Had One Forever, Buying One for the Mrs.
I've had a Valentine 1 since the early 90's. Over the years, it has been upgraded and has consistently been a top performer. Since those early days, these new V1s offer laser, a reinforced power cord (fixing a former Con), slightly modified/improved interface (see Pros) and new detection capabilities for instant-on radar.Pro:+Incredible detection range that always amazes my passengers... consistently voted #1 in the rankings in laser and radar tests, usually only dinged for price (see Cons) or styling. (Are they serious? Who care's if it's boxy?)+Able to track multiple targets at one time (9), which at first sounds silly, but it helps you filter threats+Able to tell that you've passed a target. Signal in front will shift to side lights and then to rear helping you ID where the signal is+Is he behind me? Front AND rear detectors (and matching light indicators) I think makes this detector one-of-a-kind+Black color (unit, mounts and cables)...

I've tested all the top models...this is the hands-down winner
For years Valentine had Escort and the others completely trounced. Finally, with the X50, Escort came close to Valentine in some respects. Their new GPS detector the 9500i is also based on the 8500 X50 model. The thing is, Valentine keeps a commanding lead in four respects:1. Yes, Escort now equals Valentine on K and Ka (but not X band); however, Valentine responds much better to instant on.2. Valentine's laser detection is insanely good. No one comes close...and that's what you need with laser, because it is very hard to "spot."3. Because of patent considerations, Escort can't have front and rear antennae on their unit and tell you what direction the radar is coming from. This is actually a VERY useful feature...and the rear antenna lets you know when a mobile instant on unit is creeping up behind you.4. Valentine detects instant-on POP radar nearly 100% of the time. Escort just plain doesn't see it half the time.I've driven with one since the mid 1990s,...

Peerless performance
I've had a Valentine One for four years and am preparing to order another one for our second car, since I've just had the first one hard-wired into our new one. The hands-down "winningest" features are the arrow system to tell you where the radars are and the "bogey counter" that tells you how many different signals the V1 is receiving. My wife is very impressed that the V1 can see so far down the road and over hills. Some reviews snipe at the V1's boxy styling. I didn't buy it to make a fashion statement. I bought it for its unmatched performance. There is a very nifty option: a small lightweight plastic block called a "concealed display" that has the direction lights, type-of-radar lights, and a mute on/off button. I velcro-mount it to my steering wheel column near the dash, so I don't have to look up to see what's going on (my V1 is near the roofline). Think about how much a ticket would cost, adding in risk of an insurance premium increase. The V1 is the way to go...

Product Description

The Valentine One is one of the highest performing radar detectors on the market. One reason for this is multiple radar antennas! The only other detector with two radar antennas is the Bel STi Driver, but in the STi both antennas face forward. In the Valentine One, there is one forward antenna and one rear-facing antenna. Using this combination of antennas, it effectively tells you the band and strength of the radar signal, along with the number of "bogeys," or radar units being detected. It will also tell you what direction the signal is coming from, and provide the best rear detection out of every other windshield-mounted detector on the market. Even when this sounds too good to be true, there's more. The Valentine One has excellent laser reception, consistently appearing at the top of tests in this category. In addition to the super high-performance of Valentine's detector, this model will never become obsolete. The very first Valentine detectors from 1992 look identical to the ones today, and can be sent in to Valentine to be updated with the latest hardware and software (charges may apply). If you decide on a Valentine One, you'll be in good hands with the same detector for the rest of your life. Top to learn more

V1 Concealed display
Instead of having everyone on your bumper because they can see the lights of your detector on the dash, you can easily move the display and controls for your V1 to a location that's better suited for you. Now, you don't have to take your eyes off the road to see the display and the device can be placed within easy arms reach to access the mute button when needed. If your V1 is powered from the cigarette lighter, you can install this unit in 2 minutes or less. If you are running hidden wires, the straight wire is easy enough to route and the unit is small/light enough that the included "velcro" or (in my case) double sided tape will hold it in place.As far as ease of use, the remote display acts just like the display/controls on the V1 itself. Split volume knobs, arrows and band indicators are all there. This unit does not shift the source of the audio which still comes from the V1 itself, it only moves the visual display and the controls.

