V1 or Passport X50?

Hi, all.

I want to have a radar detector with my wife's X5. I am just wondering which is better between V1 and Passport X50. I myself use V1, but some other fellas claim that Passport is very good too.

Looking forward to hearing some EXPERT ADVICE from you guys.

Thanks.

Brian

I've had experience with both. The Passport is a very good radar, and is pretty much equal to the V1, maybe even a little better. I'd say get the V1 for the arrows alone, I have the Passport, and regret not getting the V1.

i have the v1 in the x5 and the m3, and my brother has the passport in his 330, and they both pick up signals at about the same time...
v1 is nice because of its lifetime upgrade policy, i just sent mine in for POP.
v1!

V1 here... once you get used to the arrows, it's tough to not have them.

you can only buy valentines from valentine. the passport you can get anywhere.

Add another vote for the V1. It has saved me thousands of dollars in tickets, and, as previously mentioned, once you get used to the arrows, you cannot do without them.

V1 + StealthOne - great solution! And yes, the arrows are great!
