And honestly, I might just stick with the 9500ci because red light cameras and speed cameras/trucks are primarily Montgomery County (Silver Spring) along with Columbia. I don't drive in the District if I can take Metro instead (Caps games, Georgetown, Nats, etc.). Have to see how the Max tests out once production units get into real motorists hands. The following old article is still very valid (courtesy of Car & Driver). Please note that a brand new Corvette (by definition) violates Rule 1.

Almost any radar detector:
One C7 owner used the auxiliary power plug in the center console. (The console auxiliary power plug turns off with the car.) He plugged into it and ran the wire from inside the console. The wire went down and out from under the console door on the passenger side. This way the console door could stay shut. From there, he ran the wire under the molding in the passenger footwell area and eventually up the passenger side A pillar. Then the wire went across the top to just behind the rear view mirror. He said that it took him about 10 minutes. He was very happy! That's my intent, as soon as I can find a mount. Valentine 1 & C7 are both in my garage, just not together. All hardware mounting suggestions are encouraged. |

If you want the best get a V1 but that's only part of the picture. Lazer Jammers are the other part but very illeagal in most places. Also there is alot of sceptism about Lazer Jammers effectivness.

I think if anyone does their homework, they will find that almost every detector gives less false alarms than the V-1......I will say this....playing with the radar and laser on the C7 vs C6....C7 gives a strong signal further out than the C6....it may be the fact that the old radiator was tilted differently than the C-7....just guessing on that part but the signal return is stronger on the C7.....Just FYI

The V-1 providing more false alarms is because it is more sensitive in general. That's one of the draws. You very quickly adapt and know what is a not signal and what is a real signal.

I cant use or recommend one.......and I didnt know that you get accustom to the alerts on the V1 so I learned something- the guy that has a Lambo just installed that 9500 CI I think thats it....like 1400.00 plus install (he has 1800 in it) WOW. I know that had to hurt

I wondered about the radiator in the C7. I think you hit the nail on the head.

Isn't radar pretty much 20th century these days? All the police departments around me are using Laser, not radar anymore. Last time I use one, I detected just about everything but a police car!

I think it depends on where you are at- very few Lidars here and the limitations are you have to be sitting still, and cant shoot through tinted glass, etc.....so "instant on" radar (if the officer uses it properly) is the death here.......
