What happened to the tire pressure gauge and speedo in the middle gauge cluster?

The Valentine 1 was a very good unit 10 years ago but it hasn't fared well in tests again much of anything for the past 5 years or so...it's far

Default think $399.00 is expensive.....?

You must not know that you can send it back to Valentine and get it updated FREE..........Do you know of any other detector you can do that with?????? That is why there have been no new versions........and what other detector shows you how many "COPS" are shooting at you? and which direction they are coming from? They update the software at least once a year.......

Updates (hardware or software) are great but since brand new units aren't doing all that well in tests; updates to make your "old" unit like "new" still leaves you with a unit that has competition doing better.

Yes...$399 is pricey...not outlandish but hardly cheap.

I'm not really trying to put the Valentine down...I still have one and I believe when I bought it that it was the best out there. But, over the past 5-6 years, it seems as if everybody not only caught up to the Valentine but has since surpassed it...it's big..it's heavy...it doesn't have GPS capability and is prone to false alarms plus test after test shows it's overall performance is just not as good as its competition any more.

OH BOY.... Guys, regardless, the point was that I'm putting the LED indecator in the clock-gauge to make it useful. I suggest you open a radar/laser detector thread and keep this one on topic.
