Does anyone have any experience with this unit? Do you know how it compares with "the big 2", i.e. V1 and Passport 8500?

Thanks.

 

Here's what I hear: the V1 is better because it has the arrows pointing were the threat is, and the V1 also has another radar sensor for the back just in case a cop wants to hit you with radar from the back and you don't see him. As far as laser detection goes, its practically useless; for laser coverage you need to get a laser diffuser because when the laser detector beeps its too late, you've already been hit and ticketed.

 

is this the one that's available at costco?

honestly i wuldn't trust it too much. i beleive this is the one that my friend once had and he was so pissed that it's not doing anything.

get the v1 or passport, with v1 i think is better. on acura board a guy just got both v1 and passport, put them side by side in his car for a week, and after the week the v1 stayed

 

I don't know about the CostCo one. I just found out that someone I know can get these for me at decent price. They usually sell for 329 which is more than a passport. I'm just trying to get experiences/opinions. I'm partial to the V1 but am open to options.
