    Too funny. After my wife found out how much I paid for my CI+install I had to buy her a hand bag made by some Italian guy named Louis...N/J!!!

    That's pretty funny.. Well maybe not on your part. lol


    I wish it were only a purse in my case. LOL

    With my luck my wife would go out and buy a sports car she's been wanting. I'm trying to lay low for a while. Especially after buying the Redline. She knew it was a new RD,but didn't know how much it cost. I guess I kind of over did it a little by buying 4 RD's pretty close together.

    Yes, you didn't read the explanation of the test procedure. The signal is attenuated at the gun so that they don't have to find a ten mile stretch of highway that has no traffic on it to run their tests on.

    A CI would be twice as useless to you as an IX, and at nearly four times the price. A Redline would be just as useless to you as an IX at $100 dollars more. I honestly can't understand why you are hung up on either one of those models. The Redline has the exact same horrible weakness that all Escort detectors share on Instant On radar. That will get you very quickly pwn3d in Texas.

    That or Craigslist.

    You could always take it back to BB and see what they say. Then you could put it on ebay, or craigslist if they want to charge a re-stocking fee. Who knows you might get lucky and you get your full refund back.

    How about you just buy a new V1 straight from VR without running the risk of buying crap on eBay?

    I think he's referring to selling his 9500ix on Ebay.
