V1 hardwire and 8500

[DogGod]

I am getting paid this and next week, so I am giving into my addiction and I am going to buy an 8500 non x50. My friends smart cord from his X50 works with my V1 but I cant mute the V1. I have my V1 hardwired and the remote display is hooked into that, I am wondering if I can use this set up for the 8500 or will having the remote display in the mix mess things up?

[Switchback]

are you asking if a valentine remote display will work with an escort product?

if so, the answer is NO!!!

[DogGod]

No Im asking if having the remote display hooked up will keep me from using the V1 hardwire kit. It would be cool though.

[againstme!]

i used my 8500 with my V1 hardwire with remote display. no problems.

where did you find the 8500, i'm currently searching for one? ebay? :?

[DogGod]

I guess I havnt found it yet, but I was thinking ebay. Unless someone here wants to sell me one.

The only thing the X50 has different is POP and a possible blue display... the original 8500 is a great detector!

I have done my research, and I know what I want. If I wanted another $300 RD I would go to BBY and get an X50. I want it for a backup, and to see if I like the Escort layout.

you shouldnt have a prob with the V1 hardwire. actually, i just bought a reg 8500 off ebay! :D its on its way right now. got a darn good deal on it. it only came with the 8500 and mounting bracket, which is all i need cuz im gunna use my invisicord to power it. not sure if i can post the price here or not, but i got it for $133.00. the guy only used it twice :shock: . so keep searching yall, youll find one 8) .

A-Town posting. :shock:

I must say though, if you can get a good 8500 (like A-Town seems to have), it really is a bargain, they are pretty much right on par with the Top 3/4.. and can be had not for a fraction of the cost... hope you find a good one DogGod
