no that means they dont have their radars on bro. cops dont turn that shit all the time. they can pace you, and if they pace you there's no way the radar will pick up anything.

it saved me last night for sure when i was playing with the viper.

i put it on L the most sensitive. it's annoying coz it picks up everything. but its good for me, slows me down

L is what I use too. You got to becareful being the only one on the road also. There would be no warning there neither.

!Xoible · 05-02-2008, 06:26 PM

yes so if ur the first ahead of everyone else ur screwed. dont be the first, dont be the last.. always hide somewhere in the middle.

bmwprince4life · 05-02-2008, 06:35 PM

so L then huh? ill see if that helps

Davinhci · 05-02-2008, 06:36 PM

Hell yeah if you are in the middle you can really have some fun. Watch out where there are hills too.

Yeah it works for me but you have to learn how the V1 works

Make sure you know how to recognize each tone. It will help you to better dtermine where those coppies are. If they are pacing you from behind or not. If you don't know how to recognize the tones then you can get into some trouble.

uh. its a radar detector - it detects radar - not cops. not all cops have radar and those that do dont always have it on.

lol ... like a COP GPS locater will help !

Big Windy · 05-03-2008, 01:50 AM

Personally, I prefer little L the best. A is ridiculous. Big L is also okay, but little L is like goldilock's porridge...JUST RIGHT!

You couldn't be more wrong. Try

and not giving bad advice. If you had

you wouldn't be saying these things.

Lots of bad information in here.

Big Windy · 05-03-2008, 11:29 AM

I don't have the manual with me, but A stands for "all bogeys" and is the most sensitive. not L

sayemthree · 05-03-2008, 11:52 AM

i think its all on thier website also.

drvai · 05-03-2008, 01:29 PM

A question....

Can a cop give a ticket just by saying "you were going to fast" without using his laser? (no proof)
