Paging Dodge2Dub
I noticed you had blinders and a hardwired V1...is that remote as well? is the V1 installed behind your front bumper?
I'm thinking the first thing I need to buy is radar and laser protection. There is a newer blinder that adds laser protection to the rear of the vehicle. In your experience, would this be helpful, or a skip?
btw, do you live in so cal?

just a ticket according to previous posts...
plus, i am just not sure that most cops would even realize that you are jamming their radar. I have been thinking about doing this as well and I'm in CA.
My understanding is that jamming only results in the laser not getting a read on you, not some sort of other message. With this is mind, I suspect the cop would just think "didn't get him" unless you were the only one on the road....

The blinders are installed...
...with a hidden switch (recommend if you run them in Cali, but be careful if you do). You actually might want to keep them turned off in Cali and only use them on long drives once you've left the state. I wouldn't recommend the protection for the rear of the vehicle if you are using it in Cali and it is even remotely visible. Also, make sure that you understand how to properly use them in order to avoid issues with the law.
My V1 is mounted on the windshield and is wired into the MMI system for display and mute. The V1 is only available as a windshield/dash mounted radar detector.
Personally, I think that the V1 is great and is a must have. It gives you a lot of protection if used wisely. Most of the police don't use laser in SoCal, so the blinders are a personal decision as you may go a year or longer without being tagged.

V1 saved me three times over the T-giving weekend.
Once on a long, winding road with visibility for miles (I picked up his Ka band about 2 miles before I even saw him). Once coming around a bend on highway 20, and once while I was hustling through a windy country road (picked up sherrif on Ka as well).
