Bought mine used from a friend with extra accessories for $349. This thing picks up everything, maybe too much. Tracks where the signal is coming from (sides, front, behind). Tells you the signals strength. It has saved me many times a paid for itself. The firmware can be updated for a small cost. Definitely the total package and total protection in radar for your car. You bought the best with your car. Protect it with the best.

None once you get used to the false signals

It takes a little getting used too and though it has been mentioned before I feel it is only right to at least suggest reading the owners manual. I have had a few different RD's over the years and most of them work pretty good. What seperates the V1 from all the rest is its precision and range. It has never let me down. Though I am new at owning a vette I transfer this from my Inf G-35 and Nissan 350Z for the last couple of years.When I bought the vette it got put in and will take up permanent residence. So far it has clued me in on the exact location of a IO Laser and 2 Ka Bands while cruising up to the
N. Ga. Mountains on Hwy 515. Even when in a pack of speeding cars who do you think the cops lick their chops in pulling over?? Like said by a fellow member before...NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT...It's worth the bucks.

Useful arrows and counts. Long range.
|
|
Cons:
|
small suction cup - not staying on windshield
|
|
got spoiled by V1 since 95. It became smaller a few years ago, but the performance is only getting better. Sometimes I feel like it's picking up too many false signals, but the long range of coverage is always appreicated. The only complaint I have about V1 is about the small suction cup. - it falls on the dash board sometimes espeically when it's cold. Other than that, I'm very happy with my 3rd V1 purchase. It may be pricy, comparing to cheaper ones sold at walmart and radio shack, but you get what you paid for.
