I prefer my V1 over MY Passport 8500
THe 9500 is a waste of $$$ they should of spent the effort to eliminate false alerts rather that install a GPS to to just recognize previous ones.
Redline ??? have to chack them out....

If you're looking for a Beltronics I've got a heck of a deal going for Bel V955. PM me if interested. The ratings and reviews are through the roof. One of the best values to date. I'd be glad to give a forum member a run away deal on it if someone would like it.

if you live in a busy city I would go with the ix, just disable the autolearn, its broken and it locks out real threats.
If you dont live downtown you will enjoy the raw sensitivity of the V1.
V1 its the best windshield radar detecor in the market hands down.
Redline is not out yet and I seriously doubt it wll come close to V1's sensitivity, plus the V1 is the only radar detector that will pick up laser scatter.
Which it will save your *** big time.

In California the Highway Patrols have gotten so thick and scary. They hide in places that I have never ever seen them hide in before. Obviously the State is desparate for $$$$$.
I am also currently looking for a good detector. Going slower than the traffic around you does NOT give peace of mind. They target Vettes over people that are passing you.
I'm ready to start fighting back-- harder.

The Redline, while being the new kid on the block, is actually built on the STi's internals. So in my opinion, nothing new at all.
I've gone through a lot of radar detectors (BELtronics RX65, Escort Passport 8500 x50, V1, Whistler, etc. etc.) and am currently running a V1.
I favor this detector for the simple reason that it is so sensitive and has such an extensive range. I never thought I would care less about having the arrows, but now that I've had them I don't think I could ever go back to a detector that doesn't have the arrows. I just wish Mike Valentine would get off his *** and design a new V1 already. It's been 16 years since the V1 came out and even with their continued updates, it is old technology.
