I use a radar detector on my motorcycle, but it's hard to hear above the wind noise. The solution I am working on is a remote LED display unit that would plug into a audio output taken directly off the speaker wires to an audio output jack then on to the remote LED display. I am thinking that the remote unit could be powered off the 12v going into the radar detector via a separate wire as opposed to batteries which could expire at an inopportune moment. The whole unit needs to be relatively compact, robust, and efficient. It would be acceptable for the LEDs to react in direct correlation to the audio signal. I am not up to speed on specific types of LEDs. What would be the brightest types that would provide the best performance in daylight conditions? I have already built a simple led array, but would like some guidance on triggering it off the audio output of the detector. Diagrams/schematics that would guide me in the right general directions would be a big help.
