Might be time to move on.

Ok so Ive had my 995 for a while now .. nearly a year, but about a week ago it started giving tons and tons of laser falses, about 5-10 falses every 5 minutes or so. It keeps saying "Laser Alert ..beepbeepbeep. .. laser alert .. laser alert" over and over again, no matter where i go. Sooo im thinking the unit is broken =/

so my question is, is there somehwere i can send it to get it repalced, or trade it in + cash for a diff, upgrade ? Thanks.

You can send it to Beltronics for repair. If it hasn't been a year yet Bel should cover the repairs for free as long as you purchased it from an authorized dealer.

Also try to reset the RD and see if the problem goes away.

[ogliquidmetal]

How do you reset it ? Cuz i bought it on ebay lol.

As long as the serial number is fine they will still fix it, you will just have to pay the bench fee, it will not be covered under warranty. I think the fee is $85 or something like that.

[ogliquidmetal]

wwow, 85 ? would it be better to upgrade then ?

[languy99]

really there has not been anything released that has a major advantage over the 995. Only if you want extra features or if you want to move to a v1 or something but anything better involves a investment of $400-$500 to get a detector that is much better than the 995.

Better detectors then the 995 are (not including custom mount):

Sti - $500

9500i/ix - 450-500

gx65 - 470

v1 - 400

Hi ogliquidmetal,

Do you use the original coiled cord to power your V995, or have you installed a hardwire cord? If the latter, then check all of your connections including crimp connections and ground connections.

< Is still wondering where Mem-Tek's V1 is located? .

Of all people AlPiNe~ thinks Mem-Tek deserves a V1...

Since it wasn't mentioned, the Escort X50 is also a good rd to use. To reset the 995, while the unit is plugged in and turned on, unplug it. Then, holding the three buttons down on the top w/ one hand, plug in the unit w/ the other hand and you will see the revision # which is probably 4.5 and then it will go thru Alpine's favorite "long" start up.
