Getting back on topic, I have had a Valentine for over 10 years. I have passed older units down to my son and have upgraded to current technology with their upgrade program. The price during all these years has been $399 which was expensive when I first bought but now seems middle of the pack. I have all my cars hard wired for the detector and have window mounts for each. The arrows as mentioned once you have them you can't live without. You can set the sensitivity to weed out a lot of false signals also. I haven't had a speeding ticket in 15 years which is pretty amazing the way I drive sometimes and while the detector is a great help, common sense in it's use is the main reason to avoid traps and tickets. Highly recommend this detector.n/t
