This is a rather simple solution and I used to run the V1 in all my cars previously. They came out with a new one finally
Any comments or people with experience with it appreciated Is it affective? Etc. This is not for a BMW so gesture control won't be an issue for my purposes

Much better than Gen1. Better range and false alert prevention than R7. Watch YouTube Vortex Radar.
He rated them essentially equal with just different advantages. I also just turned off laser since if you're hit with it you're fucked anyway so what's the point. Rather that then tape on my car was my thought. Plus way cheaper if you have gen1 and do the upgrade. Will say though as soon as the new Radenso is released I will switch to that. Probably December or early 21.

I have the latest Firmware on my V1, They have YET to update for HONDAs' car radar and if you are near a civic or accord with the Honda safety radar the V1 is useless. I keep waiting for a V1 firmware update. You can update the firmware with the Valentine one App from your iPhone.

- Definitely less bogeys - Turned off the rear laser; front laster is left on - this defeats the gesture control. Learned this through trial and error On my Gen1, I had to turn laser off all together to defeat gesture. My unit is right of my rear view mirror closer to the top of the windshield.

Thank you all for the informative responses. I don't have to worry about gesture control on my car(non BMW) but am searching for a radar detector. Always loved the original V1 but lots of false alarms

I was a huge V1 guy and had it for 12-13 years until this last winter. I absolutely could not stand the false alarms and wanted to toss it out the damn window.
The V2 came out....and it looks the same. Very disappointing. On top of that, people said you still had to basically tape over the gesture control or other sensors with the updated version. I feel it's cheap as f*ck to pay $500 for a radar and still have to put some electrical tape over sensors in your $120k car. I bought the Uniden R7 and love it. Less false alarms...love the GPS lockout.....great sensitivity to actual cops....love that I can change the color of the readout to like 15 different colors.

THIS. I never understood people who said they are useless with laser. I pick up laser all the time when this very thing happens.....how often will you be the first person he lasers in a crowd? You would have to be on an empty road. I use Waze at the same time to lower this possibility, as well.

My V1G1 picks it up too....
I'm going to pop on the site and see if they offer an upgrade to the G2 tech. Yup, bingo! https://www.valentine1.com/v1-detectors/upgrades/

I just bought a G2 to slap in the window of my M and other cars, other than my 458, that has the built in Escort MAX Ci. I was going to buy a portable escort, but the top of the line one w/ the arrows is sold, so that made the diff for me. The MAX Ci, that's a built in unit, has arrows on display as well in my Rari.
