Radar Detector
 

Hey guys any recommendations on a radar detector? I'm looking at the Valentine One or custom install K40. I heard the new Escort is pretty good too.

You have the GPS one? I have the older X50 I think, it works fine but losing all the false alerts would be nice.

Great unit.

+1 on Valentine One. Two sensors and arrows are great. Had my unit for almost 6 years now.

Only worry is hand-held laser units are becoming more popular with the police. By the time most radar detectors give you an alarm, the police have you speed.

One more vote for Valentine One. I have been using it almost 10 years. I don't drive without it.

+1 v1

v1 FTW

The V1 is great. Had it for over 5 years.

I like my 9500 better though. Eliminating the false alerts around the areas you always drive by is real nice. No beeps unless it is a real cop on your normal routes after you block out the false ones. Miss the arrow but you learn the direction by the sound. I did have to send it back to get an upgrade since I was getting false laser alerts from laser cruise controls and other new stuff. It was an early model with the original software.

Can not go wrong with the V1, K40 or Escort. I would stick with one of those three though. Cheap ones are real annoying with all of the false alerts.

V1 owns all in my opinion :nutswinger:

I've been reading reviews on the passport versus the V1 for a long time, and the passport always wins. Here is the latest comparison. I've owned a couple of the passports over the last few years, and they have never let me down, while I think the v1 is a little slow to update.

I have nothing against the Passport (the GPS feature sounds great for those that don't commute between a sparsely-populated mountain and a desert as I do) but I have to say, my V1 is a cherished possession. It's saved my butt about ten times a year, no lie.

Hi all... Just bought the BEL GX65. It is a GPS detector and in my opinion is the best on the market. If you drive similar routes every day it is far superior to any other, even the valentine one. There are NO false alerts....plus notifies you of red light cameras... highly recommended

I never drive anywhere without my Valentine V1......also use Photo Blocker on my plates.........I have been driving almost 48 years.....not one speeding ticket.......but with the V-1 I have started driving way too fast....it saves me all the time..........

Passport SRX

what do you guys think of the Beltronics STI Driver?
