Details? Mine saved me a good one from a Charger over a hill running a Stalker the first few days I had it.

The V1 is a great radar detector don't get me wrong. Its just a waste of money for me because I never do more than 10 over and I rarely see police running radar in my area.

I had radar in my car from 1982-2006 starting with the original passport. I had a V1 from 1996-2006. Two things made me sell it. The first is the same as above. My driving habits changed and I just found I very rarely dove more than 8-10 over and if I stick to that rule I can go right through obvious traps and the police just don't care.
The second reason I sold my V1 was the constant false alarms. I got to where I would just ignore the damn thing and ride right through traps. But since I was only doing 8 over - the cops ignored me.
I didn't get a speeding ticket in my Talon TSI, Volvo C70, BMW 540, Z4 3.0is, or TL 6MT. Then I put a Stillen supercharger in my 2013Z and the damn thing is just so much damn fun I got two tickets in 3 weeks.

So I decided to get a new detector. I went with the Escort 9500ix because of its autolearn ability to simply ignore stationary radar - so fewer false alarms.
It works, I like it, I feel protected. I will probably keep it until 395whp seems old hat.
