    Almost constant Laser Alert from rear - error?

    Driving to work today I started getting a strong and clear laser warning from the rear. It then persisted for the next 20 minutes with only small interruptions. This can't possibly be correct as I...
  6. Re: Leaving the radar detector connected in the sun....

    not gonna lie...kindof funny to see all the over protective v1 owners get pwned by the actual USERS MANUAL!! :eek:
  7. Re: Leaving the radar detector connected in the sun....

    wow you guys are some angry people!

    Personally I don't think 400$ for a detector that can consistantly save me from 400$ tickets is a lot of money. I'm going to leave it mounted all the time. I...
  8. Re: Leaving the radar detector connected in the sun....

    I get that you guys are very protective of your V1s....but seriously, the V1 is made up of the same solder and circuit boards that most all electronics are made of. I am surprised that most of you...
  9. Re: Leaving the radar detector connected in the sun....

    well I am never in an area where my car would be broken into. How serious is the threat of the sun?

    Re: Valentine One in North Jersey...

    well if the V1 is saving people from laser than I guess I will be getting one....I am just worried about the trend of cops switching to all laser, might make the v1 useless in NJ!

    but to be clear...

    what is the point of the V1 even having laser detection? Seems like it is really good at radar and offers no protection against laser...is this correct?

    Re: Valentine One in North Jersey...

    so basically the V1 offers NO defense against laser?? Once it tells you about it your already done?

    What's the point of even having one, when I'll always be worrying if a cop is using laser???

    Any of you jersey guys have experience with laser? Does it buy you any time if your valentine receives scatter from cars in front of you?
