  1. What's the state of the art in detectors now?

    It's been a long time since I have been here. Last detector I bought from Roy was the then new undetectable STi Driver. Well, time has sure passed quickly. Sadly I hear Roy has since passed away...

    Re: V1 False Alerts from Tractor Trailers

    The new Cascadia Freightliners have radar controlled cruise control that uses K-band. There are a lot of them on the road these days, and there will be a lot more coming since it is the best selling...

    Re: STI Driver going strong...

    I still have the original I bought from Roy when it first came out. I sent it back to Bell a year after I bought it for a software upgrade. It has saved me many times. I just came on here to see...

    Re: The Arrows rule!!!

    It shouldn't be long before other manufacturers start coming out with directional warning detectors. I think V1's patent on the arrows expires soon.

    Re: Time to finally choose

    You can buy either detector with similar results. Do not by a V1 because you will get caught. Been running STi since it came out and love the thing. Fantastic range, but not so good for...
  8. Re: BMW cruise control is interfering with BEL STIR

    Get rid of the car and tell BMW why. The idea of producing a performance car whose gadgetry creates obstacles to performance doesn't make sense. Bummer, but the latest Audis, Mercedes and BMWs are...

    Re: k band instant on in Ontario Canada

    They use moving I/O in unmarked cars also. It seems they got some new stuff over the last couple of years. I notice that when they turn the radar to constant-on mode it seems to emit a fainter...

    Re: Sometimes a V1 Just Isn't Enough

    LOL. A few years ago I was in the same position. I was the fastest guy on the road for like, 20 years with only a couple of tickets to show for it. Then all of a sudden enforcement got a lot more...

    Re: Why buy a "Detectable" Radar Detector?

    No matter what, you're still ahead of the game with a stealth detector. Just one less thing to worry about.

    Re: Why buy a "Detectable" Radar Detector?

    Yeah, you have to wonder where people's heads are who by detectable RDs. The highway police all over the place have Spectre these days. I heard that they wait until they detect an RD, quick-trigger...

    I'm already getting up to 5 miles with my STi Driver. It's very important with the way police are using radar these days, with short bursts at long intervals. Not many keep the radar on all the...

    I rarely get alerts from police using radar anymore. Most of them are using a quick-trigger approachl, waiting for cars that are obvious speeders before pulling the trigger. I have had several...

    The hard case was more or less an answer to a certain area of North American where Beltronics used to assemble its products. RDs were illegal there but a loophole in the law allowed you to transport...

    The things I love about my STi: Stealth, lack of falses and the way it tells me what band I'm being hit with. In the next couple of years I will be upgrading (when the V1 patent expires and they...

    1) I would like to see "the aliens are coming" detection system.

    2) Earthquake detection system.

  18. Re: Any truth to this claim?......Spectre Elite can detect Sti driver?

    It's curious that in the original post here STI-Boy did not return to answer questions about his experience. We also had a guy come on here and say similar things about the Redline. These stories...

    Poll: Re: POLL: Run V1 and RL Together?

    I don't see the point of two detectors. If the V1 is as great as so many claim, why run a Redline and vice versa. My STi does everything a detector should do. I has worked faithfully for years. ...
