The web site really doesn't give that much info. The big advantage they push is the wireless aspect. I'm sticking with V1.

Should probably stick with the V1. I'll check it later and post if found something interesting. You could also check Blinder against laser, if it's legal in your country. You'd have to remember that the blinder also needs pro installation and more user intervention on usage.

Getting a little of topic here, but the K40 audible direction warnings may infringe the patent.

Here is a link to the patent if anyone is interested.

Oh I've been using the V1 for years and very pleased. But having a hidden away system does have its pluses. The K40 Undectable has been using left / right light pods for years as a means to tell you front or rear if you had the 2000 system (front/rear radar detectors). Their performance was good but not the best of the custom install types but certainly the equal of any dash mount units as far as radar range detection was concerned. The new aspect here is the lack of wires and a remote control rather than a dash mounted control. Certainly some interesting features worth considering, but also a sign of things to come from other vendors I'm sure.
