-use with the optional Real Voice Module for voice alerts. And to limit false alerts, the DE-3500 gives you a choice of three different detection modes, letting you avoid the annoyance of repeated automatic door opener and burglar alarm warnings when you're driving in the city, but letting you know if signal strength becomes strong.
So with the Whistler DE-3500 Radar/Laser Detector in your car or truck, you'll be prepared for just about anything when you're behind the wheel.
Note: Radar detectors can be used without restriction in well over 40 states, but restrictions apply in a few states. Please check with your state department of motor vehicles or highway patrol if you have questions about whether there are restrictions in your area.

Lousy detector bugged by wireless communication issues
I have bought this detector one week ago. Upon installlation I was unable to get the antenna and the unit to see each other with the motor running. Still there are certain moments when i can get them to see each other, that is when the engine is off. But you can't get much speed with the engine off unfortunately so I went asking the local Whistler dealer to see if i got a faulty antenna unit. They advised me to return the unit as they had numerous problems with this type of unit and get a 3450.
Great concept, but doesn't work well
I have used Whistler radar detectors for many years and have them on all of my vehicles. This model, which is wireless, was very attractive because of the ease of installation. Unfortunately, the unit mounted under the hood and the display on the interior of the car do not talk to each other well and you are plaqued with messages and beeps saying they are not communication. After having spoken to Manfacturer technical people and doing what they suggested, I have returned the unit for a new one hoping I just got a bad one.
Great concept, great features,easy to install as there is no wire to run through the wirewall yo connect the two components. Hope I just happen to get a bad one. I will review the new unit after it is installed and, hopefully, working properly.
