You can get your V1 upgraded starting January 2005 for the new dual-band POP mode detection:

What is dual-band pop mode? I have never found the $250+ worth any of the new features before...

yeah....its a sneak upgrade. I have a buddy who sells them and he got his latest shipment last week and it had the pop in all of them. It is for the instant on bullsh*t that the cops use a ton now from what i gather. I am getting a upgrade for sure....i almost got caught by that stuff last week...lol

Yeah - The POP technology IS bull****, but I know for FACT (tested in Michigan courts) that it will NOT stand up. Cops CANNOT write tickets based solely off POP hits because it is still an "experimental" technology.

I talked to the purchaser for the Michigan State Police, the Supplier of the POP gear, AND the Chief of Police, BEFORE I went to court and "verified" all my research.

Although cops WILL write tickets for it, FIGHT THEM, and do your research before hand.

Good Luck all!

-Matt

P.S. I LOVE my V1 - it is DEFENITLY the best mod on my car.

Is that where they hold the gun in thier lap and BAM!? I've been nailed like that before. Radar dectector goes off as you just passing the squad.

If so I hope they get nut cancer

No, pop mode is when they trigger their radar for a fraction of a second instead of leaving it on. It's not nearly as accurate as leaving the radar on.

But I'll skip the V1....the Passport 8500 X50 is calling my name. From what I've read its at the top of the game right now.

The Passport is prettier, but the V1 is still the best by far for letting you know what's ahead...and behind...I know quite a few people in my old Corvette Club who have the V1, and it is by far the best in real-world situations.

just upgraded my 3 year old V1 last month & when i got it back from valentine it had the dual mode POP protection


on a side note, i wouldnt trade my V1 for any other Detector on the market, even if you gave me 500$ with the trade. i have owned other detectors & none of them can compare to the peace of mind given by the V1's Bogey identification & counter
