Some say it's the best detector. Most of the reviews / ratings say differently. I've never even seen one.

I have an old Escort in my car, but stopped using it - got tired of hearing it constantly going off with false alarms.

Newer models will now remember false alarm locations, some even use an online database of same.

A lot of false alarms are now caused by the blind spot radar from several (but not all) brands of cars. The best of the newer detectors can mostly filter that out.

Compared to the old V1, I'm sure it is. I'd like to see a couple reviews comparing all the top models.

Thing is, I'd never pay $500 for the radar detector. But that's just me.

I've been reading about that. That, along with grocery store doors - if it's not filtered out they are just too painful to use.
