A friend gave me this site to check up on info.
Guys of LIDAR - Radar Detector Test - August 2007
By their tests, the V1 is far above every other detector for range. I like the invisible STI, but legality isn't an issue, so being "invisible" is not of highest priority. Still open, but V1 is calling my name at this point. It has been a while, but I have driven a little with my brother's V1, and it was amazing. It did pick up from the side. I didn't have more than 30 minutes of seat time with it, but it was something else.
