    I've seen it alot but have no idea what it really means. The manuals just confused me. So what does the VG2 mode in Radar Detectors mean?

    Vg-2

    "Stealth" is a generic term used to describe any radar detector offering some type of VG-2 protection. This protection can take one of two forms. Detectors offering BEL's VG-2 Guard simply emit an alert and then shut down in the presence of VG-2.

    On the other hand, units offering BEL's Shadow Technology emit an alert, but continue to offer uninterrupted protection in the presence of VG-2. Shadow Technology does this by masking the oscillation frequency of the detector, which hides it from police VG-2.

    VG-2 technology is used by police to detect radar detectors..Depending on which "guard" you have embedded in your radar detection system it will either shut down, or with the shadow technology hide it from police using a mask. Hopefully this helps
