i have the 360 on a mirror mount right now. word of warning, that sucker is pretty damn big, and does wobble a little, and with the small text and my 51 year old eyes, I'm not that happy with it.

I have had V1's in the past, but they couldn't allow me to lock out X and K band (where all the false alerts occur, especially around Chevy vehicles), and the constant buzzing drove me nuts.

My last Raptor had the hard mount ****** with the laser shifters and I loved that setup, but it was over 2000 installed. I might just do it again in this one.

as for the wire tapping, played with that as well - my recommendation is taking the wire down the fuse panel and not try to hotwire into the mirror taps. the voltage change can cause some funky things to happen with your cameras and dome lights.

you can have your V1 upgraded to the current gen and the filtering is just as good, if not better than anything else.

you can also get the bluetooth module and lock out bands via the app.

also, ALP systems will now integrate with V1 as well.

Yea pricing on the escorts has soared with more recent models. All detectors used to be ~$400 or under. My first V1 is 1998 was the same price it is today 20yrs later, not much has changed with it either though (in comparison oto other makers design changes). The $6-700 tag on newer escorts is brutal, but avoiding two city of chicago redlight camera tickets and ive made up that $2-300 price difference. Those cameras might not be as predatory in everyone else's community, but that feature carries a lot of weight for us.

Curious to hear more about the R3. Looks to have all the same features as the 360, minus the ****** Live User network.
