The bogey counter and directional arrows are still what set the V1 apart from the competition. I love mine, and it has saved my butt a few times.

It even came with a button on the shifter console to turn off the shifters once you slow down so the officer gets a reading
What is a laser shifter? A back laser shifter? How does it work?
Is it part of the Valentine 1 or Escort/Passport (SR7?) equipment?
Where can I find out about/purchase it?

Go to http://radardetector.net and you can learn everything you ever wanted to know about radar/laser detectors and jammers.

Its pretty much just a laser jammer they came with the SR7 plus package. The SR7 is a model made by Escort for their Passport line.

I gotta mention their customer service is amazing too.

I had a problem with mine which was a pretty simple fix and it was out of warranty.

Instead of charging me, they had me send in the unit, fixed it, and sent it back in a brand new V1 box UPS 2 weeks later. NO CHARGE.

Great company. They really stand by their products.

It saved me recently from a police officer hiding near a radar sign. I saw 2 bogeys and slowed down.

You can also buy the Escort ZR3 Laser Shifter as a seperate stand-alone unit. That's what I did. The V1 for microwave and the ZR3 for laser. Nice combination.
