Laser Jammer & Radar Detector Fitting in Cardiff
Yes, we fit laser jammers and radar detectors at our Cardiff workshop, for drivers from across South Wales and the rest of the UK. We fit the LaserTrack Flare laser jammer, Genevo radar detectors, GPS speed camera alerts and Target Blu Eye emergency vehicle alerts. In every case, we fit the system discreetly, wire it in properly and then set it up with you before you drive away.
First, tap through the examples below to see what each system does on the road.

Laser Jammer and Radar Detector Builds
LaserTrack Flare Laser Jammer
LaserTrack Flare is a compact, all-in-one laser jammer from Dutch specialist LaserTrack, which has more than 20 years of experience with laser technology. Each transponder holds the transmitter and receiver in one housing, and its front face measures just 14 × 17 mm. As a result, LaserTrack says it is the smallest in the world. Because we fit the transponders behind the grille or inside the number plate frame, they are almost invisible.
What the LaserTrack Flare Laser Jammer Does
- Laser detection. Flare recognises the infrared signal from police laser speed guns, most of which use 904 nm light, and then alerts you with a sound and a light.
- A remote control built in. It also opens electric gates and garage doors and switches on outside lights, typically from over 100 metres away. In addition, up to 50 vehicles can share one gate, each with its own security code.
- A tiny display. The display is one of the smallest of its kind, with sound and light alerts. If you prefer, we can hide it in an existing space in your dashboard.
- A tidy install. Because the transponders work as a network, each group needs just one cable through the bulkhead.
- Kept up to date. You can program and update Flare online through LaserTrack’s web interface.
- Built to last. Finally, LaserTrack gives the transponders a lifetime warranty against water getting in (modified or badly damaged units excluded).
We also line up every transponder with LaserTrack’s infrared camera tester, so each one points exactly where it should. For example, see our Land Rover Defender with Target Blu Eye 2 and LaserTrack Flare, a UK first, and our Porsche GT4RS driver aid install.
Know the Law on Laser Jammers
Owning and fitting a laser jammer is not illegal in the UK. However, using one to stop a police officer taking a speed reading can lead to a charge of perverting the course of justice. LaserTrack itself says you should only use its laser protection mode where the law permits it. For that reason, we explain the settings and the law before you drive away.
Genevo Radar Detectors
Genevo designs and builds its radar detectors in Europe, and Genevo UK supplies them here. Each one combines radar, laser and GPS alerts with a regularly updated camera database. So, as well as mobile radar, it warns you about fixed, average speed and red light cameras. Genevo’s filtering also cuts out false alerts from things like automatic doors and other cars’ sensors.
Genevo Pro II and Pro II M
Genevo's flagship hidden system. Only the slim, detachable colour display is on show, and it pulls off magnetically to switch everything off in one move. Wave your hand to mute an alert. The Pro II M adds MultaRadar CD/CT and Gatso RT3/RT4 detection, and the Pro II can be linked to a laser defence system.
Genevo Max
The top portable Genevo, with a colour OLED display, gesture control, automatic brightness and volume, and a magnetic windscreen mount. It detects Gatso, 3D radar and MultaRadar, with lifetime free updates. We can hardwire it for a tidy fit with no trailing cable.
Genevo One M
A compact detector for regular journeys. It covers K and Ka band radar, Gatso, 3D radar and MultaRadar, plus the EU fixed camera database, and stays invisible to radar detector detectors. Updates are free for life.

Radar detector or radar jammer? A radar detector only listens for police radar, so it’s legal to own and use in the UK. In contrast, a radar jammer sends out a signal on police radar frequencies, which is illegal, so we don’t fit them. Instead, a Genevo detector is the legal way to know about radar ahead.
GPS Speed Camera Alerts
A GPS speed camera alert checks your position against a regularly updated database of fixed cameras, average speed zones, red light cameras, mobile camera sites and accident blackspots. As a result, you get a sound, a warning on screen and the local speed limit well before you reach the camera. That means you can check your speed smoothly instead of braking hard. Genevo detectors include GPS alerts, and we also fit Road Angel and Cheetah systems.
Some Alpine and Thinkware dash cams also have camera alerts built in, so one device can record your journey and warn you too. For more, see our dash cam and CCTV installation in Cardiff, or our Tesla speed camera detection install.
Target Blu Eye Emergency Vehicle Alerts
Target Blu Eye is a patented early warning system for emergency vehicles. It picks up the TETRA radio signals that UK police, ambulance and fire services use, and then warns you when one is within about a kilometre, even if its lights and siren are off. A signal strength display builds as the vehicle gets closer, so you have time to move over safely. However, Blu Eye doesn’t detect speed cameras, so many drivers pair it with a camera alert or radar detector.
- Target Blu Eye 2 stays in the car permanently, wired in out of sight. For example, see our Porsche 911 Turbo S install.
- Target Blu Eye Go is a portable unit you can move between cars. See our Target Blu Eye Go installation.

Laser Jammer & Radar Detector FAQs
Is a laser jammer legal in the UK?
It’s not illegal to buy, own or fit a laser jammer in the UK. However, using one to stop a police officer getting a speed reading can count as perverting the course of justice, and courts take that very seriously. LaserTrack also says you should only use its laser protection mode where permitted. In addition, Flare works as a remote for gates, garage doors and lights. We’ll talk you through the settings and the law when we fit it.
Are radar detectors legal in the UK?
Yes. A radar detector, such as a Genevo, only receives signals, so it’s legal to own and use in the UK. Radar jammers transmit, however, which makes them illegal, so we don’t fit them.
What is the difference between a laser jammer and a radar detector?
A radar detector listens for the radio signals from police radar and warns you about them, usually alongside GPS camera alerts. In contrast, a laser jammer such as LaserTrack Flare uses small infrared transponders at the front of the car to recognise the beam from a laser speed gun. Because they cover different technologies, many drivers fit both.
Does Target Blu Eye detect speed cameras?
No. Target Blu Eye picks up the TETRA radio that emergency services use, so it warns you about nearby police cars, ambulances and fire engines. For cameras, choose a GPS camera alert or a Genevo radar detector instead.
Can a laser jammer be completely hidden?
Mostly, yes. We fit LaserTrack Flare transponders behind the grille or in the number plate frame. Similarly, the Genevo Pro II stays hidden apart from its slim display, which you can remove in one move. We plan every install around your car, so it looks factory fitted.
Do I need a subscription or updates?
Genevo detectors come with free camera database updates, and you can update LaserTrack Flare online. However, some GPS camera alert systems need a subscription for their database. Either way, we’ll tell you exactly what you get before you buy.
How long does laser jammer fitting take?
It depends on the system and your car. For example, we can set up a portable detector quickly, while a hidden Genevo Pro II or LaserTrack Flare install takes longer. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
How much does a laser jammer or radar detector cost?
It depends on the products you choose and how your car is put together, so we quote for each job. Just call us on 029 2070 7275 or send us your make and model for a free, no-obligation quote.
