Its about time to replace my old Bell radar detector. After researching the crap out of the v1 and passport posts, ive decided to go the V1 route. I know the v1 just came out with the new POP version, in you guys opinion, should i be waiting for anything new comming soon, a new version, or splurge and get the 1.8 w/POP now? Cuz i dont wanna spend the money to upgrade in a coupple months.

 

Get one NOW! I've had mine for several years, and I don't leave home without it. I plan on upgrading mine to POP.

 

Now is a great time to get a V1. With the new POP feature, I don't expect an upgrade for quite a while. My existing V1 is almost 9 years old already and I will be upgrading since it is so old in the next month. It will cost me $285 for the upgrade, which is actually a total replacement since mine is so old.

 

I would think that the "upgrades" are done for the near term as well. Just received my new V1 in the mail last week (with pop... flashes "P..o...P" on startup) and hardwired it over the weekend... going through relearning all the audio cues now after using a Whistler for ~7 years.
