I have been hearing alot of good things about the Valentine One, what are you guy using

 

Escort Passport 8500 X50 baby!

 

+1 I love mine, have yet to get a ticket and I speed everywhere.

 

I have the Bel RX-65. Pretty much the same as the X-50, but with voice alerts.

Love it!!

 

Adam and Martimus, where did you purchase your radar detectors? Just got a $204 ticket the other day. I just have to learn the hard way.

 

at the time I got a good deal on mine from Amazon.com I had a coupon for 20% off anything. So it made it the best deal. Just have to shop around my friend. I have the blue one also I figured the glare from the red one would hurt my eyes on long drives or be distracting at night.

 

v one i hear is awesome, i was thinking of buying the solo2 from escort purely for the cordless functionality

but i think i am going to go valentine 1

 

x2 I have had a 8500 for years and it has paid for its self man many times over. VERY worth it!

 

I did the research and ordered the V1 last week. According to my UPS tracking # it should be delivered on Wed. I also got the concealed display too and will post pics of the hardwire install when I do it.

 

I'll be ordering a V1 for my 07.

 

I use a Whistler DE1740C and it's paid for itself (in avoided tickets) many times over.

 

I use the V1, have for years. On the 05 I used a fused add a circuit in the junction panel in the passenger kick panel to hardwire the connection. Ran the RJ-11 (phone cable) up, inside the pillar cover. Then I ran the cable under the headliner (following the map light wires) and exit the front of the headliner (near windshield) and to the radar detector. Mounted high on the windshield it can still pick up radar from all angles.

 

Cobra Electronics XRS 9930 12 Band Radar/Laser Detector... works great w/ exception on arial?!? -Fighting that later this month

Got it from work

 

I use the same one but I don't think it picks up laser. Drove past a cop with his gun out and the darn thing didn't beep or do anything. Good thing I was only going 7 over.

 

I love my passport 8500 X50.......

 

Our airplanes use distance marks in the breakdown lane to calculate speed. If you slow way down in between the marks they can't prove your speed. You can use a radio (scanner) tuned to their frequency to tell what area they are in.

Valentine V1 all the way

 

I think we need a Poll on this thread, is there a way to add one so everyone can vote?

 

It's supposed to... haven't had a situation to test it yet (*knock-on-wood*) -check to make sure all alerts are on; by default only 2 are on.


Thank you for the info, I'll remember that!
