Hi,
I am very new to this forum although I have been reading it for years :). My V1 got stolen recently and I am thinking of getting the STI - r .Where is the best place to get it 1) cheap 2) with warranty!
Thanks

I think the only place I can legally recommend is radarbusters. (rules FTW)
Well radarbusters does not sell that model. Hmmm...
ok, I just read the rules. From what I read, its seems OK to tell me where without posting a direct link. :confused:
Thanks anyway.
I dont see it on the radar busters site. I dont think they sell it anymore.
It's discontinued, so you just have to catch as catch can.
STi-R is discontinued and there are no authorized sellers that have STi-R's so I suggest you complain to escort about removing the best possible radar detector from their shelves
Just have to search around on the internet and see who still has them.
If you can't find he STi-R I'm sure RB will have the new QI-45 if you want a remote mount. Not quite the same as a STi-R but probably the best in that price range for remote mount.
Funny, I read everywhere that the STI-r is a better performer than V1. However, the latest test for GOL shows otherwise.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Given the shortcomings of the STi-R in regards to I/O performance, I would say that, even in the best case scenario, the extra range offered by the STi-R over the V1 compensates enough to call it a better performer.
I see no difference in range on my STi-R and my V1. If I had to pick between one or the other the V1 would stay.
the only reason im going for the STi - r is the concealed install. My V1 got stolen and I was SUPER happy with it. I do not want to have to mount/unmount my radar everywhere I park!
I would get the 9500ci if did not come with the lazer shifters (heard they are not so great)
Depends on what you are trying to protect with them, the 9500ci rocks as a detector though. If I had to choose between my 9500ci and my V1 the V1 would probably lose that one.Quote:

Not yet, but in this game it's inevitable. All countermeasures do is give you a chance, the odds are still against you.Quote:

A quick google search popped up quite a few stores that are selling the STi-R.
While we can't recommend places to buy, I do kind of wish we could tell you places that you definitely should NOT buy from! There are several of those!
There are plenty out there from authorized dealers for under 600. It gets sweeter when you get 10% off as well. I just bought one for my brother.
