Default My Radar (Bell RX65) doesn't work?

Ok, so i got this Radar Detector (Bell RX65) and installed it.... however, everytime i drive past a cop, the thing doesnt even make any signs/noise/blinking.... i feel like it wont really warn me at all.... Do i have it set to the wrong settings (autoscan) or something??? Please Help... Thanks...

Not all cop cars have radar guns

Is it new?
If not you might have just bought an expensive paperweight.(probably did,even if it's working properly)

Here's a link to a real radar locator.

drive past a cop...like on the road?

1) they dont always have their guns on. if their gun isnt on...your NOT going to pick anything up.

2) alot of cops are starting to use laser because its harder to detect and harder to scramble.

find one of those radar signs that tells you your speed. if it doesnt go off, you know you bought a POS.


valentine or passport (i prefer passport, better range than valentine just not as many frillies)
