    Damn I planned on turning x band off just for false alerts reasons but I live in Rochester Monroe county and X band was on that listing..o well will just have to put up with more false alerts.
    I didnt get the con display not yet anyway..is it really worth it?

    Yes, it's worth it...especially if you mount the main unit above the RVM. My CD is directly in front of me, in the instrument cluster, so it's just a quick glance down to see the threat indication.

    Mine came in today too. Need to go to FedEx to pick it up cant wait to drive around with it.

    I ordered the works:

    Case
    Remote screen
    I want to install it right.

    I will be removing the cheap metallic based tint on my rear window and upgrading to ceramic.

    If I am correct this should allow max transmission of signals from behind me into the rear facing antenna?

    Well got My V1 HOOKED up today , right above my rear view mirror sweet spot cant ever see the detector from the outside looking in. I really need to hard wire it soon though because the huge dangling power cord is the only thing that gives its location away. My biggest fear is it to be stolen so I take it off and with me every time I get out of the car which is annoying but worth it !!!
    The problem is I heard that they use x band still in my area so Just on my 5 ride in to work this morning I had 4 to 5 false alerts...but better believe that it saved me on ka band to work and once again on my way home , The V1 HAS AMAZING RANGE FRONT AS WELL AS REAR!!! Before I purchased the V1 I read alot of reviews and people were saying the arrows the arrows are amazing and they are a huge selling point...Well let me tell you WOW! I find my self looking at the arrows non stop and gives me a place to look and a more secure piece of mind of where to look towards..its Day 2 already and Im very impressed with my purchase.
