  1. Re: Settings for Los Angeles/So Cal and POP Question

    Ka is by far the most prevalent threat, followed by laser. X & POP should be disabled if you value your sanity. The day you get a ticket from a POP or X band gun is the day you can re-enable those...
  2. Re: completely frustrated w/ V1 with software 3.872 vs. 3.812

    First off, your brother's V1 is likely dead or suffering from a huge reduction in range from age; a quiet V1 is never a good sign.

    Second, where in CA are you at? Areas such as L.A. & S.F. may...

    Re: City vs Suburbs vs Country

    With the type and amount of driving you do, I'd recommend the V1. The false alarms you do get will be weak signals from automatic door openers from off the highway, which the V1 will locate and...

    Jazzy, all of the test results you just whipped out are pretty much irrelevant in this discussion aside from the August 2009 testing with the Sti-R & 9500ci units. These two units pretty much show us...

    Re: New V1 Owner....Couple Q's

    Not sure if the OP has read this elsewhere, but disabling the Guard will dramatically increase false alarms to other leaky radar detectors on the road. By all means, try it out for yourself, but it...

    Re: Very frustrated with the V1... help!

    In this case GPS lockout would have done no good whatsoever because I rarely drive there. As for muting the V1 more, how would that actually help?

    I don't care about listening to the V1, I...

    Re: Very frustrated with the V1... help!

    It sounds like you're still running factory programming with some mild k-band muting. For most people, this isn't enough, and the best thing about the V1 is that it offers near-endless customization....

    Re: STi Driver vs Valentine One vs Redline

    I agree with this assessment 100 percent. The V1's off-axis sensitivity to Ka leaves something to be desired at times. Don't get me wrong, it's still solid, but I just find it funny how people...

    Has anyone else noticed V1 Moments?

    On VR's website where they post the monthly "V1 Moments", they have an archived list of all the past moments and a page for the current "V1 Moment of the Month". If you notice, the URL for each...

    Re: STi Driver vs Valentine One vs Redline

    Or just buy the Redline at radarbusters with the 10% discount for $449.95 & get free next day shipping. A V1 is $399, plus about $10 for shipping, so it's only a $40 difference at that point.

    Re: STi Driver vs Valentine One vs Redline

    Get a Redline just for this reason. Off-axis Ka is the Redline's strong suit and will be unbeatable in your terrain.

    Correct; they're all S7's.

    Re: My First Radar Detector..

    Congrats on the purchase!

    There's all kinds of information on this site about programming the V1 and how to use its various modes. Drive with it in "A" mode for a few weeks until you get a feel...

    Re: Thinking of buying a 9500ix

    EXACTLY; this is the magic of the IX. I let a friend drive with my V1 (X Off, POP off, Guard On, 30s K muting w/ E&F On) in L mode, which is its quietest possible set-up, who had previously driven...

    Re: Thinking of buying a 9500ix

    Idontgo55 said it best; every RD carries risks and there is no perfect detector yet. As for True-Lock, it will always carry the risk of locking out real radar, but I could also be struck by...

    The V1 is still the best against Q/T K, but for most people nowadays, Ka is the bigger and more frequently...

    Re: Pretty pissed off, poor 34.7 performance

    I have been saying for years the 9500ix is no slouch and more similar in sensitivity to the V1 than not.

    As far as sensitivity differences its M3, then all other RD's.[/QUOTE]

  19. Re: V1 + M45 or Passport 9500ci in Cayenne Turbo with Adpative Cruise Control

    I'm no expert, but any of the laser people on here will tell you that LI's are worth every extra penny over the ZR4 shifters, especially on a SUV. There's a reason why ZR4's cost $450 and LI Quad's...

    You apparently missed this:



    Unless she can kill X & POP completely for her area, I'd say the V1 is completely out of the question for this scenario. Even in that set-up with K still enabled,...

    Re: V1 Def. Broken

    I've never had a detector serviced, so I can't comment on that. However, if it broke again quickly, VR would probably stand behind their work. And even if you're wanting a 9500, you should still get...
  22. Re: V1 + M45 or Passport 9500ci in Cayenne Turbo with Adpative Cruise Control

    Both the 9500ci and Sti-R+ have the same hardware, just different software, and the Sti-R+ has two huge features that the CI lacks: Ka segmentation and the option to disable the radar detector...

    I used to have this problem with my IX that was powered with an Invisicord, which was easily resolved once I moved my plugs around for a better connection. There's likely nothing wrong with the...
  24. Re: V1 + M45 or Passport 9500ci in Cayenne Turbo with Adpative Cruise Control

    x2, perfect advice. With an unlimited budget, get a Bel Sti-R+ and some LI's. It won't cost much more than a 9500ci, but will offer more reliable protection.
  25. Re: New 8500 refurb; Service required right out of the box.

    It sounds like you got the same unit I did, lol. I bought a refurb 8500 (original) for a friend and it flashed 'self-cal' and later 'service required' straight out of the box. I contacted Escort and...
