Radar Detector
#21
Redline has better overall performance over V1, but V1 has better k-band detection and arrows (helps understand where is coming from), but most radars now is Ka band and cop are located on side, Redline has better reaction (faster) on side view radar. Also if you are lived in the state where radar detector is illegal then buy STi Magnum it has same components as Redline but it's invisible to cops radars that may be affect performance a little bit.

The Redline is completely stealth to detector-detectors. I think that is what you were trying to say?

I just wish there was a silence button for the V1, it can get annoying having it go off from a supermarket door. I don't wanna have to turn the volume up and down passing through that same area every time! :x

I agree. That's why I went the escort 9500, you can turn off the x band in the adance mode and the gps marking makes false alarms go away.

I love the integrated look. No wires, nothing hanging on the visor. Just a small display in my iDrive screen where I installed it.

I am going to have to figure out how to use turn those bands off. So cops do not use x band or K band?
