I agree with the others. I just want to reiterate what CJR238 said about the original fuse. Make sure you keep the same amp fuse in place. The purpose of the fuse is to blow if the current gets too...

I agree. I just went from an X50 to a refurbed V1. After programming the V1 to auto-mute K band per the instructions in the sticky, I found it MUCH quieter than the X50 ever was.
This is just a hypothesis, but maybe he was hit by IO from an off axis 35.5 GHz Ka radar. Possibly a Kustom Golden Eagle. Based on the latest GOL off axis testing, its seems likely that an off axis...
If he doesn't send you a closeup picture that shows a clear serial number, don't buy it.
Do you have K band auto-muting enabled?
Check out the service policy on Valentine's web site: http://www.valentine1.com/service/#1
Note that it says that they will not repair any V1 that has an unreadable serial number. So make sure the...
I bought a V1 a couple of weeks ago from VR and it has version 3.863. I don't know what (if any) fixes were made though.
This thread has some info on the different versions up to version 3.851:...

I have found this to be true with my 3.863 V1 as well. With X off and K-band auto muting setup properly, my V1 is MUCH quieter in Big L mode than my X50 ever was in City NoX mode!
I just bought a V1 a little more than a week ago. I too was on the fence about buying a used one with 3.813 or a new one. I was pretty close to getting a used one off Ebay (after questioning numerous...
So if I bought a V1 off Ebay that is out of warranty, sent it to VR along with $45 for a tune up, would I then have a 12 mo. warranty after the tune up?[/quote]
You know, I have to say I think I...

I read in another thread that the refurbished units had a 10% discount. I haven't called Valentine to confirm this though.
I am considering replacing my X50 with a V1. However, I am torn between buying a new/refurbed V1 from Valentine and trying to find a used one that has the 3.813 firmware. If I do go with the used...
Got your PM twentyseventy.
I think I am available on the 4th, but not the 11th. I don't have any radar or laser equipment to contribute though. Let me know when and where, and I will come out if I...
Make sure your windshield wipers and/or window tinting aren't blocking the X50's view of the road. Your X50 needs to be high enough that it has a clear view of the road from the front and the rear....
With small round headlights, you may want to use the smaller foam brush that comes in the Veil can. Mask the headlights really good. Then make horizontal strokes, running off the headlight onto the...
Also, are you sure the cops were targeting you with their laser gun? It could be that every time you've seen them shooting laser, they were busy shooting someone else. This is often the case on busy,...
I bought an an Escort Passport X50 from Best Buy last year. When I purchased it, I asked the sales rep about purchasing an extended warranty for it and he told me Best Buy doesn't sell extended...
Sure.
I was heading home after meeting my wife for lunch. I turned on to a local parkway with a speed limit of 45 mph. I accelerated quickly and realized I was going 65 mph. I knew the police run...
Thanks. And thank you for the great product. Its already saved me one ticket.
To add to what The Veil Guy said, here is what worked for me:
Make sure the end of the foam brush is well saturated with Veil, but not dripping. Start at the top of the headlight and make one...
Someone had sent me a PM asking to see photos of my Veil application on my black 2000 Ford Mustang. I am posting them here for anyone who is interested. A single layer of Veil has been applied to the...

This story is a week old, but I don't see anything about it posted on the board.
