Thread: Valentine One VS Redline

I looked up several tests, and although the V1 has been the winner for years, in head-to-head tests, the redline beat it on almost every test besides cops from behind, where the v1 won by 200 feet.

redline does not have gps so i doubt it'll be that good in filtering out false alarm.

I keep the V1 muted and use it exclusively for it's directional arrows, and rely on the Passport 9500ix for alerting me of an upcoming threat.

As for the Escort Redline: I've never had any personal experience with it, but if the false alarm performance is anything like the Passport 9500ix, then it would be boat loads better than the V1. If you learn to subconsciously ignore the beeping due to the constant barrage of false alarms, what's the point of having a radar detector? JMHO.

I agree with you. I run a K40 now and have ran the V1 in the past it seems like when you are in the city it never stops going off. The Passport is a great product to.

I have never heard of this, so I e-mailed Valentine One, and they said this:

Yeah, that's it. It's basically 10% off which is always good.

K40 and V1 combined is the best

V1 owner. It's saved my ass countless times.

i agee with randyway. ive had a v1 a few years ago and it goes off so much i learned to ignore it mostly. but i think im gonna do what randy said to do sounds like its should work good especially if you get the arrow installed in mirror.
