I'm just wondering if anyone is using one of these and if so what you think?

Is there anything better on the market?

I am and can supply a new one if you want one, as Valentine will not ship outside of the US. Answering your question though it is still the best non GPS unit avaliable on the market, it is far better than any device Snooper or Bel make. Pictures of my install in the BMW, also had it fitted high up in the S2000 both cars also have a valentine one concealed display fitted, these were an extra £40 each.

I use one and it has saved me on a number of occasions excellent laser detection.
Most recent save, M6 toll, plod on bridge with the sun behind him using a laser. They just do not fight fair, do they ?

Thanks for the input guys

Unfortunately there is little or no info for the GPS based unit where I live. Its normally crouching copper, hidden camera and over the last few months Gatso vans are haunting us

Will the Valentine pick up the Van mounted cameras ?

Yes it will, but it needs to be re-programmed for use in the UK. The program mode needs to be downloaded through the V1 site, it is not in the instruction manual that comes with the V1. I can supply and reprogram or if you want more details on reprogramming for the UK send me a PM.
