i live in cali and going to get my 05 G next month hopefully. wuts the cheapest yet most effective radar detector. not the one that beeps as you being shot with radar.

 

Escort 8500 X50 is one of the best in market you can get and worth for your money. Here is info that you should check it out and see which product is best for you:

I have the Valantine 1 and I don't think I would use any other after using this one. I love knowing in what direction the threat is so I don't have to slow down for just a arbritrary beep going off. The arrows once you know how to use them are invaluable.

A white coloured vehicle is the easiest target for a laser gun as the colour white reflects all colors including laser’s infrared light. The darker the vehicle the more difficult it is to target. A black car with no chrome (G35 do have a chrome grill at the front of the car), no front plate, and pop down headlights is virtually impossible to target with laser.

quotes from: http://www.speedzones.com/

now I know why we have chrome grill... I'm gonna paint the grill to BLACK!!!

while you're at it, "smoke" the headlights lightly.. probably won't hurt.

well, here in So Cal cops like to use Ka on the highways.

I have a valentine one and it picks up Ka on the freeways very well. But remember, no radar detector is a COP detector. But from my experience, my V1 has been good to me.

I installed the V1 small display thing in my ash tray, perfect spot.

Are you able to close the ash tray door?

Uh, I have no front plate and I've been hit with laser twice. Luckily I was going slow enough.

To answer the original question, do NOT think "cheapest". No matter how much you spend, it WILL pay for itself eventually.

big debate is v1 or passport. i have v1 and it has saved me numerous times. bought in on cousins recommendation. if he said get passport, i would have.

04 6mtC, DG - possibly most babied G on the board.

 

guys with V1, do u guys always have it plugged in to the cig. lighter or is it hardwired?
what's recommended if i'm gonna have it plugged in all the time.
will there be any problems if i keep it in the cig. lighter?
