Looks really cool except it has a CORD!!!
I have the Solo II which is wireless and works well for me. Perhaps if they come out with a wireless version I would be inclined to purchase...Thanks!

You must also like all the false alerts you get with your v1
Say what you want about the V1, but I've NEVER had a ticket while using mine.

I like the ability to program the detector to ignore certain false signals. I have 6-7 on the way to work that I wish I could program to not trigger. But for the price I will just live with the old fashioned ignore.

I have always bought Escort detectors but I wont even consider this one. I'm sure it works great but no way am I paying that kind of money. My x50 cost $250 and (knock on wood) I have never gotten a speeding ticket in 25 years of driving
