Know before you buy
The Gen2 features a completely redesigned radar-seeking engine based on military CHIRP technology. This allows for significantly better range on Ka and K bands and improved sensitivity to faint signals compared to the previous model.
Yes, the device includes laser detection capabilities. However, keep in mind that laser signals are instantaneous, so while the unit will alert you, it may not provide the same advance warning time as it does for radar.
The Gen2 utilizes advanced signal processing to better distinguish between real threats and common sources of interference like blind-spot monitoring systems. Its increased precision helps filter out many of the nuisance signals that trigger older detectors.
The V1 Gen2 is compact and lightweight, measuring 4.6 inches long, 3.8 inches wide, and 1.0 inch high. It weighs 6.5 ounces, making it easy to mount discreetly on your windshield or visor.
The V1 Gen2 supports all standard radar bands, including X, K, and Ka bands. It is designed to provide high-precision coverage across these frequencies to ensure you are alerted to active police radar in your area.
The magnesium housing provides a durable, high-quality build that protects the internal components while maintaining a lightweight profile. It is designed to withstand the heat and vibrations of daily driving better than standard plastic casings.
