I've got the XI as well. My V1 crapped out after a few years. Figured I'd invest in the latest technology rather than spend to fix the V1. I'm glad I did. The XI uses GPS well and really does reduce false alarms - although I'm surprised how much I'm missing the V1 arrows. I'd also be interested in ideas on how to hard-wire the XI in.

I just bought and hardwired a new V1 - based on how many folks on this and other forums swear by them. The install was fairly flawless, with a minor hiccup in the grounding (no 10MM Hex bolt under the CF roof) - but a quick trip to Home Depot fixed that. Works like a charm.
Only a day under my belt with my V1 and I've already been spotting "bogeys" before they ever see me. Nice. |

The V1 is an excellent radar but it is very noisy to drive with through the city. Im still going to keep the V1. I had the radar & car for two months and it probably saved me from at least 10 tickets on the highway where I usually went 30-50 over the limit. I did get caught one at 113mph but I got the tickect dissmissed. But I just want to try the 9500ci since it has more features than the V1 (radar/jammer/gps/learns false signals/lknows where speed cameras are located/ect...) I dont think Ill be dissappointed.

What's the function of the GPS? Do you mark false bogeys and it remembers them?

That's very nice. We don't have photo radar in PA yet. Sounds like I'll have to make the switch if it comes to town. You would have to think Valentine has something cooking to compete in that area.

I hope so, all the V1 false alarms along my everyday routes are annoying. I prefer the 9500i for everyday use.

Altho I have this radar, I find it a bit useless for my needs. I dont really keep it on my windshield when driving around town, and i know where all the redlight camras are. I took a trip this weekend and i know why everyone loves the arrows. What I might do is sell this and get myself a V1 since all i will need it for is for long trips.

check eBay. I got it off a vendor for 1.1k listed as open box, but was actually brand new sealed in box. I have to figure out how to install it myself to justify the cost.
