What's Arfcom's favorite radar detector this week?
I know that Valentine One has been the reigning champion for a while now, but are there any new contenders? Also, any mounting kits or mounting tricks you could pass on would be appreciated. |

And buddy and I both have escort passport 9500's and have never had a problem. I haven't been pulled over since I've had it either.

I recently switched to a V1, running a dedicated Droid and the YaV1 App, it's awesome! I'm using a visor pouch, keeps it hidden from LE and thieves.
Oh yeah, RDs don't work |
|
Escort Solo S2...
Has been working like a charm for many a year in New Jersey. Saved and contnues to save me boo koo $$$. RW3 |

Bell Pro 500. Excellent Ka band sensitivity, GPS for marking speed traps, and you can update the unit on line.

I tried the Passport Max but returned it. I liked the false reduction, especially when taking the same route to work. But range didn't seem too impressive and the build quality of the mount and case was unacceptable for $549 imo. Ended up with the V1 - love the simplicity of controls, directional arrows, and range seems better. The case & mount are solid. Downsides - almost unusable in town, and I get a lot of K-band falses from semis (screw you Fed Ex).

Also allows you to disable K-POP which will almost completely eliminate falses from vehicles. |

Laser detector is very good. Can pick up K and KA band that is pointed at you from as much as 1.5 mi out depending on topography. Even learned it could detect red light cameras when I drove through Chicago. |

I just stay at or below 5 over the limit and don't bother with the detector.

Beltronics 940. Been flawless. Works very well at long distance. Few years back was rated best one under 200. I believe they're made by escort.

My 9500Ix has been absolutely tits.
Had it hard mounted in my BMW on a homemade bracket, and when I sold it, I transferred to my FJ. Still a great purchase. The GPS function to remember fixed stations and signs, doors etc. is great. |

I have a Valentine one with this mount: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MirrorMount-Valentine-One-Radar-Detector-Mirror-Mount-Bracket-V1-/191083085594
It's been great. Except last month I was pulled over for speeding after being spotted by aircraft |
|
I run waze on my iPhone. I know where to speed trap is 15 miles before I get to it.

Escort 9500ix, love the gps. Only time it makes a peep is when there is a tax collector or collecting device.

Waze only seems to work in the bigger cities. No one uses it around here. |

2013 Toyota Land Cruiser
Escort 9500ci with Escort Live for iPhone. Pulled it out of my old truck 2009 GMC Sierra Denali and added Escort Live for iPhone. No tickets in 5 years. |

I've always heard there was one where the company would pay your ticket if you got pulled for speeding while using it. True or false? Seems like BS.
