Beltronics STi Driver Review
Beltronics was the first to design a radar detector that cannot be detected by any police RDD (radar-detector-detector). The STi Driver detects radar at great distance away, and this is the detector designed for Canadian drivers.
Use of a radar detector is prohibited in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Maritimes, and all Territories. This makes Beltronics STi Driver the no.1 choice for drivers who live in these provinces or plan to travel across Canada.
Beltronics STi Driver comes fully-loaded with a metal carrying case, direct-wire SmartCode, and an external speaker for concealed installation.
Like any other Beltronics radar detectors, the STi Driver gives you 3 sensitivity settings - Highway Mode for maximum range, AutoScan Mode and AutoScan No-X Mode for balanced performance and false signal rejection.
This is no doubt the best overall windshield mounted radar detector in Canada.

Beltronics GX 65 Review
If you have been a radar detector, you are already aware of the false alerts coming from automatic doors from shops, banks, and supermarkets. Beltronics' new GPS radar detector - GX 65 - is finally capable of locking out these false alerts automatically!
The patented True-Lock technology locks out false alerts, making your driving experience much quieter. The Bel GX 65 also includes a camera database, which gives advanced warning to red-light cameras and speed cameras throughout North America.
Despite the fantastic GPS features on the Bel GX 65, this radar detector is not immune to Spectre 3 or Spectre 4 RDD.
Hence we cannot recommend the Bel GX 65 to drivers in Eastern Canada.
With emerging red-light cameras in Calgary and Edmonton programmed to catch speeders "on-green", the GX 65 would be a great choice if you are looking for a quiet radar detector with good performance, which is also a GPS camera detector.
The GX 65 package includes standard accessories such as the windshield mount, coiled SmartCord, and the user manual. While the GPS True-Lock is a fantastic feature, we found that it does not perform as well as the Bel STi Driver in radar detection. If you plan to travel across Canada, we recommend the STi Driver over the Bel GX 65.
