Hello everyone,
long time looker decided to join cause ive confused myself. So i basically jumped the gun and ordered a qi45, witch after reading some threads on this site i canceled that ordered.
So now idk what i want or need. Money is also a factor. My max im looking so spend is around 800, maybe more if its really worth it.
I was using a bel v994 for the last few years and it finally died. So i was wanting an installed unit with the option of added blockers later. But i dont think itll be worth paying for the cheaper 8500ci and added the jammer kit(which ive learned is crap) After paying for the 8500ci and adding $250 for the jammers. Thatd be around 850.
Now to the point where i need help.
After doing some reading, what im understanding now is that i can get better performance out of a V1 and added a M27, is this true? Also im leaning towards staying away from the installed units for now cause i cant afford a good one it at this time. But i found the sti-r on amazon for decent price of $900 which is temping. I drive alot, highway 70 miles a day and take trips to virginia often so i stealth unit is worth it to me. But i end up spending 1300+ on the detector and the m27 kit, if im going to spend that much isnt there other options once you get in that price range. At this point im lost and looking for other opinions from other members who now alot more them me about this stuff. I dont minding have a windshield unit, or doing the install and wiring work so throw everything at me.
Thanks for people who understand my jigger jagger and this mess of a paragraph.
