"Service required" = not bluffing
One of my all time favorite radar detectors is broken.
Yes, my Rev. 5, S7-platform, X-50 "blue" will be going in for repair soon.
A few days ago the "service required" message came up and I just reset it....
Today, on a small drive I passed two K-band false locations with nothing but silence. I pulled into the parking lot of the second and pointed the RD right at the K-band door sensor.....
Nothing.
Oh well, it is almost 5 years old...
Any one want to guess the repair bill?
Past: Vector 985, RX 65, a couple Bel "express" units, ZR3
Present: X50 Rev 5, 9500ix, SRX, V1 3.864, ZR3, ZR4, LP 905 (Tied to the 9500ix), C100,

$69, but that price includes a smart cord, 4 suction cups, and a mount. Not bad at all.

Well, if I can get another 4+ years for $70, it's worth it to me.

If you decide not to fix it you could always use it as a decoy in VA

I got one two years ago, but I chalked it up to heat.
It has performed very well between then and the "service required" message.
