K40 offers radar with convenience and smarts
The Platinum100 radar detector from K40 makes driving less stressful by giving you plenty of advance warning and long-range protection, plus built-in GPS technology for intelligent marking of known trouble spots, enforcement areas, and recurring false alerts. K40 knows you want a smooth journey so they outfitted the Platinum100 with high-performance parts (like a low-noise amplifier) and lightning-fast filters so you can enjoy your time on the road without distractions.
System control at your fingertips
The K40 Platinum100 offers the first ever wireless remote control for a windshield-mounted radar detector. With this handy remote riding shotgun, you can customize and control your detector without taking your eyes off the road. The compact remote includes buttons for menu, dimmer, power, mute, Mark to Mute, Mark to Alert, Quiet Ride, and city/highway sensitivity adjustments, plus volume controls.
Sweet OLED display
The Platinum100's multicolor OLED screen gives you plenty of info at a glance, including your direction of travel, current speed, and a clock, When an alert happens, you can see the signal type and strength detected in a 3- or 5-band bar graph, and you've got many options for what else you'd like to see. Six dimmer modes (including "off") let you control the ambience to suit your comfort level.
GPS-based features
The Platinum100's GPS-based features include:
- Mark to Mute — allows you to mute radar and laser alerts from non-police sources such as automatic doors in a specific GPS location;
- Mark to Alert — lets you mark and unmark any location, including specific threats such as speed traps, school zones, and red light cameras;
- Quiet Ride — silence alerts when traveling below a preset speed;
- Speed Monitor — constant audio and visual alerts for the driver to slow down when a pre-set speed is exceeded;
- AutoFilter — automatically adjusts sensitivity based on vehicle speed
Audible warnings, too
The Platinum100 also offers audible warnings when a threat is detected, including voice alerts that warn you about the specific radar band targeting your car. The audio warnings also include a “Geiger” alert that increases in intensity as you get closer to the incoming signal source.
Filtered information
The Platinum100's K-band filter weeds out signals from non-police K-band radar sources, including vehicle safety systems that are radar-based such as adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, and lane departure warning systems — it'll even filter out K-band transmissions from your own vehicle. The traffic sensor filter offers the ability to filter out K-band signals from traffic flow sensors.
Detects newer technology
Have you heard about MRCD and MRCT radars? Chances are you haven't, because they're relatively new forms of radar that use frequency-modulated bands, which makes them harder to detect than your old-school X-, K-, and Ka-band signals. The Platinum100 will detect MRCD and MRCT threats, so you can be sure it won't ruin your day if they're in use nearby. It also detects incoming laser threats, and K40's trusty RDD Guard keeps you safe from radar detector detectors, too.
Programmable functions
This detector offers multiple user-programmable settings, giving you control over every parameter; you can choose which bands are monitored, and control the Quiet Ride and Speed Monitor functions. The mute function includes multiple options including automatic volume reduction.
Accessories included
The package includes a suction-cup swivel mount, a coiled power cord with 12-volt outlet adapter, and a straight power cord that you can use to hardwire the detector in your vehicle.
