Yup, worked great on the valentine. Which radar mount are you all using? I'm using this one:
Amazon Amazon

It's cheap, but I have to adjust after every 10 minutes or so, it keeps drooping down. Thinking about trying the blend mount next, any recommendations?

not using any mounts, its just on the top almost hidden. Never have to adjust it + with waze running in the large screen is amazing. I also have the dash cam behind the front mirror. Did a vline 2 install over the weekend and can’t believe how i had the car without it. Will post dome pics later

BTW, in case anyones needs a recommendation on a mount, mine is no longer drooping, just had to tighten it further!

I wish radar detection had more value in Georgia. Most of the traffic cops here use laser. I put my V1 away because it was just telling me I got zapped by laser all the time. That said, I've been intrigued with the laser jammers, but for anything really reliable, it's going to cost some serious cash and need a professional install (not that I couldn't after 40 years of electronics work) because they're only sold through shops.

Laster is getting pretty common down here as well, you basically have one second to react, if even that!
