DC Cruiser
I have a remote Bel, it is just above the speedo. Radar sensor is wired through engine bay, and down at bottom of bumper in back of bumper cover, and two laser sensors in f/r windows. Circuit City has or can order them for under $400, and you'll never have to worry about theft of your unit, nor cops seeing a detector. Your also talking to someone driving lots in VA and DC where detectors are not allowed-

the passport 8500 is the best bang for the buck, still spendy at $300 though.

Yeah, Escort 8500 would be the best bang for the buck. You may be able to get it at around $280 at Best Buy or the net.

escort 8500 is pretty good for frontal protection just about the same performance like 90% of the v1.
for rear protection the 8500 doesnt COMPARE to the v1.
trust me i've had a 8500 for the past 2 years and switched to a v1 about a 3~4 weeks ago.
and I also LOVE the arrows

I've used the 980 plenty of times (borrowed from my roommate) and it's worked fine. Personally I'm about to buy a V1 though just tobe certain.

I have an 8500 but I'm seriously considering changing to a V1 for the arrows. It drives me nuts when it's going off and I can't see or know which direction the cop is.

Here's one link. Some of the models have been replaced by slightly augmented new models but (eg: Vector 980 became the Vector 985) but they are still essentially the same:
