Valentine One VS Escort Passport 9500ix

JZNx · 04-17-2015, 12:27 PM

Is V1 still the best cop radar out there? I remember it was almost coke vs pepsi topic but now it seems like Escort is almost better than V1... Please correct me if I am wrong, been almost 2 years since I last own a cop radar...

When I used to own V1, I used to have it setup so that it is connected directly through the fuse box instead of that ugly cigarette plug... That is why I am leaning more toward V1... but please let me know if 9500ix is much better choice than V1... In the end, I care more about performance...

Any advice would be helpful...

Thanks guys!

<10 Mph over the limit is better than any Radar detector.

I am checking... It was like coke and pepsi if i remember correctly as in both are good but it all depends on the preference of the user.

I guess I should also ask, has there been a new model that made v1 or 9500ix look bad?

no matter coke, pepsi, valentine no valentine, escort ( male or female depends what you prefer) you can never trick a pig.

V1 and 9500ix take the same cord. I prefer the 9500ix as it has the speed camera/red light camera warnings. I've had three v1 and they all seem to go out of tune after a year or so and start false alerting a lot. 9500ix has a self tune and with the GPS has a ton less false alerts from the start. With the majority of police going to laser, radars detectors are a dying technology and a lot of people are going to Waze.

I was thinking the similar in terms of technology... That being said, V1 probably is a bad idea...

Do you send yours in every year to get it re-calibrated?

no, why?

mine has barely any false alarms besides the recent newer cars with rear radar or something making my detectors (not just v1) go off all the time. those i would probably need a firmware update. cars like some audi's seems to trigger my issue.

9500ix, redline or Max 2
