Cheetah Disguises Radar Sniffer as Rearview Mirror
Not your average window bling, Cheetah's sniffer is concealed in a wide-angle mirror that snaps over your original rearview. The bottom portion of the reflective screen digitally displays your speed, the time of day, or the closing distance to an enforcement camera. The unit is so well disguised, though, it's difficult to operate while driving: The numbered buttons are tucked away on the bottom edge of the mirror.
WIRED Easy installation: clip, plug, done. If you hide the cord, no one will ever know it's there. Minimizes blind spots.
TIRED Took us a while to adjust to the colloquial British warnings. What, exactly, does "accident blackspot ahead" mean? Distance countdown hits zero at camera-cops, not before them.
