My V1 will pick up other drives with Cobra RD because those things are notorious for leaking radar.

My friend bought one just to have somthing, and i told him your going to get what you pay for. And that thing wont pay for a ticket.

Any thoughts on this and the best way to install? i do not want wires running to cigarette light socket. I want clean and permanent. I see some people are wiring into the rear view mirror.

any other detector recomendations are welcome if you don't like that one but please keep it to best buy items. Gift card to burn remember.
buy something from bestbuy with your gift card... sell it on here or ebay.... then use that money to buy a valentine 1

Little off-topic, but my dad just got a ticket yesterday in his 350Z for 73 in a 55, Valentine 1 on and everything. It turns out that he actually just passed the cop in the passing lane and didn't even notice him. I LMAOd when he told me this.
