But my eventual plans are to do the Escort front/rear 360 concealed system, radar-only, and then AntiLaser Priority for lidar (front only, just because I'm cheap and I was never shot in the rear back when I had a 9500ci). This is like $5k worth of hardware though....  |
Thanks-- I'll put the R7 "on the list" with the V1. I emailed Valentine with a few questions, but no response-- they've been shut down for the duration, but I imagine they'll start back up soon enough.
I'm sort of waiting to see what Radenso comes up with, and then to see if a mirror mount comes available.
I'm in no real hurry; I just like a detector for a "head's up" and a little peace of mind. |

Do not buy an V1g1 the original version, it is extremely chatting and will false with garage door openers and other cars.
The newer V1g2 is having major issues of powering off, the front display coming off, some have sent in defective units and it has happened again.
The Max360 has issues of randomly freezing but the screen doesn't change so you have no way of knowing you have no protection
The new Max360 just came out at $750 is just a refreshed Max360 with marginal improvements.
If you are buying now go with the Uniden R7, most of the bugs are gone, it has incredibly long range on Ka, good filtering to keep it quiet, MRCD although the Radenso ProM is better at this.
If you cant wait the new Radenso Theia will change RD's forever. A completely different way of protection. Not cheap as projected to be in the 750-1000 range.
