QUOTE It is radar dector, laser detector. Here in the states, the police use them to catch speeders. These devices, the Valentine being the best IMHO, help beat the radar guns. Less tickets for us heavy footed types. I have three V1's, they are great, plenty of time to slow down and make the speed limit. I absolutely LOVE my V1, but in all honesty, it SUCKS when it comes to LASER! Sure it goes off, but it only detects LASER when you are already BUSTED! (Ask me how I know) Damn cops. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) On a lighter note, I've never been issued a ticket in any of my Porsches. Only in the American Iron that I have. (maybe I should drive the 'merican cars less and the German cars more) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Back to the topic: It would be cool to have one "pop-up" from the radar detector holder (there ain't no smokin in my car). But would that be high enough for the V1 to "see" to the rear? I don't think they can "see" through the backpad.

I think you're talking about instant on laser like the motorcycle cops use. Nothing will protect you from that since the gun is not activated till they've spotted you and aimed directly at you. I got caught by instant on also. Out on the open highway I usually know a CHP is around close to a mile before I see him.
