Who has been pulled over with...Valentine One Or. Passport 8500 X50
 

I'm considering getting one or the other... but has anyone actually been pulled over while using any of these detectors?

I have been pulled over with one, why do you ask? Just in case you care the Valentine 1 is the best radar detector available. I have the 8500 and it sucks. My friend has a Valentine 1 and it is so much better.

looking to buy one and ofcourse i want the best one

how much do they run ?

Don't listen to lil'evil_evo. The Passport X50 is a great one and about $100 cheaper than the Valentine. I have the X50 and it has saved by bacon a number of times.

I have one for sale

I have owned both, and I sold my valentine one to buy my x50 passport 8500. It has saved my ass, but there are situations that no radar detector in the world is going to help you.

I have a Valentine One and its perfect. I have yet to get nailed for speeding now for 4 years. Its not like i'm a notorious speeder... but its things like passing that usually have gotton me nailed in the past. But now I always know when a cop is in the area and when to look out for them. It works wonders.

I also mounted my remote display on the underside of the hood covering the gauge cluster. It sits just above the top of the tach and is perfect so i don't have to take my eyes off the road or my gauges.

i have had great luck with my v1(s) for 5+ years!!

gotta get my valentine

dont speed. It works better then all of them

Valentine One radar detectors are quite expensive but worth every cent. I look at the purchase as an insurance policy. If it saves you once... its paid for itself. (ticket cost + insurance hike, etc)

I have yet to see any other radar detector receive so many praises as seen in threads like this and the countless other threads about detectors.

I've had an 8500 for the last 3-4 years and have never gotten a speeding ticket while using it, I am usually one to just keep up with the flow of traffic but on the highway I am usually doing 80-85 and the speed limits in IL are 55 on most of the highways, with that being said I still am ticket free. First I had the 8500 (now in my GF's Scion tC) and I now have the x50 with blue display, I like the 8500 also because you can hook up escorts laser diffusers to it (much cheaper than a k40)

well it looks like no matter what i get i'll be in good shape.... i think i will go with the valentine... my friend is going to do a "hard wire" install and the remote display out of the rear view mirror....totally out of site and hidden

he usually charges 2500 dollars for this intall ....with Oem fabric and all...but we are friends after all....500 bucks for the install...

$2500?? Wtf??
