Just general feedback on radar/laser detectors. I ran a couple different Valentine Ones for several years but have finally given up on all detectors. Lidar has so much range and accuracy and so very, very little scatter that they will nail you every time. A radar detector seems to simply be a way to let you know about 15 seconds early that you are going to get a ticket. Of course if the cops are still using radar in your area, that's another story.

Doesnt Laser Star block out Lidar detectors? I would assume they block out regular radar as well.
I want to get one of these but would love to know if its possible to install the V1 to go with it (where it reads on the cluster)
I dont know if that would be redundant or not.
