V1 is still going strong, just have to know how to configure the settings. It's never let me down yet and I ride a 187mph monster. ;)

If you've ever taken your newish V1 apart, you will noticed there's a piece of scotch like tape over the rear laser sensor. I've actually removed this, and noticed that the laser warning will keep...

Hey guys, so I have a valentine 1 on my sport bike, and I recently upgraded my windscreen to a light smoke screen, which isn't the full black tint, but it is tinted nonetheless. I've noticed now that...

So I'm in NJ and I've definitely noticed over the last couple years ongoing to this day, that while driving, most LEOs are giving off zero radar signatures while moving. I remember years ago, it was...

I noticed today that my few month old V1 has a bit of a rattle to it inside, when mildly being shaken. It doesn't sound like a broken rattle, but a loose rattle. It seems to be coming from the...

OK guys, stupidly I went to go program my v1 for my bike in my car and used my smart cord to my escort to provide power, while it powered up fine, the smart cord alert led flashed very quickly, and I...

double post!

Lol... Good point John.

I actually ended up getting a new X50 black. It's saved me a few times now and I've only had it a few weeks.

Nice! I used to have a guards red 84 944. Great handling car for sure!

double post.. :(

That gauge cluster in your pic from a 951?

Thanks for the reply, Escort actually confirmed this as well, even gave me an exact date from my serial number.

I just bought off ebay the "PASSPORT ESCORT 8500 X50 w/BLUE DISPLAY 2012 Model
Black in Color and with an even longer range than previous 8500x50 models"

So it's new sealed in box, but how do I...

That's what I'm talking about! I thought about getting a used V1, but who knows how old, if it's the proper firmware, does it need a tune? Etc... All those questions bothered me, I am heavily looking...

Were you speeding while typing this?? lol... Yeah I know... I might as well just save up for a bit longer and throw down for the v1... I do miss my STi though.

:cool:Hey guys, so I can't justify purchasing a new V1 right now, after coming from a Bel Sti Driver about a year and a half ago, driving with no detector since! I feel kind of naked, So I would like...

Is POP the same as I/O? (POP is annoying because other peoples RD's set it off occasionally)

and should I have POP on?
also SWS even worth it?

and on a little side note:
Louisianan Hot Sauce...

Yes you definitely do want to wire it to a switched source. Why? Well because you wont be jamming any LEO's with your car off. Second, you wont have to turn it on and off manually. Third, it will...

This thread is a godsend.

Thank you, after finding that thread 10 minutes ago, I see that x band is very well alive and kickin!! Especially in some towns near me.

Ok, so i'm loving my sti driver..

I am noticing X band seems to only go off when I'm around any sort of shopping mall or group of stores most likely attributed to auto door sensors.

Is X-Band...

As soon as this dirty feeling wears off I will!:rolleyes:

I'm kinda bored right now so I'm going to hardwire it to my sunroof open/close switch and see how that goes.

*update*

Hardwired and mounted just above my rear view mirror.

any tips on best...

Thanks guys. I have the hardwire hotplug (i got all the accessories including the speaker with the initial purchase.)

@Freebird: Thanks! That was the only option I didnt touch in the menu, thanks...

Looked for that yesterday, after the s/n it says 2209 so I guessed that was it.
