i have the valentine one radar, i drive over 100 highway miles a day, and it has saved me a few times. i bought the blendmount off of ebay so it is by no means in my line of sight when driving but you can also see it if you look with no issues. and cops cant see it unless they are really looking for it. also mine is hardwired.

I am looking to get radar detector, Also I am from Virginia so Its illegal to have them, but I am willing to take a risk. I live 8 months in nc anyways. My friend has a mercedes and her **** is built in to one of her air vents and she has like a remote control. Its pretty legit.

i had a valentine for about a year and to be honest i didnt work for **** for me...i had it hardwired and mounted on the top of the windshield and the middle and it rarely picked up anything in the city, but on the highway it would pick up Ka and K band signals like miles before i got to the cop

Mine has saved me many times, great device. Mine is hardwired from my sunroof and looks great.
I had an instance where I went through a town and passed 5 different cops at around 15-20 second intervals, those arrows are amazing.

I have a Escort with Blendmount + invisicord. With the invisicord you just find 12V and ground on your mirror connector and push the pins into the connector. Works the same for the Valentine ones.

You do know they have radar detector detectors? If they have those around you and use them there is no way you can hide it.

i had a valentine one, loved it, will be getting another one soon, also the valentine doesnt transmit a signal that a radar detector detector will pick up so its more or less invisible to them just an fyi

Anyways, I personally use a V1. Best detector I've had... plus the magnesium case is durable, having survived a roll-over while sitting on the windshield. I mount mine up high, hardwired.

Virginia does use the Spectre RDD's heavily, so the only acceptable detector is the Beltronics STi.

Virginia: Beltronics STi Driver on a visor mount hidden underneath a visor organizer is the popular method. The STi is the only one that won't be detected by Spectre RDD's in Virginia/DC.
