    Default V1 - can the Serial Number tell you what Software Version?

    I am considering a used Valentine 1 Radar Detector (Version 1.8, no POP)

    Wondering if anybody knows how to deterimine the Software Version from the digits in the Serial Number? I'm looking specifically for Version 1.8 - No POP, manufactured over the past few years

    I don't think it's possible, I seem to remember people saying that when they send their unit in for a software-only update, the serial number stays the same.

    If its the newest version it will say this as mine does


    V1 Description: Radar circuitry known in-house as V1.8—POP2 with Euro Mode. This is our latest and best performer on both radar and laser.

    Upgrade Recommendation: You already have our best.

    This won't tell him if it's a 3.851, because if you put in the serial number for a 3.826 on the website, it says the same thing.

    he just wants the one w. no POP..so if he gets that message then he will know off the bat that its not the one he wants. but true jim, you cant tell if its a 3.581 from the web.
