Hey Staggard353 was the display visible during the day at full bright??? I have 35 tints on my back 5 windows to help keep it a bit darker inside,
I looked at the homelink radar mirrors! 2200 bucks. Whew! I'd rather just keep it on the dash. I plan to crack open the mirror over the next few days, but only if you think it will be a workable display! Thanks for your input.

You can see it through the mirror during the day... At full bright...vaguely... I was satisfied but not truly happy... You don't have to buy the whole mirror... You send him yours and the display and he sends it back... Like 400.. I just did that because everywhere around here wanted like 350+ to etch the mirror and they couldn't guarantee a positive result since it would their first time doing something like that... For this radar... I thought the price was worth it...

I have a V1 and never leave home without it. It has saved my butt many, many times. For the money, IMO it can not be beat. Yes, it is expensive, but for what you get, it's worth every penny.
As others have mentioned, I do tend to drive more conservatively with it, which is a good thing. But when I want to step on it, it's good to know it has my back. I will be buying another one for my wife's Van. She has a heavy foot, but doesn't realize it. |

I've pretty much decided to go with the V1 for my birthday. March 28 can't get here quick enough!
Has anyone tried mounting it above the rear view mirror? It looks like it would fit, not sure if the black dot matrix affects the signal though. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Heard the Passport 9500xi was good because of the GPS system. It stores all the false alarms and they wont go off once they are identified as "false." Valentine 1 (V1) has direction arrows on the radar detector to tell you where the signal is. Research and pick which one you like. Don't get a Cobra, biggest piece of poop and waste of money.

The Beltronics work awesome. I have one in my 4Runner and Z. Couldn't drive without one. I've been using one for 8 years with zero tickets. They do work!

I just flew by a Colorado popo and his laser pistol. Shifters shifted. Driver downshifted. Goodbye popo buck Rogers. Better luck next time

The second reason I sold my V1 was the constant false alarms. I got to where I would just ignore the damn thing and ride right through traps. But since I was only doing 8 over - the cops ignored me. I didn't get a speeding ticket in my Talon TSI, Volvo C70, BMW 540, Z4 3.0is, or TL 6MT. Then I put a Stillen supercharger in my 2013Z and the damn thing is just so much damn fun I got two tickets in 3 weeks. So I decided to get a new detector. I went with the Escort 9500ix because of its autolearn ability to simply ignore stationary radar - so fewer false alarms. It works, I like it, I feel protected. I will probably keep it until 395whp seems old hat. |

Most cops think jammers don't work, and we want to keep it that way so they don't put effort into defeating them. Jammers can be defeated when you use the right equipment and techniques. Stealth is our friend. |

The 9500ix does a great job for me.
