Amazing radar detector. Got a huge speeding ticket a while back and choose to purchase this radar detector. Haven’t had a issue with law enforcement since. I can verify its proclaimed range. I detected a Ka band radar from 1 km away on State Route 9 up here in Washington State. It gives a great heads up and can detect radars even if large utility vehicles and many cars are between you and the radar. There are only a few flaws with this system. 1) The X-Band detection is prone to false alarms, this is usually because surveillance systems in stores and radars at airports will sometimes use X-Band frequencies, which can cause false alarms, however these issues are not to common and definitely do not defeat the wonderful detection of K and Ka band. Ka, K and X band all make different sounds when detected, which is a good indicator for the type of speed trap ahead. 2) I would ask that the package come with a fuse tap for a fuse box, as the cigar port is not ideal for power supply in many cars, but fuse taps are cheap and this is not an issue, it would just be a great compliment to users.
Overall, this system is great and if I was going to get a radar detection system in the future, I would have confidence in Thorton again.
Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this good. The Onyx S3 picks up signals long before I’m anywhere near a patrol car. Saved me multiple times already! Installation was a breeze too.
The Onyx S3 is worth every dollar. I was surprised at how well it detects even the sneakiest speed traps. The voice alerts keep me focused on the road, and it just makes driving feel safer.
This is hands down the best radar detector I’ve ever owned. The range is impressive, and it doesn’t give off false alarms like my old one did. Definitely a game-changer for road trips!
I was skeptical at first, but this radar detector really works! It’s saved me from a few speed traps already. The build quality is great, and I love how discreet it looks on my dash. A must-have for anyone who drives often.
