v1 ftw...

 

lol... the V1 is the ONLY upgradable one on the market... duh

 

V1, Bel rx65 pro, and the passport 8500 xp are all great with excellent range. I chose the Bel because thats all i have used. Last time I checked though, Bel and Escort/Passport merges somewhere. Their newer detectors are very similar and i believe they can use the same plug.

 

i have a cobra radar detector... it does the job. it has more than paid for itself.

 

The Valentine One is still #1 according to the latest unbiased independent radar detector test.

Nobody cares what Radartest.com has to say because it is run by Craig Peterson who works for Beltronics/Escort and he bashes the V1 any chance he gets.

Also, Radarbusters.com doesn't sell the V1 so why would it promote it or produce information that it was better than Beltronics or Escort products that Radar Roy sells.

By the way, the Guysoflidar.com is a group of open-minded guys that are members of the Radardetector.net forum that is run by Radar Roy of Radarbusters.com and their testing proves the Valentine One is still #1.

While with others you have you buy a whole complete unit; with V1 you pay about $40-70 every 2 years to have it upgraded and/or reflashed to the latest standards. I love my V1 , saved my *** many a time.
If I didn't have the V1 I would have the bel RX65

GET ONE NOW BEFORE YOU GET A TICKET.

Bel RX65 and I love it.
I might be buying a laser jammer to go with it so I can have total protection but for now, the RX65 is great.

 

great! thanx for the input guys, now my next question would be where should i be looking to buy one, and how much should i be willing to spend? i dont plan on going street racing every night either, i just drive 10 mph over the limit most of the time

 

spend what you can, and just shop online, you'll save some money. froogle is your friend, just make sure the online store has good reviews

 

if you really dont plan on speeding get a cheaper one like a bel 935 or better, its cheap compared to the others and will more than please u with the performance your looking for

 

For a damn good radar detector you have to be willing to spend over $250 A.K.A. RX65 http://www.beltronicspro.com/
OR
V1 http://www.valentine1.com/.
Just poke around on google.

I have cobra in my car, my boss and his wife both have beltronics detectors in their vehicles. Both have their share of false alerts.

 

I got mine off Ebay from a company that sells them on there all the time. It was pretty cheap, I think around $230 shipped.

 

ahhh settled, im getting the bel rx65, im sure the first time it goes off when im speeding, it will pay for itself =P i hope this doesnt make me feel invisible

 

it has the pop2 mode (Ka) for the 2006 models and by far is the best.
