Radar Detector

[dribs15]

I've put a valentine one with blendmount into countless cars....

Same with escort passport, redline...

Anyone have trouble with the blendmount and GPS signal? The blendmount puts the radar in a position that has limited line of sight to satellites. Before the blendmount, GPS would sync within 2-3 blocks. It can take 3-4 miles now.

Anyone with a Valentine One ever had it not save you and you got a ticket?

It is a little worse with the redline but not too bad. Turning off the wifi connection helps for some reason.

nope. I did a trip from Fairfax VA to north and south dakota and woumd have gotten at least 10 tickets had it not been for the V1. My rule of thumb is if it chirps even once slow down until its stops. Seems to work for me in City and highway driving

Having driven through Virginia multiple times, I can honestly say yours is a great endorsement for the V1. Because VA's got cops eeeeeverywhere.

I have an Escort 360C MKII with a blend mount and my GPS locks in within a few blocks. I have this same setup in my GMC truck. All normal for both of my setups and locks pretty fast on both.

Sounds like a business opportunity for a radar-detector-detector detector!

I was able to get it to sync better by moving it closer to the windshield. It doesn't "blend" as well, but seems more functional.

For reference, I have a Uniden R4.

Haven't had that issue with mine at all

Radar detector detectors aren’t a thing anymore. The company that made them went out of business several years ago and existing units in the field have been dwindling as they break.

Laser will get you everytime.
