996TTDave thats not true about instant on. Its very legal. All instant on is .. is a pause button. Send out radar beam then press pause to stop it blast the first car and then pause. Completely legal.

I think you might be refering to POP. The stalkers that i use to use had no option of switching to Ka anyways because, i believe they operate only on Ka. They didn't have POP either. A few years ago now.

As far as lidar (laser) yes it has to be stationary but when i was trained on laser it wasn't any quicker to lock on then radar ... even when an experienced instructor was on the laser gun. I figured they were just designed to beat radar detectors.

 

While I have no idea how well it may or may not work, the video is suspect because of some missing evidence. First off, did they confirm it was hooked up right. A non-functioning unit would work the same way.

Second, does the device not have a detector to go with it? Or is it entirely just a jamming device? (jammer w/o detector seems stupid since any jammer would only buy you some time) No indication of the test approach vehicle picking up the laser and when.

Just some thoughts on their experiment.

 

What are 3M connectors? Can you supply a pic or reference?

TIA

 

Google "3M connectors"

 

V1

Nuff said.

 

I'm sure this term refers to a specific connector, right? Which one?

3M makes a TON of connectors, so that doesn't really help:

V1, Blinders, and G4......

 

High end auto electronics shops usually use the 3M Scotchlok connectors - not sure how an auto electronics shop would use any of the other items you listed when installing a radar detector.

 

I personally know 60 cars using V1 and NEVER heard any problems ! I personally had 3 V1 (1 for each car) and had them for 3-4 years. No problem at all.

 

the biggest complaint was that it was going off and nothing was there, and then getting hit by laser and no warnings. 2 got tickets.

And I do want to correct my statement, I had 2 issues of late with K-40, one in a Bentley GTC that had poor range, and the other in a C63 that dropped the front Radar receiver.

Is any one of these the best, V!, Bell, K40 ? no, but I do prefer K40. I am looking at doing some design stuff to make the K40 a better unit, because K40 doesn't listen to anyone. there is one huge flaw, and that is if it doesn't communicate with one of the receivers then you don't know about it.... driving blind.

 

Been very pleased with V1 with remote display. That said, I am still awaiting for Valentine Research to upgrade and improve this detector that has been on the market for many years without any significant changes.

 

With a properly designed and executed speed check by the law, if you are the lone car going down the road, and you are speeding, you are hosed, no matter what detector you have.

With a good detector, if the law has a sloppy setup (say the speed gun is on all the time) a detector can help you.

My primary need is for it to be completely invisible except for some select, small display, and for it to work when I'm in a traffic flow with others, all traveling similar speeds. I just don't want to be the one car picked out to make an example, so having a warning that the cars in front just got illuminated, allowing me to take my foot off of the accelerator, would be my goal.

 

Hi JBONDOx,
Personally I have very good experiences with V1, especially upgrade to Euro mode. Many of my friends use Blinder laser jammers, very effective. I tried Escort Laser Shifter, didn't work at all.

I got a quotation for $4630 + shipping. Could this be right ?

 

Sorry I post this on the wrong thread
