1. A vehicle computer system (VCS) located in a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one controller in communication with one or more wireless transceivers, the one or more wireless transceivers configured to communicate with a radar detector configured to detect signals from a radar gun, the at least one controller configured to;
establish communication with the radar detector;
receive a message from the radar-detector that includes information related to an alert from the radar detector and a priority utilized to determine whether to output a notification over an in-vehicle communication using the priority;
output a notification in the vehicle utilizing the VCS based upon the message received from the radar detector and the priority.

Abstract
A vehicle computer system comprises one or more transceivers in communication with a radar-detector and an off-board server. The vehicle computer system further comprises a processor in the vehicle computer system in communication with the one or more transceivers. The processor is configured to receive a message from the radar-detector that includes information related to an alert, send data to the off-board server utilizing the one or more transceivers, the data including information related to the alert, and output at the VCS a notification based upon the message received from the radar-detector.
