Amazon.com Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description Enjoy total-band protection, with alerts for laser, radar, VG-2 and safety radar bands. Install your control panel 3 different ways and the blue text display will read accordingly. Competitive features like City/Highway modes, Quiet and Auto Quiet modes, or Whistler's own 'Stay Alert' help seal the deal, and you can even add voice alerts with the optional voice module.  Total band protection with the discretion of remote installation. |  Directional display allows your control panel to be mounted 3 different ways and the text viewed correctly. |  Compact, high-efficiency antenna receives radar signals. |  High gain optical lens provides increased sensitivity and field of view for leading-edge laser detection. | Blue Text Display
The intense blue text display provides distinct visual confirmation of signals detected, signal strength, and indicates engaged modes of operation. Directional Display
This allows your control panel to be mounted 3 different ways and the text viewed correctly. Audio Alerts
Provides distinct audio warnings for X, K, Ka band radar, safety radar, laser and VG-2. Remote Installation
The Pro-3450 features remotely installed detection modules routed to the control panel within the vehicle: - Radar Antenna--Compact, high-efficiency antenna receives radar signals.
- Laser Module--High gain optical lens provides increased sensitivity and field of view for leading-edge laser detection.
In addition, you'll get outdoor temperature (handy to know when you need to watch for ice) and battery voltage displays. Patented POP Mode Detection
There are new guns out there that operate just like the instant-on guns of the past but with a very tough new twist--POP mode! This new gun is a normal K and Ka band radar gun detectable by most radar detectors made in the past 30 years until it's in POP mode. When the gun is in POP Mode and activated, a brief burst of energy, less than 1/15 of a second, is transmitted and the vehicle's speed is quickly acquired. A detector without POP Mode detection capability cannot respond to this brief transmission. All PRO Series have POP mode detection capabilities. Stay Alert
The Stay Alert feature is designed to test a driver's alertness. Within 30 to 60 seconds after the feature is engaged an alert is sounded; to show alertness, the driver must press the volume, city or the mute button within 3-5 seconds. If a button is pressed within 3-5 seconds, the cycle is repeated. If a button was not pressed within 3-5 seconds the unit alarms at full volume and the display shows an unique visual alert. 3 City Modes/Highway Mode
Highway mode provides full audio and visual warning of laser/radar systems while maintaining full sensitivity. Highway mode is the default setting of all Whistler's laser/radar detectors. City mode helps reduce the annoyance of automatic door openers and burglar alarm alerts by providing an initial alert (same distance as Highway Mode) then remaining quiet unless the signal strength becomes very strong. When the signal increases the unit will alert briefly to notify you of the change in signal strength. Quiet/Auto Quiet Modes
Pressing QUIET before a signal is detected engages Auto Quiet Mode, which automatically reduces the audio level after the initial warning to a low audio level setting. Pressing QUIET during a radar/laser encounter silences audio alerts, while allowing visual alerts to keep you informed. What's in the Box

Great Unit! August 2, 2010
O. Rodionov (Colorado)
It takes some patience and a bit of skill and time to install it carefully, especially the first time around. Installation was helped by very responsive technical support. My emails were responded in hours and overall customer service was very good. After installation is done, 3450 is pleasant to look and work with. Antenna is totally out of sight behind the plastic grill. Display unit is tacked neatly on the left side beneath the steering wheel, invisible to any friendly officer standing outside of the vehicle. Black color of the display unit blends perfectly with my vehicle's interior and there no visible wires. I only used it for a few days, but during couple of longer drives this unit warned me ahead of time of every speed trap I passed.
Pretty good detector June 20, 2010
K. Bray (Cleveland, OH USA)
Installation was pretty straight forward. This detector has saved me from many tickets, but does get falsed by laser cruise controls and other detectors.
Very good value March 31, 2010

This is the second Whistler remote radar detector I've owned, with the first one from 2004, and they haven't changed much at all, except for a few minor improvements with the screen being able to be turned for various mounting positions. I like this detector. It seems to work better than my Cobra remote on another car, and I really like the outdoor air temperature sensor and battery voltage read from the screen. I like it's compactness, especially important for the display and it's mounting ability, as open locations in dashes on modern cars are tough to find and sometimes to get to as well. There are some changes I would like. Even on it's City modes, which are supposed to block out more false alarms, it still has many false alarms. Secondly, the new blue screen is very hard to read except at night; any stray sunlight blows it out. Finally, the laser detector needs more mounting options. Trying to aim it front and back is very tough. This could be easily solved with more mounting options, like lenses for both front and back on all sides and a mount that can click into the top AND bottom AND side instead of only the top. They designed this to be mounted onto the windshield and I don't like anything mounted to the windshield, so I mount it to the rear view mirror mount. Also, the display itself could benefit from being smaller, as well as the wire plugs, as they can be a pain to run thru the firewall and find ample room in a dash to mount. Finally, it would be nice if it could be programmed to read the battery voltage at start up and every so many seconds, with temperature the rest of the the time, instead of only one and having to remember which button to push for two seconds to change from one to the other. Overall, it is a good product, with good detection, and good mounting options, especially for the price. Better mounting options, programmable options, and false detection avoidance would greatly improve this good value product even more.

I just upgraded to another BMW and of course bought me another Whistler Pro3450. Having it installed in the same place as the others, the receiver right below the license plate. The indicator will be to the left of the steering column right over the parking brake release. Can't see it from either door, so just a push of a button and it stays silent in case you need it to be. Other detectors claim 3 - 5 mile detection. Who cares, I want to have good detection within a 1/2 mile on the freeway and a 1/4 mile for city driving, that's when it's most important.
The Whistler is a solid unit that lasts for a long time. I have mine set in City 2 mode and that works best for false alarms. I'm not a speedy driver, but some times you are over the limit and it's nice to have a detector that will let you know of a spreed trap. This is my 3rd unit and I'm picky what I buy. I do my research and get the best for the money. No suction cups or laying on the dash, this unit is remote which means the receiver is located outside the car and is connected to the indicator inside the car. Clean to the sight, soft chirp or louder if needed, and the light can also be dimmed for night driving. That's my .02

If you want a reliable radar detector that does not sit on your dashboard or stick to your windshield and does not cost an arm and a leg, this is it. You need to be a little bit handy to install it. It is your basic remote detector, but gets the job done. I have used this product as well as other Whistler products for many years with no complaints.
