One day, my husband said, “Isn\u2019t there a better radar detector out there\u2026?”<\/strong> When I asked, “Why? Isn\u2019t the current one okay?” he replied, “No, it\u2019s totally useless (-_-).” When I asked why, here\u2019s what he said:<\/p>\n \u2460 Devices mounted on the dashboard make it look cluttered and untidy I see, that makes sense\u2026 “Even if the LCD screen shows various info while driving, especially on highways, glancing down is dangerous, and you really don\u2019t have the time to look at it,”<\/strong> I had thought so too.<\/p>\n So, after some searching, my husband found this: the Cellstar socket-type GPS receiver from CELLSTAR. It\u2019s available on Amazon for just over 4,000 yen.<\/p>\n This easy-to-use socket-type GPS receiver<\/strong> alerts you to speed enforcement cameras and checkpoints with “voice” and “light” notifications<\/strong>. <\/p>\n \u30fbSimply plug it into the cigarette lighter socket with one touch It perfectly solves the issues my husband disliked: “dashboard clutter, not looking at the screen while driving, radar alerts coming too late, wiring hassle, and wanting to remove it near home and only use it on long trips.”<\/strong> I couldn\u2019t believe such a product existed\u2026 lol<\/p>\n This GPS radar detector announces and lights up starting 1 km ahead, then every 500 m. The LED colors indicate: <\/p>\n [Red]\u2026 Speed cameras, red light cameras Though honestly, you don\u2019t really look at the colors. (Because looking down while driving is risky lol)<\/span><\/p>\n When installed in the Panamera\u2019s center console cigarette lighter socket, it looks like this:<\/p>\n Our family opted for the “Smoker Package (10,000 yen)<\/span>“<\/strong> option, which includes ashtrays and cigarette lighters in the front and rear center consoles, so the cigarette lighter socket is conveniently located here.<\/p>\n Installing it here keeps the dashboard neat, doesn\u2019t get in the way while driving, and doesn\u2019t block your view. When using it, it clearly announces things like “Speed enforcement point ahead” and “Beware of ambush area.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Recently, when my husband went touring in the Boxster, the device announced a “speed enforcement point,” so he drove carefully. Sure enough, a disguised police car came up from behind. (Since my husband wasn\u2019t speeding at all, the undercover car turned back.)<\/span><\/p>\n He said, “Because it announces based on GPS data, I can drive cautiously, so I think it\u2019s better than radar. Also, I can remove it near home, so it\u2019s not noisy all the time and very convenient.”<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s affordable and performs well, so we have this GPS receiver in our Panamera, Boxster, and Golf. I truly recommend it.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_8422.jpg\")

\n\u2461 No matter what is displayed on the screen, you don\u2019t actually look at it while driving
\n\u2462 With radar, by the time you notice, it\u2019s already too late. GPS is definitely better from now on
\n\u2463 Wiring is a hassle
\n\u2464 I want to remove it near home and only use it on long trips<\/p>\nCellstar\u2019s GPS Radar Detector<\/h3>\n
