    Default I joined the V1 owners group!

    After a long long time with my ol' faithful 8500 x50...i felt like it was time to upgrade. and got a v1!

    I'm really liking it and i wondered why i didn't do it sooner. Now i need to buy the Color Remote Display now! or the SLIM Remote!

    btw - my version # is 3.813....shall i upgrade it? according to GOL...it is on par with the other revisions but really works well against the forward facing KA.

    3.813 is the last of the non-POP versions of the V1 and one of the most stable versions. You should be quite happy with it, unless POP is in use were you drive, that is.

    Based on the version, you must've gotten the V1 used. You might want to send it in to VR for a tune-up. V1s prior to 3.851 don't have any self-calibration checks so they can drift out of tune without you knowing, until it misses some actual K band threats or something. The tune-up typically costs $45 and you'll know the V1 is operating at peak performance when you get it back.
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    One of the best versions. Where did you buy it to get that one?

    Welcome to the V1 club. Many of us, me included, are ex Passport owners. The V1 will serve you well.

    813 FTW!

    I'd send it in for a tune and definitely get the color CD.

    Thanks for the love guys...lol

    Yeah i did buy it used. When they do a tune, do they leave the revsion # the same?

    Will range/performance be effected if I mount it 2-3 inches away from the windshield? (Windshield mount vs. Visor Clip)

    Just ask VR for a check up and they'll leave it at the same revision. And no, your range will not be effected. Just make sure it is eye level and has a clear view of the road front and back.
