it will only detect a cop car if they have the radar on. if they dont have radar on, they dont have prove u were actually speeding. 90% of highway patrols will have their radar on . nothing can save u from laser gun tho
V1 can only be purchased online.作者: 字典仔 時間: 2008-2-20 02:55
i have a fairly old BEL 745 sth...it's still working good when it's 10 years old+
agree V1 is the best choice, radar detector is legal but it's also tellling the cop u are always driving fast...
jammer is illegal (it blocks their signal)...作者: nes 時間: 2008-2-20 11:07
Why spend close to $500 for a top notch detector when the cops in Canada/US/HK are using Lidar? The LTI lines of radar and UltraLyte are proven to kill most detector because of the low-power and quick response time.
I am seeing more laser being used in Vancouver/Washington than before. Needless to say laser is instant, and there's no advanced warning; by the time V1 picks up the laser, the speed is already measured.
That being said, unless you are driving really really fast, spending $400 on a V1 might not be the best choice in Vancouver. $600 can get you a very good laser jammer (legal) from Blinder,Lidatek or Laser Defense which will guarantee jam most of the laser guns and the cops won't even know what's going on. (too few people uses them to produce a known error code). Laser Jammer pair with a decent radar detector will make you invisible to cops laser or radar.
nearly spending 1k to get invisble from the speed monitoring units =[ but thanks for all the info guys!! i normally dont drive amazingly face neither haf i ever gotten a speed ticket in canada,
but most if the time cops pull me over for my car =[ and i get VI'd ><" ****t...but i guess mayb later on ill invest into a V1 just for the sake of highway patrols =p作者: pkphilip 時間: 2008-2-21 09:29
They use laser on highways too now, most of the time on overhead bridges and exits of the highway.
I know some people like to push the limits on modding their cars, is the inconvenience of getting pulled over, cops hating you, going for VI worth the look and performance?
