i sent @Porsche0911 a message but it looks like he already sold that V2. Im looking for a V1 or V2 to purchase if anyone has any for sale or if anyone has a Uniden R7/R8 for sale would be interested in that as well. Thanks.

I have 3 V1s, have not used them in years. Don't see the point. Between Waze and paying attention I have not received a ticket in 10+ years. Frankly I'd rather pay the ticket than listen to the damn thing go off all the time which is why I stopped using them in the first place. Not interesting in screwing around with an app to block this or that, if the thing won't work on it's own I'll leave it at home.
As mentioned, the way the highway police traffic the most used highway (going to and from the mountains), they are rarely stationary traps.
Waze and paying attention won't help you in my part of the world.
The only thing that will help is a radar detector that has both front and rear capabilities.
As for a 'noisy' detector the V1G2 was so quiet my wife was convinced it was broken, but it was just better than the V1G1.
I still use my V1G1 with JBV1 and it is quiet except for when it is needed.
But my wife said I need to upgrade to the newer unit b/c it 'looks nicer and is quieter'.

Depending on how the speed limit is enforced, paying attention won't help sometimes.
