I have the V1, which is still the best out there (directional arrows are priceless!) hardwired. I'm looking for the laser jammer, I have the Lidatek on my M3 which is awesome (saved me a bunch of times!). But they seem to no longer make it, so I have been looking for what to put on the X5. The front surface area is much larger than the M3, so performance of the jammer is more important. |
you can find the detector cheaper than $1600... but even at that price, i think it's worth it if it saves you from a couple tickets. I've had the SRX (previous model) and it clearly saved me a lot, especially laser jamming.
The ZR3 did WELL in most the tests i read online, i can look for links later... but this is even the newer version, called ZR4. Also, the GPS functionality adds a lot when you really learn the benefits... and there is no doubt this is the best detector on the market. Having it remotely installed is a huge advantage also... because if you do get stopped the cops are much more likely to give you a ticket if they see you are using a detector.
The arrows might be nice on the Valentine... but that detector is greatly outdated, imo.
