Happy VALENTINE 1 GEN 2's Day!!!! Does it work? Is it worth it?

The fabled Valentine 1 radar and laser detector got a full refresh in the form of the Valetine 1 Gen 2. I got one for my Porsche Boxster S and put it to the test. Full review... plus the pricey must-have accessory needed to actually use the danged Valentine 1 Gen 2.

I think you nailed this point. Radar detector is just that “Radar”. If you live in a city or town that actively sits and runs radar, sure it’s good, however, most cops drive and observe driving. They will have to tail you to get an accurate speed but the ticket will usually say something like observed speed. Yes this can be fought but then it’s $$. Therefore, it all comes down to this.. just slow down. Ive got a hybrid sports car and I like to get on it for 7 seconds but I’m not a fool and even then my head is on a swivel and I’m using Waze. I do love the V1 and believe it’s the best detector for years and years but I think it’s still a false sense of security for the guy that thinks he can smash the petal anytime, anywhere. Honestly, how many times have guys cranked through all gears up to 155+ for 10 min except in a chase 😆 😆

Use locktite blue and the screws won't come loose every three weeks.

Nice. It settled down and has been doing well. But if it shrinks up a hair this winter and needs tightening, I'll get some! Thanks!

What did you install for back up camera? Would like to see a video on that. Thanks.

[@autofocuscarsvids719]

I can text my guy and see. There's a firm in town that does these installs for the dealers. They don't have a website because they are B2B, rather than dealing with retail customers often. He installed it in my assistant's garage. I can see what he used though. Because I have no parking sensors, I got a backup camera and then later a front one too

My solution was to move to somewhere with higher speed limits(80 in Idaho).

This video is more about a Porsche boxter than it is valentine 1.

[@autofocuscarsvids719]

I've now had the chance to use the V1Gen2 with the GR Corolla and Macan too. Is there some info about the Valentine 1 Gen 2 that I could have included but didn't? I'm making a follow up about using it in the Macan. Thanks

I know this video was nothing I was hoping for