Works perfectly
I had to get this because some dumb swine saw my light on the radar detector and chased me three miles down the interstate to see what the light was. Fortunately I was not speeding (obviously I have a radar detector) so all he could do is look for it on my dash when he pulled up next to me, but I had already taken it down so he could not see it. It did make me laugh though, he got so butthurt about it that he had his buddy cop ride my bumper for ten miles a few minutes later in the hopes that I had put the radar detector back up when he drove off. Also, people read this and ask do people really ride your bumper when they see you have a radar detector? YES!! It is beyond annoying. They can get their own radar detector or go the speed limit instead of trying to mooch off of someone else. So, long story short, if you have a V1 and drive a car (because trucks are higher up and normally people cant see the V1) then get this, unless you like dealing with mooches and annoying cops. The...

Product Description

Tired of other drivers crowding up behind so they can live off your detector warnings? Or maybe you just prefer to keep a low profile. Here's a remote display that partners with V1, moving all the visual warnings to a location of your choosing while V1 continues on duty in the dark mode.

The Concealed Display may be attached directly to the Lighter Adapter (see Note below). Or you may mount it anywhere using self-stick interlocking fasteners, then connect with the power cord (included) to either the Lighter Adapter or Direct-Wire Power Adapter (both included with V1).

Mute and Mode selection are controlled by the Control Knob on the Display (On-Off and Volume adjustments remain on V1). This compact module measures only 1.0-in. H x 2.5-in. W x 1.2-in. D. Satin-black finish matches V1.

Note: This "attachment" is not possible with the old single-wire Lighter Adapter used up through 1997. Replace with Adapter (Item 20319) as used on today's V1.

Includes: Concealed-display module; Power cord, 8-ft.; Power cord, 3-in.; Display-module backplate (for mounting); self-stick interlocking fasteners. Top to learn more

Anyway you will love this mount on your rear view mirror and they give you all the tools you need to get the job done.[...].

Blendmount is a much better alternative than windshield mount!
When I purchased the blendmount, I received an email from the vendor making certain that the mount would fit my car. I received the mount via priority mail in a couple of days. I asked the vendor a question, and it was quickly answered. It only took about 10 minutes to read the instructions and to install the mount. It looks great, unique, and professionally installed!!! Mounted from the mirror gives a great view of the detector, and frees up visibility from not having the windshield mount.It is kinda expensive for just a mount, but well worth the money for the professional and unique look. Look in customer pictures to see how it looks in my 2012 CR-V.

Product Description

When we designed the BlendMount for the V1 Radar Detector (RD), quality and adjustability were our main objectives. We wanted to utilize the dead space between the back of the mirror and the windshield. With the multiple adjustments we designed, the perfect RD placement can be achieved. Even before receiving your BlendMount, first Adjustment is to reposition your Mirror Stem so it is perpendicular to your Windshield by using the Windshield Pivot at the end of your Cylindrical Stem (see pics). Next adjustment is to also reposition the Stem as High as possible using the same Windshield Pivot. Both these adjustments ensure that your RD will point straight out the Windshield, and minimize any View Obstruction. Then simply readjust the Mirror using the Mirror Pivot only, taking care not to disturb the newly acquired Stem Position. Once you receive and install your BlendMount, there are other adjustments that allow the perfect placement of your RD, such as (1) Stem Slide, (2) Hinge Swing, and (3) Vertical Slot (see pics). All these adjustments are clearly described in our Installation Instructions and literally allow for the Perfect Placement of your RD. Get rid of those failing/falling suction cups and Clean Up your windshield !!! Also, check out our MirrorTap Power Cord (Amazon Item# B006074LT8) for your AUTO dimming mirror, or our HardTap Hard Wire Kit (Amazon Item# B0062PO02Q) and say GoodBye to that Cigarette Lighter Cord as well !!! BlendMount is not compatible with the following car manufacturers: Alfa Romeo,Aston Martin,Bentley,BMW,Bugatti,Citroen,DMC,Ferrari,Fiat,Isuzu,Jaguar,Koenigsegg,Lotus,Maserati,McLaren,Mercedes Benz,Mini,Peugeot Renault,Rolls Royce,Saab,Suzuki,Tesla,Volvo Top to learn more

