Default What's your fuzz buster??

So i have kicked around getting one, but as a rule im a very good driver, never been pulled over or been in an accident. i think it would be a nice edition to the car for when i go on my tips to see family, or at night when im headed to the girls house after work. I want to hear some opinions and some recomindations.

I used to have Valentine 1. If you want the best for some serious distance and speed, that's what you want. If you want just a good one without spending over $400, just get a Cobra 14 or more band and you'll be good.

me too lol

Has anyone upgraded to V1.85 on the V1? Is it worth it? Not to hijack this thread but just to add a comment....

Our V1.85 Upgrade* for this series of V1 will produce the following benefits:

Traffic Monitor Filter eliminates false alarms caused by SpeedInfo, a traffic-flow monitoring system that sends frequent K-band radar bursts into the traffic stream. For more information, click here. This software algorithm is installed at the factory but not activated.

Extended Serial Protocol (ESP) enhances two-way communication with SAVVY and future peripheral devices.

*One-year limited warranty starting at upgrade date, same as new units.

-- Upgrade to V1.85: As soon as we receive your old unit (in operable condition with no tampering of the serial number) we'll replace two circuit boards and install revised firmware, then return it to you in the shortest possible time with a new serial number to indicate its revised capability.
PRICE: $199 plus shipping
