  • Patent number: 4801938
    Abstract: A remote output indicator for use with a radar detector providing a perceivable output indication to detect signals from an operating radar within an automobile having a rear window and a rear deck disposed near the rear window. The remote indicator includes a rear brake light housing and a mounting means for connecting the rear brake light housing to the automobile generally near the rear window. The radar detector is mountable within a housing space within the rear brake light indicator housing. A remote unit is disposed near the rear brake light indicator housing for sensing the radar detector perceivable output indications and providing an output signal in response thereto. A console receives the output signal from the remote unit and provides output indications which are perceivable by the driver of the automobile.
