[Official] What's the Best Radar Detector?
 

im in the market for a radar detector. with so much company out there its hard to choose one. can you guys tell me which u guys prefer or think is the best. i need one that can detect regular radar and also a lydar(which is a laser radar).

V1

V1 combined with a Blinder.

V1 100% You can get free software update for as long as you own it! That to me was key, never have an outdated radar detector. Just pay shipping.

No radar is going to save you from laser. Once it detects it, it's too late. You need jamming or other diffusing method to try and defeat laser.

V1, you already kno!

Not 100% true actually, and I have done test to prove this.
A local area I drive through uses K and laser only, K because people ignore it and laser because they can instantly pick you up. With laser, you can beat the laser if you are not first in line, you will get a very small and short burst on the V1 from a reflection from the car in front and will give you a chance to slow down if you are lucky.

This is why it pays not to be first in the line or last.

I will also say Escort. Really both are the best out there Valentine and Escort. The only difference is that Valentine has arrows that tell you where the signal is coming.

I'm a big V1 fan. It takes a little practice to get used to reading your V1 (how to interpret the patterns of beeps and signal strength and arrows in various situations), but once you do you become a lot more situationally aware about radar.

V1 user for years.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Passport 9500ix. The detector has outperformed the V1 in several comparisons and its GPS capabilities are excellent. I have had a V1 and replaced it with a 9500ix. It is expensive but worth the investment.

Valentine V1 is the best!

The guy that invented the Valentine worked for many years for Escort Radar Detectors.
