[QUOTE="SnakeBit, post: 11478238, member: 2522"] I have had a V1 for years. No matter what anyone says, the arrows and counter are worth it. I'll never go back. For example, roll past a trooper shooting at you. Fine. Then right after you pass him, it goes off again. Is that the same unit you're detecting or another trooper a little farther down the road. Without the arrows you won't know for sure, but between the arrows and the counter, you'll know if it's the same one you just passed or another one up ahead working with him (it would light up with arrows ahead plus behind and the counter will say "2"). That being said, it's not perfect. Here in Georgia, troopers sometimes use instant on. I have seen troopers and slowed down BEFORE the V1 went off. And when they use LASER, it becomes a "ticket detector". And when you pass him by, it might take a few seconds for the arrow to switch from ahead to the sides to behind. The laser will light up if he shoots people beside you or even the guy ahead. But if you're alone, it will light up at the same time he tracks you. In that case, only a jammer will save you, maybe. In addition, adaptive cruise control on Lexus and Infinity will set off the laser detector. I have a high end Garmin GPS and it's remote will also set off the laser detection as well as red LED 3rd brake lights on GM plus others. I've also had red LED signs set it off, but only when pointed right at them and very close by (like pulling into a parking space). Still, the V1 is an excellent detector. I'd do it again. :pop: [/QUOTE]
