Valentine 1 Gen 2 - Who is getting one

[mrblah]

Im more likely to get pulled over for going 15 mph under the speed limit in the 4Runner than over it. I don’t think I’ll be needing a radar detector anytime soon.

Day late and a dollar short as Mom used to say.

Of course the V1G2 is a big step up from the V1G1 but it still lags the competition for its lack of GPS.

The "Radenso Theia" is supposed to be the shit in detectors when it comes out later this year.

When I drove a PCAR I had one (V1; R3 ); now I drive a T4R, I see no need as it can't get out of it's own way and I could be happier.

As a brief aside, it would be pretty awesome if there was a way to integrate some of the apps associated with the detectors into the infotainment system or the gauge cluster display. I remember that people used to use the remote displays for some clever V1 installs.

Anyone in the market for a V1G2, hit them up today - (800) 331-3030. They have some Christmas returns available at 10% off. The ONLY time you'll ever see them at a discount - they don't even offer free shipping for Black Friday so if you're in the market now is the time.

Any of you with experience with detectors, have you had any success evading "Laser"?

The Valentine one senses lasers. It senses all frequencies that are legal for the police to use.

Those are the ones you worry about. But if they are actively flicking the switch at times, you tend to pick up the signals bouncing that were aimed at cars ahead.

If the area is totally deserted and you get a trigger jockey like that, you are likely just screwed if you are speeding.

Quality radar detector + running Waze app on phone is the best equation at always being aware of LE in the area. The crowd sourcing on Waze has saved me a couple times when LE was using the trigger jockey method.

I agree. And I drive a LOT of miles.

No speeding tickets in 26 years. Or stop sign tickets either. They are helpful for those too.
