who has what and what do you like /dislike about your detector. I need something that is reliable, detectes everything possible, and has a loud/highly visible warning ( I like to listen to my music a little loud )

also what price should I expect to pay.

thanks
they had that same trap out again today at 430 pm

does anyone have the hook up for the Escort 8500x50 at best buy? the valentine looks good but every review except their own says the pop detection is non existent.

I like the unit with the blue display so if anyone can help me out pm me. thanks

if you're not going to buy a V1, then go buy a Bel995 or 965....for the price you absolutely can't go wrong, and it dominates on the interstate...I've picked up cops from 2 miles away on I-75 with my Bel995.

and whoever said Cobra is out of their fucking minds, biggest peice of shit to ever hit the radar detector world.

arrows and bogey counter > leds on cord



forgot to mention, V1 just made an update for pop-radar.
