I have a V1 that I used with my last car, I've had it for years with updates.

The V1 has been out of stock for months now with the explanation from Valentine of an unavailability of parts. Losing ground..make no mistake I loved my V1 and it has saved me loads of times over the years but the technology has moved forward and V1 isn't at the top atm. The Uniden R7 and EscortMax 360 has taken the crown by a good bit.

The V2 is in the works and hopefully it will return Valentine to the top of the Radar Detector scene when it eventually comes out. Even though I have an Escort Max 360c I think the Uniden R7 is probably the best choice at this time, its cheaper, better supported than the Escort, the reason i'm holding off on getting it is Uniden has a new top tier detector in the works for 2020 or maybe just an update. I will wait a few months before I decide on the best solution.

Again i;m not knocking the V1 I have it, but with a bright red car I want as much warning as I can get and the Escort Max and Uniden are doing a better job from all the reviews I have looked at.

Yea V1 on its own is no longer King anymore, however when paired w/ JBV1 it becomes the smartest RD available right now, just a hassle to have to use app with it constantly but I sold mine thinking V2 was around the corner so had to get R7 in mean time. In terms of range R7 and 360 beat V1, but when paired with jbv1 app V1 was dream to use, very few false, complete customization.
