Better check your local laws if youy are planning on installing a laser jammer. I did, and in SC it's illegal. A good friend of mine is a Highway Patrol and he laughed at me when I told him I had one and just said better not get caught! He also said, we are not stupid, and when we shoot the laser at you and it returns an error and then we shoot again and it returns a speed number we know exactly what is going on. He';s a hard ass to speeders and he said they would not get a any break what so ever if he realized there was one in the car... I have mine set to laser shifting off, but notified.

Get the V1 and be done. I have 2. They have saved my bacon countless times in the 10+ years I have owned them. The best part is the upgrade ability that Valentine offers. Send in an old unit and they will replace it with the latest version at a significant discount to the original price.

I personally like the V1 but the radar just gives to many false alarms in my M5. I now have opted for the 9500XI if anyone has similar problems do let me know how to set it up. On the Valentine I had turned off the K and X bands but still get so many false Ka bands that its annoying.

Nothing is fail proof but the LI is pretty close.

I have done actual live testing of the LI jammers with 5 of the most prominent laser guns, all with multiple hits in different locations on the car and as advertised, it threw ZERO "error codes". In other words, it keeps the guns form getting a lock and returns no error codes whatsoever. It is effectively undetectable. The only gun to get an actual reading on my car was the Stalker II that refused to lock until a distance of less than 20 feet, at which time, I was nearly stopped.
