I think it would cost me over $200 bucks for an upgrade if I send mine in. A friend actually gave me mine for free a long time ago so he didn't have the mounts...I had to go buy sticky velcrow tape and set it on top of my dash. Works great.

to send it in and they would put some shielding or something in the unit. It was out of warranty and I didn't want to be without it for a month so I just shut off the laser and have driven that way since. Not a lot of laser in my area so no big deal.

I get laser falses in both the V1 and the 8500 from trail blazer tail lights on occasion. Im not the only one either.

Just wanted to mention that it is best to buy these things from an authorized dealer than trying to save a few bucks on e-bay. If you buy from an authorized dealer and have problems with false alarms, you can always send it back to the manafacturer for upgraded firm ware. IMHO I think that it would be worth the extra 100- for the 9500. There is the extra cool factor that the unit has similar to XM and DVD audio that the TL comes with. BTW I did mean the Solo in my previous post. I have the 8500 X50 with the blue display.
