x2, VR doesn't ship outside the US... so most people who buy them for 450, are overseas buyers.

ValentinrOne can be found in several EU websites for 470 to 500€(1€=1,5$).That's not a bad price,because,if I get V1 off E-bay,I must also pay EU Customs Tax and there's no way to avoid that.Customs Tax is charged for every item above 100€(150$).
So,450$ is a good price for buyers outside NA and also $ to € ratio is in our favour.Thank's to Mr.George Bush.
There are some EU websites (mainly UK or German),that have outrageous prices for V1.I saw V1 in one store for 1250 British pounds!!!.

Snooping around the net,I found one really cool aftermarket accessory for V1.
One German website that sells V1,has developed a speed sensitive application for V1.
This app. controls V1's audio output.Two different speeds can be set,at which V1's audio will be heard.It's not based on GPS.This device gets speed from ECU,speedo or cars speed sensor.It depends from the cars brand/type.
I think it's a great accessory,especially for those,who can't stand false alerts.

There is the speed cheetah mirror which is based on GPS which does this and more. It's only $400 USD for the mirror and the RD module.
