Looking for a deal on one and I thought about replacing my Valentine 1. Anybody using either or suggestions on upgrading the V1 instead of replacing.

 

Yep I have one. Also have the Max2. Both are WAY better than the V1 IMO. I have had two of the V1, never again.

 

Just purchased the MAX 360. Love it. I've been an Escort fan since the 1980's.

 

I've been big fan of V1 , but all new max 1 2 and 360 outperform

I have all of them installed in different cars and max is the way to go

 

I hope the new generation of Astons come with Apple CarPlay. I find Waze very useful for alerting me of road hazards and speed traps. It would be nice to have its display integrated into the car's infotainment system.

 

Also wanted to mention that I have always been a big fan of the V12 but, lately, I have been getting more and more false alerts as I drive near Audi or Lexus cars. I suspect their blind spot detection and adaptive cruise control are triggering the alerts. If I happen to be driving next to one of these cars I can get as many as 8 bogeys on the display. Does anyone else have this issue? Is Passport any better at rejecting these alerts?

 

Passport is quieter, it has better filter and as results it has less fault alarms, also it filters better the laser alert activate by some of GM cars
The v1 has better long distance alert, it's a little bit faster to detect radars but the amount of false alarm is higher. Another useful feature of the max is its gps, it's possible to mark locations.

And yes it filters better the signals created by modern cars

 

Great information, I passed on the Passport, now looking @ The MAX. thanks for the quick feedback.

 

Check out the Fry's electronics one day sale on the Max2 for today only that someone posted. You won't beat that price new anywhere.

 

Whenever I see these posts I always direct people to radardetector.net. Those people are to speed detection as we are to Cars.

 

Check out this site for lots of useful info on Detectors. I just ordered the new Escort 360 from them, at a 10% discount. Search for Radar-Roy.
