I am 100% impressed with Valentine Research and here is why...

My V1 is ~ 9 years old. I sent it in last summer for a update and they turned it around in 1 day. 1 day! Did I mention that their turn around was less than 2 days? When I got it back it was way less 'noisy' as I posted above and works well. Yes the 'your speed is' signs set it off but they are radar which is what it is supposed to detect, and it does. You can turn off this band if you want.

Anyway, this thread prompted me to call them this morning to find out what I am missing with the new Gen 2. The real person (they have real people answering their phone) that I spoke with told me that if my V1 was updated last year, I am not missing out on anything tangible and to save my money on a upgrade or buying a new V1. I don't have bluetooth, that's the big thing I don't have with my upgraded V1. I am not even sure how tying this into my phone which I cant legally use while driving would be a benefit.

Anyway, today's conversation with them reaffirmed my delight with this company.
