Just wanted to update everyone on the two newest remote display detectors, that are going to hit the market soon. But, they are pretty pricey!

Beltronics STi-R
Already available overseas, it's making it's debut here.
All the same features as the STi, but with 2 improvements. First, user selectable, Ka segmenting. Basically, this allows you to filter out certain portions of the very wide Ka band, to hone in on the bands used in your area. This is a big draw for international markets, as it makes the detector very universal. Second, there should be an improvement in laser detection, as the receiver module will now be located near to the license plate instead of on the windshield.
It's made up of five components: control module, display module, interface module, combined radar and laser receiver and amplified speaker.
Cost? Suggested retail of $1,099.95
Escort Passport 9500ci
This remote display detector combines all of the technology of the 9500i model (GPS antennae, GPS lock feature and Ku band) with the technology of the Beltronics STi Driver (invisible to radar detector detectors, dual front antennae, and RF antennae lens)
It's made up of nine components: control module, radar and laser receiver module, display module, voice speaker, interface module, GPS module, two grill laser shifters and a license plate laser shifter.
Cost? Estimated retail of $1,999.95
