From the 2004 SML test, "The Valentine One was the only detector to report laser when the laser was fired at a vehicle in front of it in the Trailing Vehicle Test."

From the 2004 SML test, "The Valentine One was the only detector to report laser when the laser was fired at a vehicle in front of it in the Trailing Vehicle Test."
I rest my case.
Is that a 2002 WRX?
A little comparison from 2000:

I couldn't believe the great price on this V1 mirror.

That's 49 in dip$hit years. :lol:
The Valentine One is the undisputed winnner in the "least detectable by a RDD" category. For those unfortunate people who live in a state or country where radar detectors are illegal or who happen...
It's nice to see that everybody agrees about the V1's laser detection and most of the tests back it up.

Looks like a piece of crap that doesn't work just like all RMR stuff. I read the installation instructions and there is a lot of misspelled words and it seems like a scam.
A false Ka POP can be caused by other leaky radar detectors that are crappy or it could be instant-on Ka that is seen as a POP signal because it is a quick alert.
I guess that is the price you pay for the "best" POP protection......FALSING all the time so you have to turn it off. Doesn't it seem that everything a radar detector supposedly does well increases...

It is only supposed to affect X band according to Valentine Research but others have suggested that it filters K band as well.
Let's look at the biased Radartest.com's false alarm test. Wow, the V1 gets 1 more false than Escort and it is on X band which I have turned off so I get zero falses.:lol:
