I have two V1, both close to 10 years now, one was upgraded through the factory program once. I've used one in the US, and 4 other countries, including Russia - excellent device. The box does look archaic, but it does the job it was designed to do, and does it rather well... There was an incident when I was driving with V1 and a friend of mine driving with something else - my V1 went off good 10 seconds before his detector went off, saving us from some serious trouble...
It is like an American Express, never leave home without one... lol..
