I’ve had the XTR-540 for about a week now, and so far, so good. Nice display, nice suction cup mount. Minimum number of false alarms. Fairly intuitive setup and menu system. Seems to be holding a charge fairly long. Nice compact size for a cordless unit.

The XTR-540 works great. Finds the radar long before I can spot the police. It is a great tool to keep your speed in check. Being cordless,I can swap to my motorcycle with ease.
Battery lasts about 4-5 days of 50 mile roundtrip commuting.

This new whistler is great!!! The fact that it is cordless makes it universal from car to motorcycle. It’s charger works very well when plugged in to a power point for a short time. The XTR-540 lasts a whole week on one charge on my work commute, (approx 12 hours). Since my commute is 45 minutes to and from work, the battery saver set to 1 hour works well for me.
On the other side, this unit will detect radar alot further than the eye can see, if it alarms, you better believe it.
Buy it!!! for the money, it’s the best on the market. It’s better than my last $400.00 Escort that was stolen.

Overall I am very pleased with this radar detector. The one inconvenience is with the digital compass. When you mount the detector in a different vehicle or even in a different place on your car’s windshield you have to recalibrate the compass. It’s very easy to do, but a little annoying….you have to drive in two complete circles.

Purchased this about 2 mos ago. Did very well, somewhat weak in picking up radar, laser
because usually, the cops are close bye when it beeps. The range obviously an issue. Also,
the last few weeks, the battery life has gone down significantly. I dont travel far everyday
but it seems that I have to charge this every other day or about 5 hours of use. Great looks
though…..
