Best Radar Detector??

The RDForum is a great resource as was stated above. I think the 360 is the best blend of features and performance. The v1 with a matching app is also a good option but if you want plug and play, the 360 appears to be the one to beat.

thank you ^^^ what he said to the T !!

Redline is great for distance but in every other aspect it strait up suck's !

i spoke from personal use on a few top as you call, units in the last 6 mo's and have ret'd em all and am pleasantly using my 360 w a blinder m905 and could'nt be happier !!

I upgraded the LRD 950 to it three weeks ago. You can see the performance of the LRD 950 in the first picture Stealth posted. The LRD 950 has saved my arse multiple times. Worked way better than the Escort 9500ix it replaced. Don't sleep on the Uniden!

I have installed Beltronics STI-R radar detector and Al Priority jammers! You cannot get better protection than this period!
I know installation takes time and system itself not cheap but it worth every penny! i like clean look i hate wires hanging around or stuff sticking out of my windshield.

I have the 360. Hands down the best detector ive owned. I drive with that and the waze app running and to me thats the perfect combo! I do a lot of rallies, mexico runs and generally aggresive driving so its a must for me

Pssshhhhh them Mexico runs are super importantzz... Lol

V1 owner over here. It's easy to done out the K and X band guys. Leave the KA on and you're good to go.

[djseto]

Depends on where you live. k band is still used here in NC.

[Mr_M5Guy]

The redline with the add on Bluetooth module is the best I have had. It has Ka band segmentation and GPS lockout when used with the app.

Yes but that won't help you with Laser which is used in California. You need jammers.

Most smart people will either have both or none because if you have radar only you think you're good until you get caught by a cop with a laser gun.

I agree - beat setup out there

+1

See the link on my sig for a stealth v1 setup, a bit cheaper than mirror method

Bringing old thread to life
Time to move to a newer detector. I was abig fan of v1 until false positives pushed me to Escort 9500. Now Escort is becoming noisy as well and I'm looking for the balance between performance and comport. No lasers traps in WA state so jammers are not needed. Looking at the forums it seems that v1/yav1 and max360 are the top choices but it looks like uniden r3 is getting strong recognition as well. Anyone has a hands on with the latter or managed to compare the three in practice?

[josec70]

Can't speak to V1's or Uniden but can confirm that Escort just released new firmware this week to address some of the BSM Falses with the 360. I've had it a couple of days and it has been much quieter. Solid radar is now much better IMO.

Good Luck!

I really like my Uniden DFR3. It has the capability to GPS block false signals (not easy peasy like the auto function of the 360, but doable).

I'm in the Houston area and I have not seen or heard any K band in a long time so I just disable X and K all together which relieves any need for blocking out false K signals - whether from the grocery store or the Audi driving nearby.

Thumbs up for the DFR3 - and the ~$300 pricetag.

[TrevorM3]

how do you find out what signal your local department is using?

i need to iinvest in one badly...

[Fundguy1]

V1 has best detection. 360 right behind it. 360 more features which mostly are compensated for with V1 app. Personally, I run V1, Laser-interceptor hammers, and Waze app. False signals don't bother me as I drive mostly in areas with no false and I know where the few of them are. Also, it's pretty easy to figure out if something is false or not anyway if you're not a panicker. Going to do alp jammers on M5 once its here and maybe a mirror integrated V1.

[josec70]

The 360 w/ the latest firmware is exceptional; virtually no BSM falses. Paired w/ Waze is great.

now i understand you have a v1, and you may be biased towards it.. but when you say it has the best detection, are we talking radar, or laser? the last 3 times i've gotten hit, have been with radar. I need something that can pick these douchebags up ahead of time. I also travel the same route frequently (city driving) so this should help me narrow down the type of detector to get.

It has the farthest radar detection of the lot for detectors in its price range. Laser detection is useless if it's detected it means you've already been clocked. You need jammers for laser. As for being biased I'm not. I also own a passport. They rating firms and owners constantly report testing. The v1 for over a decade has been the best or barely second. In any case way past the others except the 360. Even then, you can upgrade it every few years to the current version for a fraction of the price of constantly buying new again so it stays at the top. Get that, the v1 app, alps jammers, and waze app and you've got the ultimate coverage combo.

[BDWonder]

can the Waze app be somehow integrated into the detectors? Or is it simply a stand alone process whereby you guys have the app running on the fone side by side with the detector?

gotcha, wasn't trying to come off malicious by saying you were biased. I didn't mean it that way.

I've been reading on the radar forums, it seems v1 is best for me. I still need to understand the lidar/radar/instant on crap however.
