    Everyone that has bought a returned unit has said its good as new! I would have no problem getting a returned unit--they ops check it on the bench before it ever goes back out and if anything is scratched they would replace it 8)

    I have just got a V1 from US it arrived on Monday 27th Feb I can tell you it is absolutly brand new to look at. Not a mark or a scratch everything in correct bag. Very impressed. I have got it to use in other car I can now run some comparisons with my Rx65. So far my V1 has been past 3 Lti lytes and 2 multanovas has detected all. I see no problem in the refurbs at all would buy again without hesitation. Screen displays software version 3.826.

    wouldn't that be something if the ones returned in 30 days got recycled into the brand new ones :shock:

    I sent my 1.8 for an update last week. The paint on the case is showing wear and tear especially on the corners. When I got it back, the case looked newer than what I sent in. No more paint chips on the corners. No paint chip on the grooves where the suction cup and visor mount goes. The case has a different serial number and label, but it has very, very light scratches. I wonder if VR used a magnesium case from returned units to replace my old one.
