Radar Detector Recommendations

Kamillio

I have to agree with Zipper104, even though I have not tried the V1 in any form I have been doing some of my own testing with 9500ix and escort max 2. While they are great, they don't show the direction, which helps a lot.

Question to Zipper 104, does the android phone paired with V1 need to be connected to a phone Internet network or does it just use the software on the phone and gps?

The Android phone connects to the V1 by Bluetooth using a dongle from V1. No cell service required. YaV1 uses the phone's GPS. You can get YaV1 from Google Play.
The Invisicord I have has a pass through. The cord is double-ended on one end (if that makes sense) with two RJ plugs. One goes into the dongle linking it to the V1, the other to power the V1. The opposite end of the cord has two pins that pull power from the Z's self-dimming mirror. With the Blendmount and the Invisicord everything is up at the mirror. I have the dongle attached to the V1 using double-sided tape so I just plug the two RJ plugs in right next to each other; one into the V1, the other into the dongle.
The LG phone I run the YaV1 app on is a simple, inexpensive prepaid Boost Mobile phone that I unlocked so every time it's fired up it bypasses the annoying activation screen. YaV1 is Android only, so I can't run it on my IPod or IPhone.
An LG Realm costs well under $100, but I believe it is now discontinued. There are a bunch of other inexpensive phones that people are using. All you need to know can be found on the site I linked to. I am no expert. I got everything from that site. I recall a member here put me onto it. Edconline?
