I have got a V1 and it's with the latest software.
Even you have the state of art radar, the main point is your speed will be locked on before you can slow down to a speed that could avoid a ticket. Say you are travelling 180kph on a 100kph speed limit road, you can hardly brake to 115 or below within a 1 second or 2.
Just my 2 cent
That's the main reason why ET mod to Brembo 6/4 pot.

I use them too but not 100% fool proof. the time I can be sure is when they are going fast or v slow. rest of time, the anxiety of being the first one to get nicked and then the taxi drivers start to radio their mates to slow down is just not great.
