New detector every few years for $400+ because new technology comes out, or a $190 upgrade with a V1 to get the same thing?

I've heard of Ford as the Blue Oval... But what's the blue square (with a question mark in it)?

Not following you here...

I think he's saying that with the V1 you can simply update the unit every few years. Other brand detectors go obsolete after a certain amount of time.

Ok, bottom line...radar detectors are ONLY useful when the officer has his/her radar gun set to the "on" position, so whether the detector was $80 or $500 it wouldn't work. Now, the Valentine 1 is the best of the best, but again..it won't help you if the cop is only turning the radar gun on to pop you, it will just let you know that you're about to get pulled over and to put that beer in the back! haha. The V1 is worth it though!

There was a retired police officer that actually tested all the radar "jammers" that were available at the time (I think about 4 years ago) and none of them actually worked. I can't be sure about the new technology, but from what that guy said.. none of them were worth it.

For all I know, my ****** 9500ix detector has saved me from at least 10 tickets that I can remember over the course of almost 2 years.
Ranging from knowing an officer is ahead so I can roll down my illegally tinted windows, to speed traps, and red light cameras.
The detector cost me only $500.
Just one speeding ticket, plus consequent insurance rate increase due to my age and that ticket will definitely be more than $500.
Just that one save makes the detector completely worth it to me, so those that have never had it can keep on talking!

On the contrary, a jammer is completely illegal in the US.
A laser shifter is not illegal, but it is not worth it to me because a good one is approximately $1000 and all that device is gonna do is attract traffic officers to my car and piss them off.
Leading to unnecessary searches and harassment.

My V1 has saved me from at least 100 tickets since I started driving. Can't put a price on still having a drivers license.

Also on radar jammers... I think that active jammers are illegal, but passive ones are not. Meaning ones that are constantly jamming signals are active, and passive only turn on when it detects a radar gun.
