Had the car a month, put almost 3k miles on it and the V1 has saved me a few dozen times. Definitely reccomend the V1 and Valentine's customer service is excellent.

I have a K40 with a laser jammer. Everything is bluetooth with the sensors and the alert lights are custom installed into the dash. Nothing is visible, nice and clean. Oh and they will also fix your ticket for free.

My v1 was stolen last year and I am looking for fully integrated system that is not visible.

I have an Escort Redline and it's been good to me. Picks up cops from over a mile away most of the time! I always have it set on AutoNoX and it's just stuck to my windshield. I want to hard wire it or maybe change to a hidden one as well...perhaps in the future! But I recommend using one in the Z, it brings you peace when you want to unleash its wings haha.

I have one too and agree... I dont even feel the need to hardwire because the cord hugs the front dash and tucks down to plug..

The only thing that drives me nuts is the suction cup adapter i got. Falls off when the windshield is cold and drives me nutz!

Yea I love my 9500ci

Radar is behind front grille, front laser shifters, and display is in the rear view mirror, fabricated a custom bracket for the rear...

Heres a video of my Escort Redline in action..

There was a cop on a motorcycle up ahead hiding in the entrance to one of the neighborhoods. The redline went off about 1.5-2 miles in advance. I cut the video off before i made it to the cop and slowly looked at him while i strolled on by. He didn't seem too happy that i was going 35 in a 40
