I am trying the Valentine 1 right now, from what Ive heard the 9500i has no better detection capabilities than an 8500 X50 just GPS. I dont think its worth it to spend 130 more just for GPS.

The V1 comes with a hardwire kit so im probably going to mount it high. I need it to see over my tool box in the back.

When ever you ask someone which is better Escort or V1 you never get a straight answer, probably the same as the Cummins or Duramax argument. Mostly depends on brand loyalty I guess...

youre prb right on all that , I like the V1 too I have that on another car and 2 X50s blue and now the 9500 and to tell you the truth I like the 9500 the best it just feels like better quality then their previous products
give it a test drive, many more features than just GPS its a lil smarter than us

the V1 is pretty easy to hardwire since it just uses standard telephone cord

Escourt uses the telephone cord to. My problem will be running the wires through the headliner, To big to tuck them under it..

IIRC they do have a straight cord now. Might want to check on that. Know that I have seen them before.

Where do I get power from? Those tiny fuses are hard to tap unless you simply wrap the wire around them. Wheres a good wire I could tap into?

Anyone got any pics?
