Valentine 1 - N/G in a current BMW

[B-Line]

Hey Gang,

So some of you might remember that a few months ago I posted about having difficulties with my V1 in the 750i.

So I looted the Porsche for it's V1 and put it in the bimmer for the drive to Vegas. This is what I learned.

1) The V1 in my Porsche was in better condition than the V1 in the Bimmer.
- I noticed an immediate improvement in the performance in the 2nd radar.

So, I called Valentine 1 and told them, I think one of my radar detectors isn't working 100% and I sent it in. But while on the phone I had a conversation with one of the customer support reps and was told:

2) V1's do not work well in BMW's because of a metalic - Something or other, they use in their windshields on late model cars.

So my point is, while there is no doubt one of my radars wasn't working well, my initial statment months ago was also correct, Valentine 1 radars are not good for BMW's.. This is out of the mouth of a V1 Customer Rep.

And while my 2nd radar worked, "better" than my first.. I would not say that the performance of my 2nd radar was up to par of what I would expect from a V1.. (late beeps, etc.)

-- Kinda sucks... Doesn't it?
