Yessir, and thats Valentine One in case you havent heard of them.

Expensive, but hands down the best radar detector on the market. From what I understand they also come with lifetime upgrades for new technology if it becomes necessary.

LOTS of threads on ClubLexus on this topic, just type radar detector in the search box at the top. There are two or three very good alternatives.

Valentine One if money isn't a big concern - the arrows are well worth the extra hundred bucks. ($399.)
Passport 8500 is its closest competition - very good, ~$299. No arrows, though.
You can also get a version of Valentine One that has display separate from antenna, so you can remote mount (and hide) the display in your dash.
That's the short story - do searches as DaveGS4 suggested for much more info.

I'd have to put the newer Escort Solo S2 right up there with Passport 8500 and V1. It's also portable with longer battery life. There are detector reviews out on the web, such as those at www.radartest.com.

Well Ken, sometimes you gotta milk it for all it's worth !

I have a new play toy to show off some mods in the near future.

I'll keep you posted.
