I dunno what you're talking about, it's been like this the whole time... :rolleyes:

This might be a very retarded question but will the V1 work in Canadia?

the best thing about my Valentine1 is that it picks up almost everything.

best thing about my V1's are that they are a conversation piece.

I have a few Ladar sites on the way to work. My 9500ci has been working like a champ. I believe that the warning tone only goes until the cop takes his finger off the trigger with a recorded speed. In my area, the warning tone goes for 10 seconds usually meaning the popos are having a hard time reading my speed. In fact, I usually have turned off the 9500 BEFORE they are done lazing.

I was going to get some VEIL for the front plate, but I don't think I need it based on these results.

9500ci. Good stuff.

I have the 9500ci as well, and it works wonders...

Except for the rear laser sensor. That thing goes off ALL THE TIME now. :ugh2:

Especially in rain/at night. I get the water refraction can potentially make light enter it at just the right frequency, but come on. I had an hour drive yesterday and I'm sure that thing went off 50+ times. :shakes head:


It's not a defective product by any means because when it works, it's awesome. But I'm trying to figure out if my rear sensor has gone bad some how? :ugh2:

Laser guided cruise control in cars is becoming more common and this will trigger the alarm. Some lane departure warning systems and parking sensors use laser too. Standing water on the road would reflect these systems further towards your car I have no doubt. Mine has never gone off that many times though, maybe 3-4 times in one drive was the max. Something else may be going on with yours.

10 seconds and a LEO will KNOW you are messing with him/her.

I try to kill the jammer in 3 seconds or less. I have used most of the LIDAR guns out there and it's not that uncommon to have some cars take a few seconds for a reading. 10 seconds never happens unless the car is running countermeasures.

It's best to draw no extra attention.

Stealth is your friend.

ive had this happen with my 8500 x50. mostly when raining as you said, but once i became aware of the use of lasers for cruise control etc. as edconline mentioned, i did notice it was mostly happening when i was driving near newer luxury cars and SUVs. so I suspect that is the culprit.

Occasionally I get a rear detector false alert but not frequently. I guess laser cruise control is not used much up in the mountains.

If you get pulled over by a cop and he wants to inspect your car for LADAR equipment tell him no lock your car door do not open your window more than a sliver and tell him "I do not consent to any searches of my property".
Do not allow him to enter your car. It is illegal for any citizen to rifle through your car/stuff (police included) without a court order (search warrant)

Our constitution protects us from this kind of abuse and it is every citizens responsibility to uphold the constitution.

They don't have your speed, they don't have any legal right to search your car, and our constitution protects you from having to tell them what you have equipped on your vehicle.

Having said all that DO turn off your equipment quickly to avoid hassles.

Are most of you running this equipment where it isn't allowed or something? For all I care ill let it jam all day. If I got pulled over and he said I couldn't get your speed or it was delayed, I'd reply 'ya, that's cause I have a ZR4 laser shifter, good to know it's working... Even though I wasn't speeding ;)'

It's all totally legal to have and use here.

I think its more of the issue that the cop will then pull you over to be a **** and ticket you for everything possible. Mind you if your car is stock (no tint ect) then you're probably good to go. haha.

In my car every window is tinted on it (even the front) so the less I stick out the better.

Wouldn't dream of it!

Yeah, I hate those things. But it's not any one particular car that I was next to. I just wish I could turn the laser off the same way I can run with X band off.

:iagree: I don't even run with the jammers on because of the potential time it takes to turn it off. There's no "on/off" switch. You gotta go into the settings and push a bunch of buttons. I just have them set to passive detection.


Must be nice up there north of the border... :rolleyes:
