any problems with the cops? and where did you install it?

They are undetectable to the VG2 detector detector.

Couple friends have lost their detectors from cops seeing the LEDs up on their visors. One friend lost two detectors at the same time; he thought he'd be clever and give the cops his ****ty one when asked for it. Cop said, "that's not the one I saw in your window". Double oops.

Email me for some slightly more concealed placement options that I'd rather not post.

...since my trip to Montreal last weekend. No tickets, but plenty of scares!

I've been doing a little research and the V1 seems to be the real-deal...imo.

...my only problem is, I don't like it mounted on the windshield or rearview, and Mr. Valentine says you can't do a concealed install because of the calibration between the front/rear sensors...

I don't like tinted windows, so the darn thing will be in plain view of everyone, which kinda sucks...

Anyone know what some other options there are...?

But I've got a V1 and either mount it above my rear view mirror or right at the bottom of my front windshield just above wiper line.

Of course I would only ever use this device where it's legal.

I just don't see using it for cruising around town...that's begging to get it pinched.

The road patrols have to use radar due to physics and the smaller
non-400-series highway towns are still using stationary cars with
radar from what I've seen. The only places I ever see laser are the
downtown core (nailed once there) and highways in the 905 areas.

Even a police scanner helps in the outlying areas because (and I'm
guessing here) it seems the cops get lonely, hence they're on their
air all the time. You'll hear them coming. If you could combine a nice
scanner with a V1 or similar you would be well-protected outside of
the big laser areas, especially if you're following good rules of quiet
speeding anyway (not blasting over ridges, watching medians, take
the speed down when making 80-to-50 km/h transitions into towns
because the local detachments guard the borders of their local home
towns like forts, etc).

It's out there. I see them with laser all the time on the Kingston/Cornwall corridor.

Having said that, radar is still the majority of use. Any solo-car trap will be radar. Big-production four car speed traps tend more towards laser when available.

The big laser traps having them talking to each other, which is where
that scanner comes back in. That's interesting that you've seen laser
out in the Cornwall-Kingston area. I'm going to have to keep my eyes
open (and the scanner on) when I'm out that way!

Oh, and if you're wondering - YES the scanner has saved me, on more
than one occasion, and most of the traps were the multi-car operations.

Though it makes for a less musical road trip :)

Most of the traps I see are multi-car, big-production. At least the ones where I'd worry about getting caught.

i'm biased to think that way.

Good points re the quiet speeding. Especially the 80/50 borders. You have got to be crazy crossing one of those at anything faster than 60.

what ever happened to a good friendly highbeam flash from the drivers on the other side anyways?
