Default Laser Jammer

Back in my B6 S4 days, I purchased a laser jammer (a group buy arranged by the forum member). I wonder if there is any newer technology available and you guys are using on your Audis. (I am looking for a RS3 so I started with this forum first...)
I am using my V1 and want to know if any other newer radar in the market is as good (or maybe better)... you guys can recommend.

V1 is still among the best for radar. There are some Escorts with more features like GPS, etc., but as far as sensitivity goes, the V1 is still great.

For laser jammers, look up the AL Priority. 2-3 sensors in the front, and 2 in the rear, you're golden.

I did a little research on this and it looks like the Escort Max Ci 360 was a pretty great setup, but priiiiicy.

Thanks guys. The escort one seems to be very nice but it is too much for me.

The Escort all-in-one systems historically use components from less-capable third-party LIDAR jammer suppliers. Worse still, they don't update the firmware to deal with new or revised LIDAR guns. As noted above, if you run any LIDAR jammer at all, run the ALP. Properly installed and set up, they will jam every gun found in the wild. ALP also updates the firmware very frequently (usually once a quarter) so you'll never be left out in the cold.

As for radar detectors, the just-released Uniden R3 has been very well reviewed. Essentially Redline-like range with GPS lockouts and decent BSM (blind-spot monitoring) false prevention.

How do the V1s perform in the world of ACC, blind-spot monitoring, etc.?

I like my V1 and have been using that in the last 10 yrs. save me countless time.... but at the same time, I am growing old and don't drive as much aggressive as i was younger.
Been using a Laser Jammer a few years and my impression is even better than V1. But the one I used is only between 2005 to 2010 and loss track for the newer offerings.
