Get your software updated, and we can drive around together and see who gets better detection/less false alerts.

almost all my BMW customers have the valentine 1 that has to mean something besides they have alot of money.... it has the best reputation
but nothing will keep you from getting a ticket with the newest technology unless you run a jammer . the new instant on technology once your detector sees it the officer already has a reading of your speed... they are using it in my town now and there is no warning cus its only one once he has you in his sight and pulls the trigger.
with this system they like to use your front plate as a reflector but driving without it your lookin to get pulled over too.

Instant-on radar is not invincible. All you need is for them to shoot a few cars ahead of you and you will get a warning. If I see a couple of Ka spikes I know what's coming.

Less than 1 mile down the road, hiding under an overpass, there was ANOTHER CHP tagging traffic in my direction! But.... heh heh heh... I knew this ahead of time. My bogey counter said I had 2 radar sources, one behind me and one *still up ahead*.

Booya!

Valentine 1 for the win.
