u dont want that. If your gonna get a radar detector, get a good one or you will feel like an ass when a cop pulls you over and goes "hey guess that little guy on your windshield doesnt work huh?"

The Beltronics unit is a good one, but it isn't nearly as sensitive nor as cheap as the V1. I only really reccommend it over the V1 when going into VA, DC, and parts of Canada on a regular basis due to its stealth.

cheapest detector you'd want is a escort 8500 x50. Those are good and "cheap" I think like $150 on ebay. I have a escort 9500i and love it, v1 can suck it
