I don't drive the 928 without a Valentine... It would be like unprotected sex.
But that new Passport with GPS sounds pretty interesting - if it had the arrows.

The only one worth having is a V1 - the rest are crap.

I've heard there is a new detector that is better than the V-1. I can't remember the site I saw the comparison at. Right now I'm not sure if I should even get one. I don't like things dangling in front of the windshield. I have seen a really great mod of the V-1 so that the wires run under the headliner next to the windsheild and along the dashboard. I'll try to get pics of it.

Why look for an alternative to the V-1 when it is far superior to anything else out there.
Two tickets pay for the thing and it really works very well.
Spend half the money and you will be dissatisfied IMHO

If you want a built in unit- Escort SR7
If you want Arrows- V1
If you want a great unit saving $200- Escort 8500 X50
If you want the detector to be Stealth- Bel STI
I went with the 8500 X50 and love it.

Even if there are detectors with better range, less false readings etc nothing can compare to knowing if there are multiple bogies and what direction the source is coming from. Until another company can offer all that AND better range, look no further than a V1.

My main concerns with the V1 are:
1. Instant On Radar. You've got to be lucky to pick-it up before it's too late...
2. LIDAR - Ther is literally no protection. If it goes off you're dead. I wish there was a jammer system that could be integrated in the fog light assembly (maybe in place of the rubber bumpers, or where the inside trim pieces are).
3. Being able to determine what band the boogie is - all LEDs have the same color and I have to take a closer look which costs unnecessary time. If I'd hit the brakes everytime an X-Band boogey is detected, I'd get whiplash... I want to know what I'm facing

my concern are the tests itself.
it is not just a big industry , with interest in their own product.
there is also another large group with the intention of falsifying proper
test results.
