This one appears to be rated better and has a gps function to disable false alarms. It doesn't sound like the v1 has this. Have you guys tried this one? I'll probably end up getting one for the slingshot.
Radar uses radio waves for proof, laser uses a 904 nm wavelength IR laser to get speed information. Radar is much more prevalent, as it can be used in almost all weather, and while the LE vehicle is in motion. Laser enforcement equipment must be set up in a stationary position, and typically during fair weather(for the comfort of the LEO). Lasers advantage is that it is very focused to its intended target, limiting its exposure to being discovered. Radar scatters, and can be picked up from long distances. I've had hits on my V1 at over 10 miles in the desert. V1 is the best radar detector available. Please use responsibly.
When you make this next PP SS pass, I hope you announce it prior. I missed the RZR runs, but have admired your efforts for years. This one I have to be present for (plus my family and I like interesting vacations, LOL).
The K40 I have is a radar detector with a laser defuser and can also detect every band of radar that emits different noises and visual alerts. There is also a highway mode and a city mode that removes X-band radar for greater accuracy.

The K40 is a nice piece. Please elaborate on what a "radar defuser" would be. Radar, and detection equipment is regulated by the FCC, and subject to very strict federal regulations and penalties for misuse. Laser is regulated by the FDA, and is under much less scrutiny, with state laws being the more pertinent in regards to countermeasure equipment.

I did use the V1 got tried of it going off all the time! I use the Escort Passport 9500ix now with the Android app I can custom the settings, turn bands off. V1 had an upgrade not to too long ago but to go back to it would cost $250 I really don't know if the upgrade would be the some!
I'm thinking of getting the 9500CI, I just hate the 2K price tag. I could dig it for 1K, but it's hard to justify for me, I dont speed THAT much, but I want to be covered when i decide to break it loose on the highway or up in the rockies.
Its been a very long time since I had a radar detector and I just found out about laser jammers yesterday. Anyone have any experience or any thoughts on which one to get for the SS?
Got a feeling they'll be popular with the SS owners. Been a long time since I've owned one too so need to research all of the options. Might well pay for itself in the first couple times they save us.

Have a customer vehicle with this Pioneer audio system installed, it's a 2017 Slingshot. It also incorporates the visor shown. So far it has resisted my typical efforts at removing it, leading me to believe it has a unique method of attachment. Would any of you kind folks happen to know the...
My wife and I are looking at the Sena headsets. Is there one model that works better with our 19 SS than another.
W really just want to hear our GPS and talk to each other while driving.
Thoughts?
I am looking to add a second battery (deep cycle) for LED lighting and accessories. I plan to order this battery isolator kit to protect the starting battery and to charge both batteries when the engine is running. This setup will also allow a Battery Tender to charge both batteries when Sling...
Just had my SS fixed. The main fuse block back by the battery completely melted after the fuse in the back. When it failed I had no lights, and not other electronics. The engine worked so I could drive but without all the electronics it was like driving an old truck. The 50 amp fuse was not...
Just picked up a new 2019 SL. I want to get one of those support brackets for a cell phone mount.
Couple questions -
to install the support bracket, do I need to remove the factory radio / screen?
if so, how do I remove it? I have read many posts saying it is just 4 screws holding it in...
