I need to get myself wired up with a radar detector. I have been wrestling with the Valentine One -vs- K40 decision, but the data I've seen from discussions, tests, and otherwise haven't entirely convinced me one way or the other. I very much want a stealth install, which is not possible with the V1 - but I also want great protection which the V1 seems to get the nod on.
So I'm considering a "pepsi challenge" if anybody out there is willing to take me up on it.
I'm looking for an E39 owner with a recent K40 installation. I'm offering to purchase the V1 and then ship it to you for a week if you'll give us all on the board here some real-world feedback about how they compare when used simultaneously.
Once the test is over, you ship it back and if the K40 wins I return it to Mr. Valentine under their 30 day MBG and get the K40 install. If the V1 does well, I'll just keep it.
Any takers? Email me and we can coordinate.
If I'm being a bozo and there's already such a comparison somewhere PLEASE point me to it! Either way this isn't an inexpensive purchase - don't want to do it twice, if you know what I mean.
Given the issues of windshield glass makeup and tinting, I'd very much prefer an E39 only test.
Thanks!
Shawn
