The Pro 78 SE also offers all of the features you would expect in a high performance detector. It will detect POP mode radar and provides Whistler's Real Voice™ alerts. The Pro78 SE provides an intense blue text display with and auto-dim feature, which makes the Pro 78 SE easy to read both day and night. Designed with the professional driver in mind, the Pro 78 SE includes a hardwire kit, non-skid dash pad, and three year warranty.
The Whistler Pro 78 SE also delivers several features that are new to Whistler. These are: "periscope" blue alert LEDs on the top of the unit, and true VG-2 immunity. Other Whistler detectors employ "VG-2 cloaking", in which the detector shuts itself down when it detects the VG-2.

Fantastic great value Radar Detector
I use this product in Auckland, New Zealand on a variety of different roads, City, Rural and Highway and this works perfectly on all different situations. It's great for long-distance detection but also has the occasional false read which isn't entirely a problem but can be irritating.
Very happy with the product
We use it to travel from the country to the city and it has saved us many potential speeding fines. We are also happy with its performance on the occasions we are in the city and using it.
Satisfied Customer
Unit was great price, [...]
Great until speaker issue
I use it driving on the highway about 70 miles each day. I had to turn up the filters and turn off the laser due to local interferance. There was no english manual. Worked great until the speaker went bad and now it sounds like the speaker is blown out and distorts everytime it goes off. It's also bigger than I expected. I would still recommend but am not completely happy with it.
The Pro 78 SE has paid for itself
We use the product every time we drive. I really like the blue display. The dark mode goes completely black
Unhappy with display
I would not buy this again. You cannot read the blue LED display in daylight. And even in "City" mode, it picks up everything! But my main gripe is the illegibility in daylight. The red display is better. I'd like to exchange it.
Excellent Range
I ordered this after receiving a ticket for 62 in a 45. Most driving is in Virgina so I needed something that would provide enough range to be able to put it away. This detector provides excellent range. I have compared to to an older one I have and there is no comparison. The only real issue I have with it is the display is still bright when set to "dark" until it detects something. I used a piece of black fabric (found in new laptops that is between the screen and keyboard), cut it to fit in between the LEDs and the screen on the inside. With this in place and set to "dark" it is completely dark. When set to "dim" or "normal", you can read it just fine. Another "issue" that isn't really the fault of the manufacture, is the case isn't very durable if dropped. Just don't drop it!
Whistler Pro 78 SE
Excellent product.
Best detector out there for that price
Purchased the detector for use in my car in AU. Works great and is easy to switch features on and off. Considering buying another for my other car.
Ugh! Not Acceptable!
Put product in car with another detector which I have used for years and know it works well. Compared performance to known detector and this unit gave false readings, did not give readings when it should have. In one case it did not give a reading until I was about 25 yards from the cop when my old unit had been going off for half mile. Got same results with my old unit turned off to make sure the two detectors were not interfering with each other. Whistler is an old brand so I don't know if I had a defect or they all suck. However the seller handled the situation exactly the way they should have, professionally, quickly, and efficiently. So you can buy from "Buy Radar Detector" web site just don't buy a Whistler. Beltronics is my choice.
