K40 Electronics Announces New Translucent Arrow Design Integration Option with Radar-Mirror.com

Built-in radar and laser systems display police alerts with arrow indicators in rear view mirror

March 12, 2019, Elgin, Ill. – K40 Electronics, a premier police radar and laser technology manufacturer announced today its built-in radar and laser systems offer a new translucent alert arrow display with the K40 Radar-Mirror integration option.

Factory Appearance with A Vanishing Display

The Radar-Mirror modification service creates alert arrows that illuminate through the rear-view mirror glass when a K40 radar and laser system detects police speed enforcement. The discreet .08" arrows vanish and the mirror returns to a factory appearance when the K40 system is not alerting.

Non-Permanent Procedure Also Retains Mirror Auto Dim Function

By utilizing a custom transflective process to display the arrow indicators, the Radar-Mirror service is unobtrusive and 100% reversible. The service also retains the auto dimming function of all rear-view mirrors.

Interior Color Scheme Matches Available

In addition to the standard blue alert arrow display color, red, green, amber, and other custom arrow colors can be ordered to match a vehicle’s interior.

“We feel the K40 Radar-Mirror is the ultimate integrated display solution for a K40 radar and laser defense system,” said Scott Wheeler, Founder and President, Radar-Mirror.com. “Now installers have another location for the standard LEDs provided with a K40 system that’s easy to view, yet looks OEM and doesn’t create a permanent modification to the vehicle.”

Immediate Availability with 24 Hour Turnaround

The new arrow display option for K40 radar and laser systems is available directly from Radar-Mirror.com for nearly all late model vehicle rear view mirror applications currently on the market. Typical mirror modification turnaround time is 24 hours.

K40’s built-in radar detector and laser systems are also immediately available from K40’s nationwide network of authorized dealers and automotive dealerships. With the high level of customization a K40 system offers, drivers can obtain a personal system design recommendation by calling K40’s Consult Line at 800-323-5608.

We’re pleased to offer another radar and laser system installation option that can meet dealer and driver needs,” said Rachel Clark, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The K40 Radar-Mirror offers an upscale alert display that truly enhances the driving experience.”
