I wonder wether the shifters work. I am tempted to put one one these in my Cayanne.

Yes, the V1 works with lasers. There are also laser shifters that can be added to the V1, i.e., http://www.ebay.com/itm/Valentine-On...50842010784%26.
Any laser shifter, which is not a jammer like the Lidatek LE10, might give you may a few extra seconds to react, but ultimately the officer will get an accurate readout on your speed as you get closer. Slamming on the brakes at the last minute also tells the officer something and tactically that is what will happen given the few seconds available in a laser trap scenario.
These detectors are just tools. Tactics, such as adjusting speed, in areas favored for radar/laser traps works better than detectors. Police in various states have different tactics so it is important to adapt driving style to their tactics. Laser shifters may be a false sense of security vis-a-vis lack of calibration, proper installation, damage from someone bumping your vehicle while parallel parking, and so.

i have this system in my truck.
I got hit with a laser from behind in texas and it didnt help me. I didnt even get an alert much less a block.
The radar capabilities are very good though.
cheers

Yes, V1 detects radar and lidar, front and rear. I have had V1s in several cars over the years and have found the arrows and bogey counter indispensable in knowing when and how to adjust speed to minimize getting a ticket. And, a V1 has one box that is visible. Your system has five; two inside the car and three outside the car, all visible. And I can move the V1 to my other cars as needed with no wiring, holes or other hassles to deal with in my not-so-expensive 991C2S. But I agree, to each his own.

Right now i have the 9500 x hard wired into my 911, will probably put the c in at some point just because i like the stealth approach with nothing really visible,
cheers
