Real world V1 testing performed by me
To go along with the 8500 thread...
I also had a stationary radar setup on my block. It was a K unit.
It was facing west.
First test
Came from the east (so I was going towards it, but it was aimed the same direction I was going) Picked it up at .4 miles
As I passed, now it was behind me. The V1 rear sensor picked it up for 1.2 miles!
Second test.
Came from the west (so I was going towards the radar unit & it was in aimed in front of me)
Picked it up at 1.7 miles!
As I passed it the rear sensor got only about .2 miles (it was now behind me, & facing the other direction)
Road was straight, There was a underpass about .5 miles from the radar unit. Unit was in the middle of the road on a 4 lane road.
I have my V1 mounted just under the rear view mirror with a clear shot of the road in front, & in back. I also have 15% window tint.
Testing was done at 3pm Saturday, sunny weather.
Also here's a story of why the V1's arrows are so important. Friday, there was also a KA radar unit setup 1 mile down from the K unit. The V1 was able to detect both of them, with there relitive signal strength, & the arrows told me they were in front of me, or the K was behind, & the KA was in front, or the KA was behind, & the K was in front. It is such a great tool! You guys that balk at them need to experience them. I used to have an 8500. I'm not bashing the 8500, there's nothing wrong with the 8500, it's just missing a great feature.
Also, the KA unit was gone so I couldn't really test it, but It was facing the west, I was coming east, so it was in front of me, & the V1 picked it up at 1.8 miles. All the while also picking up the K unit.
What does all this mean, you guys decide. This is just real world experience from regular people.

Had my first experience with instant-on radar. I was not speeding, otherwise I would have a ticket. From now on, I will pay more attention to the small blips.
An FX35's HIDs behind me were setting of my V1 laser warning. Has this happened to anyone else?
