good product
I bought this few weeks back and the installation was easy. It detected rada and laser few times for me already. I will say it does the job. I have it on all the time.

The only thing I don't like is the false alarms. I have to use city mode all the time or this will go off too often with automatic doors and so on.

big speeder
I got this radar detector about a month ago and have since driven over 3000 miles with it averaging 15 mph over. I have had enough of a warning every time there has been a cop using radar. I one time I was with a few other cars going 120-125 mph and the ka warning came on, i only had enough time to get down to 80 but since every one ells was going faster i was not the one to get the ticket. This is not going to perform like the Vi, and i would not suggest major speeding 35+ over the limit with this unit. But if you are like many Americans who instead of talking on the cell phone and eating like to drive a little above the suggested limit, this is a great tool to have. I should add that it is by no means fool proof. Even the V1 is not fool proof, they will not help with laser. I would suggest the use of a CB radio, a police scanner (BCT-8) and laser jammers for more well rounded perfection. I would also like to state that by no means am condoning high speed driving, as a mechanical engineer i would as well suggest not go to slow either, it is the difference in speed that kills, so do not pass at a grater difference then 15mph when possible and try to stay as close to the average as possible. Also don't drive some junker at 100mph, if you do feel the need for speed please, for all of our safety drive a BMW, Audi or Porsche... these vehicles where designed for it and you neon or crown vic. was not. Back to the item at hand, it will more then pay for it self after your first cop encounter.

Whistler Pro 58
Well I bought this product a few weeks ago and so far no tickets. I live in Louisville, Kentucky and I think we are the 14th largest city in the country (something like that). Even when in city mode there are a lot of false alerts especially around Walgreen's, Rite Aids, and banks. Also I couldn't find what city mode to put it in from a choice of C, C1, and C2. I looked online at Whistler's FAQ and it says C1 is for larger cities and C2 is for smaller cities and completely eliminates detecting X band radar, and I have no idea what just regular C does. Besides that, being sort of large, and when I mounted it, it sort of tilted upward and still does this is a pretty good radar detector. Again I still haven't been pulled over, and I would recommend this product and it is priced well though I think it is a little out dated and I think law enforcement will be coming out with something new that this detector doesn't provide protection against.

Great Radar Detector!!!
I have had this Radar Detector for about 6000 miles now and it works great! I have used Radar Detectors for the last 20 years and this one is definately among the best. Amazon has one of the best prices that I have found.

works great for a lower priced detector
I was looking for something to replace my out-dated entry level Radio Shack radar detector and after doing some research, I read good reviews on a couple different sites about this unit. Once I received it and tested it out, I was not disappointed at all. I have never owned an ultra high-end unit, so I can't compare to those, but this serves my purpose very well.
