Let's see... $1200 minus 1 ticket @ $100 that's $1100... Minus cost of V1 @ $400 that's $700 thrown down the drain. NICE! Great system.

The K40 can't compete with the V1. Yes it hides more nicely because all of the guts are istalled away but for $700 you could get the mirror with the heads up display installed.

On the jammer side, I've had great luck with Blinder on my last car. Didn't put one on here yet - I guess I'm waiting for my first ticket with the benz!

i have two V1's. didnt get a ticket yet.
and the best thing about a V1 is that you can give in your old V1 and get the updated one for just a few bucks.

Did they take you in on the spot when you were pulled over? i have heard if you get pegged 100+ it is straight to the local court.

He sure did, but I posted bond there too. He wrote it on the ticket and got the credit when it was time to pay the "F"ing fine.
