In "the old days" of owning a radar detector, 10+ years ago, if you approached another car that also had a detector you would often get a false signal.

When mine goes off I hit the brakes, as long as I get a signal I keep it at a reasonable speed. When I have no more beeps I speed up if appropriate.

I think having arrows would be nice but that was not imperative to me when I purchased, especially with the type of driving I do most of the time around here. I like the fact I can upgrade the programming on mine w/o buying a new unit. I have not actually tried that yet though

 

You better hope he isnt running instant on!!!


the V1 can be upgraded just the same. I have sent units in before and gotten them back in 3 days round trip. I sent a unit in once that I purchased used off of craigslist and asked for a tune up and upgrade. They did it for free and shipped it back next day air for free as well. I had never even purchased a thing from them before that. I was sold on thier customer service from that point on and will never buy another detector unless they change something drastically.

 

With the 9500ci being remote mounted they will not interfere. 2 dash mounts WILL interfere though, yes.

 

I have been in many cars equipped with the V1. Great detector no doubt

 

I do agree that they need to update the looks or something to keep people interested since most people buy for bling as much as capability. But, I think that goes against what they try to do for some reason.

 

People buy a detector for looks? That I just don't understand. I have a hammer, it does a specific job... I don't care what it looks like. Same with a radar detector...?

 

They need to ditch the square shape. If that thing goes flying in an accident it's going to slice your head open!

 

 

 

ok ok I know i'll catch a ton of crap for the following statements

ellen,
would you be so kind as to check your gender for me?
that statement made way to much sense.
