LOL, man I thought it was real like it reflected too much light back or something. Well I do know where they are but any other protection would help too, I hate those things. I wanted to watch it on the news but I missed it, I wonder if people have been selling this ripping people off?Breeegz said:Busted:
Mythbusters busted the spray, and several other things that are supposed to confuse speed cameras, even going 150mph was busted. The best defense against speed cameras is to know where they are.

It owuld be cool if someone made like an auto panel that flipped around the plate with a push of a button 007 style.
Flagship said:The Valentine 1 is definitely not worth the money. I've owned a couple of fuzz busters, and I find that the cheap Beltronics work just fine. BUT, if you spend the extra cash on the V1, I have a feeling you won't regret it. I love my V1. Depending on how much controlled insanity you drive with and how dedicated (aka tight-assed) your cops are, it'll pay for itself pretty quickly. My V1 paid for itself within a week. Like I said, it's not worth the money, but you won't regret buying it.
Cellerator said:If you look at it now, it's worth it. Still performs just as good if not better than the 9500i, same for the STi, and it's got arrows. Only thing any of them have over it is the fact that the STi is undetectable and if you want to call the 9500i an improvement over the x50 because of the GPS, feel free to but I've heard more problems about the GPS than anything good coming out of it.
B1GHAM said:and most "good" radar detectors are invisible to VG-2 detector-detectors and Spectre series detector-detectors... that would include the 8500x50 the vector 995 the STi and the 9500i (as well as the valentine V-1)
stevie_b said:Are you 100% sure on the Spectre thing? I have read that only the STi is undetectable...
Cellerator said:The arrows weren't a gimmick, the detection outdid any other detector by a longshot, what kind of gimmick are you talking about? The 9500i came out and has about same detection as x50 but with gps that doesn't work right even after a couple updates. Sorry, but that 9500i still leaks radar. Again, go read the website I posted, they test the detectors about twice a year, hard facts right there.
PS, don't try that 360degree thing with 2 x50s, you'll have them interfering with one another and you won't get the results you are thinking about. Good idea but unfortunately, it doesn't work the way you think it would.
Cellerator said:Although they are sister companies, the STi and the 9500i are definitely not alike. If anything, they took the old x50 and stuck some gps capabilities in it. The only one that isn't detectable by spectreIII was the STi. The rest are detectable, go read this:

it's run by a bunch of guys who are radar detector enthusiasts so it's the least biased towards any radar detector.
