This is not entirely true. While radar detectors are not legal for the general public there is a way around this feature. Since a radar detector does not operate on a bandwidth which is protected there is a way to be "licensed" to use the bandwidth in which the detector operates. Any HAM radio operator has a license to operate devices in this band which just happens to include radar detectors. A state can not dictate your bandwidth use while using a federal license to use said bandwidth. But that is if you really care about using a detector in VA.

I have a V1 for my RSX-S and another for my family's MDX. Got my sister a Passport 9500 (or so, top of the line at the time before the GPS ones), but it got stolen in Chicago when somebody shattered her window.

I love my V1, best mod eva-R

I use the 9500IX and it has worked well on several roadtrips even going to Phoenix last Christmas where they had lots of speed cameras and redlight cameras. I have used it daily on my 50 mile commute for the last 10 months and have always had enough warning.
I hear the redline and V1 are better for cross country driving while the 9500IX is suited for driving around town- probably due to the IX's filtering that reduces false alerts.
I still keep a lookout for stationary LEO since Laser is the biggest threat to your cruising pleasure. I have only come across it one time though.
