do you think its worth the money? or is it a must have?

 

nice! i'm getting one sooN!

 

you should've asked, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAS V1?

I have one, and it the best radar I ever own..

 

did you hard wire in your v1? or do you run the cord accross the middle of the car to the outlet? I would like to get the v1 but i don't want to have a cord hanging in the car.

 

Do a search guys. There have been DOZENS of threads devoted to these exact questions.

I have one and it is the BEST detector out there. The only one that can come close is the 8500 and I still think the V-1 has advantages over it.

It is easy to hardwire. You can go into the mirror for power or you can do what I did and run the wire across the headliner, down the drivers side A pillar, and into the fuse box. I used the cig. lighter fuse. No visible wires.

 

The red line shows the path of my wire:

 

Will not drive highway without one.

 

just returned from an 2000 mile roundtrip and the V1 saved me at least 5 times for sure.

as long as there was a car somewhere out in front of me (even over one mile ahead) I had no worries.

cops would come along and instant zap the guy infront (twice they were over a mile ahead) the V1 would pretty much be pegged for about 2-3 seconds and then would go off. I would slow down and wait for 5-0 to show. A couple of times it took upwards of 45-60 seconds to have him pass me!

So all in all - if your gonna get a radar - get the V1!
