Yes they still use flash to get ur no. plate but you will not notice it at all. The flash is Infra Red.

Not sure. But it works like the night vision. IR will magnify the dark spot and show the edges well.
So I gather if the no plate light is bright enuf, the metal fonts will reflect more light and perhaps the image will be a big clustered white spot??
*** sigh ***, getting harder to enjoy a bit of speed nowadays. I am sure nobody wants to advocate speeding, esp in tiny, build up singapore but lets be honest, the feel of the car coming together, suspension, engine, exhaust, etc and maybe playing with the gearbox, be it a steptronic or stick, is intoxicating.

If u like speed, go NS

Free and easy.

It does work but you need to get the latest model to detect the TP's laser or frequency.
Having said that, it will be too tiring to keep up with technology for this speedtrap detector which cost a bomb. Its not like changing handphones or something..
You will be happy initially, spotting the TPs & cameras and getting too confident with the gadget. But all it takes is just ONE slippage and tats it.
So my advice is drive within the speed limit. You will never have any worries!

Junior, welcome to the forums! :wavey:Junior said:
BTW, let me just give a small brief description of how the radar system works in Singapore. This is from personal experience and i have another forum member who can attest to this. (when we got caught ahahahah) i will not name names, but Shaun can help me answer to this also. :ehhh:
Basically, given this scenario. A car is speeding along a road. A police has setup a speed outpost about a KM down the road. A radar detector is setup and is pointing in the direction of the oncoming car.
If car is speeding above the speed limit, the radar detector is hooked up to a siren of sorts, which will emit a whine if the speed limit is exceeded. This whine increases with the car's speed, so they will know if you're speeding very fast and suddenly brake, because they will hear the WHINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEeeeeeeeeee whine... nothing(speed within legal limit). They would have also clocked your speed at that point. If a police officer is pointing the gun straight at your car, they would have spotted you speeding before you even saw them. Given if it was a straight road, it would be about 1-2KM. They would flag you down and book you on the spot without question. The whining sound application can simply give you away while the officers are sitting down and lim kopi...without even looking at you at all.
With regards to the phantom plate..it's only good for photo applications(i.e overexposure due to speed camera, red light camera etc). If kena ambush by mobile squad or police outpost, no way to escape.
Only true way to escape radar detector is either, paint your car chrome or have true stealth designs implemented... :roll: haha no lah, radar jammer or radar detector..but must have equal k bands.
yah ryan is right. the audio cue just lets the cops know that there is someone speeding, to stop him/her, and to check the computer for the speed that it has already automatically logged.
as long as your car is amongst a pack of cars, they cops won't be able to tell which of the pack is speeding. the problem is that when you accelerate hard from a stop or are cruising fast you end up being ahead of the pack and get caught. the only way you'll ever get out of getting caught by a system like this is if you are lucky enough to be speeding, and as you crest the hill or round the curve around which they're waiting, you run up on a whole bunch of other cars. you'll either not be picked up by the computer (shielded) or if it captures a speed and whines, they won't know which car out of the pack was speeding.
..or if you have some kind of radar jammer - but like whiskey said, if you slip once, or if they are using some other equipment, then you are in big trouble. stay safe (and keep OTHERS safe) on the streets.. do all your hard driving on tracks.

:laughing:.......... 
<---- NOT a good situation. the two idiots partying on the sideline turned out to be totally unhelpful. So much for friends! :hmmidont:
heheh jk

Hmm... tis I would not know. It might be true cos the stationary camera is activated via laid cables (at least 2) beneath the road. Once the front wheel hit the 1st cable, the computer module register a "switch on" and when the front wheel hit the 2nd cable, it closes the loop and starts its calculation within split seconds and snap a shot at your rear if you exceeded the set speed.
