lol, me too, how anoying is that!

 

I love the V1 got a mute switch on my headlamp/turn signal stalk and the display is hidden in the instrument cluster

mlc

 

MLC, could you possibly post a pic of your set up, sounds interesting

 

You got to be kidding.... so they drove around with 2 rocks in the box then saying they will jam laser? You are such a tool. Don't you owe me $10k from the last bet you made about it not jamming but I provided you proof with a video... and it was done pretty much at point blank range... left all the contact info the police dept, etc in the credits... oh yeah that is a conspiracy also...

guys of lidar, aren't those the little boys that thought they knew how to booger up an install on a pick up in one of your videos that they posted and you referenced? They are amateurs it is kind of like this scenario... you take the best speakers in the world and give them to an amateur and a cheap pair professionally installed will sound better. see it every day... or should I say i have to fix shiet everyday because people read some BS internet monkey, giving biased opinions, such as yours. not to mention all the 23 year old installation specialists... that can't follow a picture diagram, because they can't read....

 

Where have you fellas mounted your v1 radar? i have seen 90% of people putting them up high by the review mirrors..is that the only location....no hidden spots?

 

I loved my V1 when i lived in Detroit but ever since moving to so cal, i can not take all the beeps anymore (left it off most of the time). i dont know what is it, maybe the hills and mountains? This thing is just always going off everywhere i go. I am now using the escort 9500i. the ramp up sux compaired to the V1 but atleast i leave it on now and dont get a headache from it. The key to the 9500i is to slow down as soon as you hear anything. Anyone here having luck with the V1 in so cal?

 

I have been happy with my V1, had it for about 5 years now and still working good.

 

Have the V1 and generally happy with it, though seems I get false alerts everytime I pass an Infiniti FX with the laser guided cruise control. Also it goes berzerk from the LED tail light of the Trailblazer. Weird, called Valentine and they admitted to this deficiency and said they will be addressing it in due time...

 

baseballfanz,
Have you had yours updated? I did that with my older unit and it seems to pick up stuff it didn't get before. I think the update and shipping was about $100 or so. You can check the serial # to see if it can be updated. Quick turnaround.

 

I have used the k-40 for over 10 years now and it has never let me down. front and rear radar plus laser jammer . Custom installed and is it all wireless with a very small remote to control it Awesome!!!! I can't drive 55!!!! 2006 997 S better know as BLACK MAGIC

 

I used the passport and the V-1 on Players Run in 05 to see which one was better. The V-1 by far from telling you where the radar is to the low amount of false alarms. Valentine for life!!!

 

I have a bunch of K40s Calibre and I like them very much, but there will soon be a new detector in town: the Escort 9500ci which is undetectable by the Spectre IV and looks pretty cool with the GPS.

Valentine is the ONLY way to go!

 

+1 v1

 

I think a point that is really being missed is....where are you driving and what is the terrain?

I live in Ohio and there arent any mountains, hills, etc. Just flat wide open space. The grid system of the street tells you how fast you went in a mile

I own a V1 and a Passport. They both work just fine for me. I got the V1 for two reasons...it one of the best performers and it has a rear sensor. I got a ticket while driving 120mph on the turnpike. Noone around for miles, just me and, at teh time, my Corvette. The cop caught up to me in a pursuit car going over 150mph (his claim). I dont know if he got me on radar or not (I assuming not as I would have went to jail) but I realize they can coem from behind.

In my truck (Chevy Avalanche) I like to drive around 75-80mph on the turnpike because the trucks can go 70mph now and I dont think its safe driving with them.

I cold have bought a $100 Cobra and been fine in my truck. Im not goign that much over and the terrain is flat. I just bought the Passport because I didnt want a cord.
