    Default Buying a radar detector in Miami, FL...

    Hi guys,

    Great forum. I am looking to see which radar detector do people use in the Miami area. Im debating between the Valentine 1 and BEL STI, but wanted to see what the miami folk use.

    I currently drive a BMW 335i "spiritedly" mostly on highways and large roads (2 lanes or more each way).

    Thanks

    I don't think there's anything unique to Miami that should influence this decision any more than the usual criteria people use to determine their preference (i.e., noise tolerance versus desired sensitivity).

    I use a V1 with X off and I get an earful with each CVS, Walgreen's, and Publix I encounter, but I've never been caught off guard by LEOs, either. I'm in the Kendall area (Turnpike/874/826/878/836 are my usual routes) for whatever that's worth.

    Radar detectors are legal in Florida so I don't see why you are considering the STi unless you make trips up to VA. The V1 is the best RD for highway driving.

    Thanks for the reply guys. I know that the STI is great for city driving, and V1 for highways. I jump on both, but mostly highways so wanted to see what Miami people had.
