The V1 is the only detector on the market with a TRUE rear detection.... it has a radar pickup on the front of the detector (facing rearward), so its not signal strength, but (i believe) a triangulation of signal reception to determine front/back/side-to-side (Is it just me, or do I sound like Ludacris)


And I will still take my detector that picks up every signal, because I'm smart enough that I can figure out what signals are and what signals aren't cops based on their strength and frequency. If you have a good detector that gives you more than a 2 second warning of an approaching cop, then you can ignore the single beeps (false alarm or cop w/instant on in the distance?!) and just pay attention to the stronger beeps.

I still refuse to trade my V1 for anything.
