Whistler CR88 Radar Detector
Best dependable protection for budget conscious drivers.
The Whistler CR88 Laser Radar Detector offers advanced bilingual detection capabilities, providing voice and visual warnings in either English or Spanish. It features a high-gain lens for maximum coverage and POP mode detection, ensuring optimal performance while actively filtering out false alerts. The detector includes Radar Signature ID (RSID) and Laser SIgnature ID (LSID) to display specific alert details, identifying police radar frequencies and laser gun pulse rates. Its bright blue OLED text display, with auto-dim and dark modes, keeps you informed, complemented by dual blue LED alert periscopes for quick attention. The CR88 employs three city modes and a highway mode, along with Traffic Flow Signal Rejection (TFSR) and Field Disturbance Sensor Rejection (FDSR) to minimize false alerts from traffic sensors and collision avoidance systems. It also detects VG-2 radar detector detectors.
