    I have checked many threads and could not find anything like this really. This is my first thread so I would start with something small.

    What radar detector do you have in your ferrari?

    I have a V1 in my 612 Scaglietti in CA. Pictures would be great!

    Cheers.

    Have both a V1 and a Passport SRX installed system. The V1 is in the 308 and the SRX is in my Jaguar XJR. Nice thing about the SRX is its 'inconspicuousness' particularly when driving through states where fuzzbusters are frowned upon. Additionally, it pretty effectively jams laser, giving you a little more time to slow your roll before 'punch through' occurs.

    I do understand though, that Lidatek makes a better jammer. A friend has one in his VW Phaeton and loves it.

    Cheers,

    Valentine One hardwired in my S4. Sits just above the rearview mirror. Wouldn't use anything else, ever.

    Out of curiosity, why do you have the X and K bands off?

    Some states (NJ, for instance) use X band while others (PA) do not. Heck, I don't even worry about radar in PA since it's never used (heavily reliant on VASCAR). I have the V1 for when I'm driving to meetings out of state and wouldn't trade it for anything :p

    V1 in every car, after many K-40 stealth installs, including rear view mirror displays. I also give the V1 as a gift during the holidays, sleep with one under my pillow, and keep it near me when I brush my teeth. You can never be 'too safe.' It is also good to carry one in your pocket if you are going into strange neighborhoods, and, in my many years of experience, I have, NOT ONCE, been abducted by aliens. I attribute this to the Valentine. Even Churchill knew which one to use:

    V1, definately the best. Ironically I only run the V1 in my M3 daily driver. I've got a cordless Escort Solo for the 550. I should really call it the Escort "worthless" Solo. The 550 cigarette lighter doesnt work well enough for the V1, and I've been too busy/lazy to hardwire it.
