and i was convinced i was going with a V1 until i read this, has the V1 finally become outdated?

thanks!

V1.

 

right now I don't have one, but I am looking to get a k40

 

V1

 

Oh god, not again. Do a search on "radar detectors" in this forum for some good advice.

 

you can go with the norm V1 = #1
or go for a passport and be different... not a difficult choice huh !

have fun.

 

I have the new Passport Solo (I think that's what it's called) and it has saved me numerous times. I like the portability.

I have both, Passport in the X5 and V1 in the 996, and I think that both are great. I like the arrows and bogey counter on the V1, but I get much fewer false signals from the passport. The difference in falsing is significant enough that my wife notices... if that says anything. The remote display is a great feature on the V1 also.

I'd say that it's a toss-up. I think the V1 is rock solid, with some nice features that the passport does not have. I also like the fact that it is upgradable in the future. On the other hand, I think the Passport technology is much better at filtering out false signals.

All depends on what is important for you...

 

The V1 is a staple in all my cars. Never leave my driveway w/o it.

 

I have the Passport 8500 and a lot of people think that the V1 is the only upgradable one, but the 8500 is too. It's all about which one you want. Both save asses. One tells you where the fuzz is, the other tells you "approx." where the fuzz is, for $100 less. Then again, I'm 20 and in school, so $100 is significant.

 

I would so much like to buy the Passport 8500 but my problem is that they don´t send to outside U.S.A and Canada and I am from Denmark in Europe

 

k-40. I always know where the 7-11 stores are.

 

I like my passport.

 

V1 HANDS DOWN

Got one in each car.
