i am thinking of picking up a radar detector in the spring...

i have never bought one before and was wondering what everyone here uses>?

 

Valentine One. Don't waste your money on anything less. I am glad I bought one because I have found it to be a great investment. I would have gotten a lot of tickets and higher insurance premiums without it over the last 3 years.

 

Valentine one with Blinder. Dont waste your money on any thing besides this ive had a few detectors this by far pwns all the pasports. PM me if you want a blinder. The blinder has saved me 7 times. Radar is not what you need to worry about in BC its Laser. x25 ftw. The new one just came out.

 

ooo i want one.. that'll be good.

 

I just use a BEL V940 'cuz they had it at Costco for a reasonable price. I was going to get the Passport 8500 (non-X50) b/c Escort is selling refurbished ones on ebay for a good price. The Valentine one is definitely a good unit, as is the 9500ix, which has GPS capabilities!

Mike, the blinders are for laser? What do they run? How do they work?

 

another vote for V1

I've used for many years and it has been great


vtec mike/ PM sent about blinder

 

i still use a Beltronics V something. all i know i has a green dot on it. ill upgrade to a V1 soon tho.

 

PM's replied.

 

agree. Don't have a V1 yet but i've been in s2000_mikes car many times and we often see how far ahead we pick up the readings and also after we pass the source, how far we maintain them...sometimes its ridiculous that you could slow down and light up a smoke by the time you find the source.
Also agree with blinders...even if it saves you once, it's essentially paid for itself.

 

mike, pm me some details regarding where to get valentine one.
