Valentine is by far the best radar available.It has won every year in the radar tests in Car and Driver by far that I know. I had many others and this saved me many times. The mutible bogey count is great money well spent even better for free. Good luck don't get caught they still don't protect against instant radar but it is as good as it gets.

I have a V1 and I have it hardwired into my SS and out of all of the other radar detectors that I have used this is by far the best. I like the fact that it tells you which direction the signal is coming from. It has saved my *** several times without question. A good gift in my opinion. Enjoy it.

I have an older one......had it since 1997. And I love it. Mine is hardwired in as well. I ran a wire from acc under the column out to the Valentine box. From there it is the normal phone line to the unit. The little part of the wire that shows is loomed and heatshrunk on the ends.
