best radar detector for nsx

From this past weekend's drive in colorado...... The V1 and Ferrari's built in radar detector in the F550 were able to pick off a state trooper a LONG ways off, but not too far to make you think it was a bogus beep. My Sensoro Silver Bullet (rated best under $300) never get said a word...... BUT for some reason, it works AMAZING back in california...... ??? Anyhow, every V1 on the drive picked off the cop before he caught us.
I say, V1.

Why not buy one and see how you like it? It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Get it at the start of a 30-day period when you'll be doing a lot of driving, and really give it a good run. I think you'll love it...

If I didnt live in an area where RDs were illegal and if I didnt have SPECTRE detector detectors hunting me down all day, Id have a V1 too. Instead, Ive got a Bel STi, which is actually a *great* detector also. Terrific on Ka, good on K, average on X and laser.
No single detector is the best for all people. It really depends upon your needs and where you drive/what the cops use.

I actually had the valentine recommended to me by a cop who said it was the most effective system he knew of.
I think it requires some sensor wiring, yes?

the best radar detector in my opinion is the valentine one.
it's worth the price ($399).
mine has paid for itself over and over. see V1's patented radar locator in action:www.v1pop.com

No. The Valentine 1 unit is self-contained, plugs into the cigarette lighter, and can be placed on the dash, sun visor, etc. A remote display is optional and you can also install wiring for the power to avoid the use of the lighter, but neither is required.nsx2tall said:
My vote is for the Passport 8500 x50. I have them in all my cars and they work great. Here is a good article for comparison:

Not to be the Forum Nazi, BUT THERE's a ton of links out there on the search about this.
But I woud say Valentine 1 or Passport SR7

best radar detector
V1 baby!! love it. long time escort/passport, but now i've moved on...
today i had a pickoff attempt by njsp with laser. it picked up the scatter, & let me know.:smile:
nj is all old-time x band, but lasers are starting to populate
in the state's hands.
worst case, you dump it for $300+ on ebay anytime.
fact is radar detectors won't help you if you're a goody 2 shoes

I am certain there are remote mounted sensors and displays available directly for the V1 from the manufacturer.
Not exactly true. As I previously noted, there is a remote mounted display available from Valentine 1 (item 20110, $39). And, as I also previously noted, this is optional, not "required" as the previous poster suggested. There is no "remote mounted sensor"; the only sensor available from Valentine 1 is the radar detector unit itself (item 20015, $399), which can be mounted wherever you like (thus it is "remote" only if you get the optional remote display).KooLaid said:
The "store" section of the Valentine 1 website is here. See for yourself...
I could have sworn they offered a separate front and rear remote sensors about..... 10+ years ago....

Call Valentine Research at 1 800 331 3030 and ask for a returned V1 and you will get 10% off the retail price of $399. It will be the latest version V1.8 POP2 w/ Euro-mode and 3.826 firmware and that comes with all the accessories and a 1 year warranty.

RadarTest.com is a totally biased site that is run by Craig Peterson who bashes the Valentine One every chance he gets.
