CONSUMER WARNING:
A few Australian traders online are trying to pass off the USA Model Bel Stealth Detector called the "Sti Driver" as the Australian Model Bel Sti XR undetectable radar detector. This USA model is not the same as the AUS/NZ model and customers should be sure they are getting the real deal like you do when you buy from us. Overseas models do not carry a valid Beltronics warranty. See the unauthorized Beltronics reseller warning by clicking below:

How can you tell if you are getting the Bel STi XR AU/NZ model? Look for the XR on the box and you know you are getting the real deal.
What is the difference between the Bel STi XR and the Bel STi Driver?
The Bel STi XR is independently tested in both a microwave lab and against the Australian radar detector detector "Stalcar or Spectre III" used by police here in Australia before we ship the unit to you. This means that when you receive your unit it is guaranteed to have no RDD detectable leakage. The Bel STi Driver has not been tested and does not come with an undetectable guarantee.
The BEL STi XR also comes off a special production run designed specifically for the Australia/New Zealand territory and conditions. The XR has better heat resistant internal components for the extreme heat levels ewe get in Australia. Overseas models will burn out quickly as their components are designed for extreme cold weather that occurs in the USA and Canada.
The Bel STi XR is a big investment, buy from an authorized Australian business today or you risk having A) no backup support B) no authorized warranty support C) a very expensive paper-weight.
Beltronics Unauthorized Reseller Risk:
The Beltronics warranty only applies to those units sold through an authorized Beltronics Dealers. Auction sites, unauthorized dealers and parallel importers often carry dumped stock from Asia or North America. Beware of these inferior units which could be counterfeit, have greatly reduced security and carry no manufacturers warranty. Units bought from North America have a limited warranty that is only valid within North America. Units that do not carry any warranty from Beltronics will not be replaced or repaired.