Good Bye Suction Cups
This mount works great on my 2011 Mustang for my Valentine One radar scanner. I installed it in about 5 minutes and even hard wired the Valentine One into my power mirror.PROS:* Easy to install.* Doesn't take any aesthetics away from the car.* Doesn't come loose (does if you fumble with it a lot.)* Fits perfectly under the rear view mirror and the Valentine doesn't hit the mirror when putting it in the bracket or removing it.* No more suction cups and radar detectors hanging off of your windshield.CONS:* The mount moves with the mirror. Since the mirror is turned toward you in the driver seat, the mount and the radar scanner ends up facing the right side of the road which sometimes causes the scanner to not catch radar on the left side of the road. Sometimes, not all of the time.* Very pricey but the company knows people like me will pay the premium to get rid of suction cups.I recommend this product and you...

Removed the suction cups from the suction mount provided with V1.2. Screwed the remaining parts of the suction mount together with this Gen2 mount.3. Paired Gen2 with rear view mirror's rod using a Hex driver.4. Tightened the big plastic screws with hand to achieve desired stability of the mount.Mount I considered along with Gen2:The above mount was all plasticky and comes with warnings to make sure the rear view mirror rod is cylindrical only.

A must for CA Residents
In California, it is illegal to have anything mounted to your windshield. GPS, Radar Detectors, etc. If an Officer feels inclined to, he can actually pull you over and ticket you for a windshield mounted device.I have an Escort Passport 9500ix. I was using the windshield mount it came with. However, I noticed that it was rubbing up against my windshield when I drove and (I'm sure) in part to the dual 12's in the back. It was evident that continual use of the supplied windshield mount would eventually lead to a damaged windshield.This dash mount is working great. It holds my radar detector perfectly still away from the windshield, while obeying one of CA's many ridiculous laws. Plus, it elevates the radar detector to the perfect spot in order to detect laser without jeopardizing radar detection.

Once it is attached to your windshield, it isn't coming down unless you want it to by pressing on the suction release. The angle of the mounting plate can be adjusted up and down.

Incredible Product!!!
I recently purchased a Passport 9500ix and can honestly say it is by far the best detector I've ever owned. As a previous owner of several other brands including Cobra, Whistler and a V1, this one is light years ahead.From the moment I mounted it in my car, (which was super easy with their mount) I knew this one was different. I proceeded to mount it on the glass and started driving it without even looking at the owner's manual. As I began to drive, I was alerted to several door openers that my other detectors didn't even see, which to me indicated that it was far more sensitive. On my way back home, along the same route, I was alerted once again to these same door openers. At this point I began to remember why I quit driving with a detector many years ago....false alarms! Now that I had a more sensitive detector, I was wondering if I could stand to hear all of this noise everyday.The next day I went to work, (close to the same route as picking up my kids) and...

Expensive? Sure. Worth the Expense? Absolutely
If I had to sum up how I feel about the Escort 9500ix in a just few words, it would be "this detector is absolutely incredible" and leave it and its five star rating at that. But, if I was looking at detectors and see the price of the Escort and read only "this detector is....", it wouldn't sell me, so I'll expand the review (please pardon that the examples I use relate to areas in and around the Twin Cities, but obviously they should apply to anywhere these situations may be encountered)Why 5 stars? In short...-Because it warned me of a couple of speed traps a little less than a mile out before I encountered the squads on 169 between Shakopee and LeSueur. This was of the utmost importance, not only because it saved me possible speeding tickets, but it also seemed to mollify my wife who was a little unsure that spending $500 on a "gadget" was a wise expenditure in this economy...-Because the auto-learn feature absolutely works.

Escort 9500ix VS Beltronics GX65
WHICH ONE IS BETTER? READ AND FIND OUT. I bought both the Escort 9500ix and Beltronics GX65 for a week long, on dash, real world comparison. They both are sold by the same company and they offer a 30 day, money back guarantee. I figured, what the heck.....I'll try them out, side by side. These units were both mounted at the same level on the window of my truck.I read all the reviews I could get my hands on and narrowed it down to these two radar detectors. The Escort 9500ix and Beltronics GX65 models are touted as the most sensitive window mounted units available with the new "GPS" advantage.DISPLAY- Both units have the option of dim, medium, bright, dark and auto mode. The Escort 9500ix has blue lights. The background of this unit is black, but glows blue around the numbers, to a point of skewing the display a little bit. At night, it is easier to read.
