    Default 3.851 completly missed Ka trap today.

    For anyone who has 3.851 and thinks your unit could be bad send it in asap. today I was driving to the mall with my friend behind me in his audi running his original 8500 and I notice he has slowed way down. about a minute later a cop coming in the opposite direction comes driving by. we got to talking about it and he said how come you never slowed down and I told him I never got an alert.

    this is pathetic and I'm pretty pissed at V1.

    I sent my 3.851 to VR last Saturday for upgrade to 3.854. They got it Monday of this week, so I am expecting it back soon.

    Hearing your stories of problems with the version problems after 3.826, it makes me happy VR wasn't offering free upgrades to the 3.851 from 3.826 if recently purchased.

    I am glad I kept my 3.826.

    I hope you guys get everything figured out and working correctly!!! That seriously blows!!

    I would have no trust in my unit at all if I was you at this point.

    I'll sell you my 3.826 for $100.00 over invoice!!

    It seems like this is the one to have now!!!

    It seems like VR is having some major problems with these newer units.

    Same here. There was never a reason to upgrade to begin with.

    oh no. in DE they run constant on Ka band. so he picked it up for a good minute or two.

    I never got a single peep from my V1. Usually since 3.851 after I see the cop I'll get a almost instant on alert.

    V1 can kiss my A$$. I feel bad for any regular consumer who does not know any better and for them not to admit the mistake really pisses me off even more.
