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. This detector is not the same as the AUS/NZ Model which is called the Bel Sti XR. Some of these same suppliers may also be trying to sell you a fully installed radar system then claim it is a Bel STi-R when it is really a Bel STi Driver put in a home-made weather-proof box. Neither system carries a valid Beltronics warranty and neither system will be sold on its own. It may be packaged with laser jammers or keychains.

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.
How can you tell if you are getting the Bel STi-R AU/NZ model? Look for the STi-R logo or official Beltronics material.
Official Box.
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 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.
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.
