    Default Hi From France

    I'm thinking to get a radar detector to use in France, I don't know much about it but I'v' read that Valentine One is a good one... Can anyone share a thought about it?

    Welcome to the forum. I can't speak about the V1 except that it gets rave reviews. Lots of people on here can vouch for the V1 and give you plenty of details, background.

    I don't live in France and I know that radar detectors are ILLEGAL in your country, in case you care about this issue start asking more questions, otherwise V1 is a very powerful RD.

    All the best and drive safely!

    It's my personal opinion that the V1 has been the best windshield mount ever made since day one. They lack stealth from radar detector detectors but are in terms of detection, top notch. If you are looking for stealth go with the Escort Redline or an Escort remote.

    Why would you buy the STi over the Redline? More sensitivity with the same basic features.

    Salut et bienvenue ici.

    If you travel in Belgium be aware they use Rdd .

    You should read this link :STi for Europe? • Flitsservice.nl

    A remote rd can be costly in France , if a rd is found ''attached'' to a car
    the car could be seized , but you have to be very uncarefull to let this happen.

    The next step is the laser threat.
    O divine art of subtlety and secrecy!
    Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible;
    and hence hold the enemy's fate in our hands.

    When we (in the illegal areas) went for the STI in 2006, we had no other choice, no other stealth RD on the market, now we have the STI, already tested in real life for over 3 years by a ton of drivers and a brand-new product, this Escort Redline, that so far nobody has yet tried it in REAL LIFE, we have to hear lots of Real Experiences with this Redline, until then the STI is still on the market AND on a little lower price (but still higher than the $450 I bought it for 3 years ago), so what would you buy if you had to choose NOW btwn these two products?
