like i said...ive never found arrows terribly helpful. i borrowed a v1 prior to my purchase and while it was a nice feature, as i stated in my above post...if you're driving along and get a Ka hit on the freeway it'll likely be a strong hit if its behind you, and if it doesnt go away within a second of driving at freeway speeds....logic tells you its behind you. you have 2 options - slow down and let it pass, or speed up and drive past it. i dont need arrows to tell me where the radar hit is coming from. id rather use simple logic to determine where the LEO is.

a radar detector is only an aid anyway, therefore any high performing radar detector is all that you need (v1, 9500ix, 8500i...etc). just because you have any of these detectors doesnt mean you're speeding ticket proof. you should know the methods LEO's use as well as how radar detectors function in order to get the best use of them.

i believe the redline has a different sensor on board as well as an additional antenna over the 9500ix
