Default Funny part: " There were 849 RS6s made in the U.S"

Didn't know they were made in the US!!!

Default Too bad the car doesn't have an aluminum coated windshield. Although that could be an ezpass/ipass

transponder, the 2 LED's are the K40 LED's for the front and rear detection. Assuming those are dealer pictures, the guy would have to be an idiot to leave the ezpass transponder on the car post sale.

Then again, I've seen dumber!

Default And one other thing to add; the ezpass transponder doesn't have a row of horizontal red diodes

in the front. Generally speaking, those are for detecting and possibly jamming/shifting laser, like my Passport SRX w/laser diffuser.

Finally, the ad mentions the car has a radar detector. I'll assume it's built in and that's what you are looking at. The box for the X, K, Ka detection can be mounted behind the front bumper skin safely and effectively. The laser diffuser must be in plain sight and not hidden behind anything.
