Замена V1 на V1 gen2

[romarrio]

Всем аксакалам и старожилам салют!
Пришло письмо от Майка с предложением заменить v1 на v1 gen 2 с доплатой.

Radar Detector Upgrades | Valentine One | Radar Detectors

The V1 radar detector plan includes continuous improvements, upgrades from earlier models, and no planned obsolescence.

Вроде кроме стрелок v1 всем устраивает, так понимаю, что замена будет шило на мыло, или все же есть потенциал у gen2 в РФ?

v1 на v1 gen 2 с доплатой

Сумма известна? Если начать с 3.893.

Там по ссылке - есть поле для ввода серийника. После чего должно показать искомое...

Сумма известна? Если начать с 3.893.

На rdforum.org народ посчитал, что продать через ebay - сильно выгоднее. V1Gen1 независимо от версии в $170 Майк оценивает. Для 3.872 может быть актуально.

Тоже получил письмо. А непонятно что нового ?

Вот что пишут если менять железку (п.1) :


Your V1 has been superseded by the all-new Valentine One Generation 2. We recommend that you upgrade.


Our Instant Upgrade works like this: As soon as we receive your old unit (in operable condition with no tampering of the serial number) we'll exchange it for a brand-new, current-production V1 Gen2. This is our way of assuring you'll be without V1 protection for the shortest time.


Price: $389* plus shipping


Why is this UPGRADE so costly: V1 Gen2 is an entirely new security instrument that outperforms by a clear margin even the most highly-evolved version of V1. So our Instant Upgrade is, in fact, an entirely new level of radar-seeking technology with all of the accessories you would get with a full-price purchase, provided to you at an $110 discount. We appreciate your loyalty.


* Special Discount for all V1s still under the original factory one-year-from date-of-purchase warranty: This additional discount of $50 will be applied when the V1 to be upgraded is received and determined by Valentine Research's sales records to be within the original warranty period. The final upgrade price will then be $339, providing a $160 discount from the $499 everyday price of a new V1 Gen2.


Here's what you’ll get:


All new radar and laser detector: Inside the all-new magnesium case is an all-new, and patented, radar-seeking engine, adapted from a concept used by military CHIRP radars to find fainter targets farther away with higher precision. New

technology ups the scan rate to hundreds of times per second.


Longer Range: Ka-band Range is impressively better in V1 Gen2. K-band range is also improved. Our new

and LNA technologies enable a substantial range increase over traditional V1.


Fewer Radar False Alarms: V1 Gen2 introduces K-Verifier technology to improve resistance to Blind Spot Detection systems in new cars. K-Verifier also extends to K-band a technique that we’ve proven over the years against X-band to reduce annoyance from automatic store door openers.


New Operating Controls: V1 Gen2 has a simplified control set consisting of top-mounted buttons for “Volume +” and “Volume -.” A front-mounted Control Button replaces the Control Knob of V1. These buttons are easier to use while wearing gloves and simplify programming procedures.


Improved Display Legibility: V1 Gen2 has our time-proven display with the Arrows and the Bogey Counter. To improve contrast and readability in bright sun conditions we’ve added a violet color filter. The back-lit band indicators now spell out the band(s) being detected.


Easier, Quicker Upgrade Procedure for V1 Gen2: When firmware upgrades are indicated at some point in the future, they will be downloadable to your Apple or Android smartphone or tablet, which connects wirelessly to V1 Gen2 through its built-in Bluetooth 5.0.


Wireless Connectivity: V1 Gen2 comes with built-in Bluetooth 5.0, enabling a wireless connection to your Apple or Android smartphones and tablets. Our free app—V1Connection, the app—can run on your device, giving you a revolutionary new way of analyzing the live stream of threat information flowing from V1 Gen2. You’ll also have access to future firmware upgrades and other third-party apps.


Stealth breakthrough: V1 Gen2 is much less detectable by Radar-Detector Detectors. New range-improving LNA technology also blocks internally generated signals from reaching significantly beyond your car.


Adapted for Engine Stop-Start Vehicles: V1 Gen2 includes our built-in BOB, the Brown-Out-Booster. This keeps V1 Gen2 operating smoothly during voltage dips caused by automatic engine restarts.


Earphone Connection: V1 Gen2 includes a built-in earphone socket for private sound awareness. Bring your own earphone with a 3.5mm jack. Nothing further required.


New Magnesium Case: V1 Gen2 has a new magnesium case with a thinner profile to lessen view blockage. The new case also has an acoustic grill to protect the sound transducer.


Complete with standard V1 accessories:

• Newly-designed windshield mount with new suction cups.
• Newly-designed visor mount.
• New Lighter Power Adapter.
• New Direct-wire Power Adapter.
• New coiled cord.
• New straight cord.
• New wire-harness connector.
• New Quick Start Guide and downloadable Owner's Manual.
• Spare fuse.
• Spare suction cups.
• Dual-Lock fastener.

One-year limited warranty, same as new units, starting at Upgrade date.

По второму пункту :


For serial numbers ending in the range: 1085-1178, our firmware upgrade to your V1 will add the features listed below:


Improved Euro Mode, now with K-band coverage expanded to include the lower-frequency photo radar devices in use in other countries.


Junk-K Fighter blocks false alarms caused by K-band lane-change warning systems in some newer cars.


Please note: The firmware included with this upgrade has all of the same features as the final version of V1 before the changeover to V1 Gen2 but will report a different software version.


* Includes one-year limited warranty, same as new units, starting at upgrade date.


*-- Firmware Upgrade to V1.85 w/ESP, Improved Euro Mode, Traffic Monitor Filter activated and Junk-K Fighter activated: As soon as we receive your old unit (in operable condition with no tampering of the serial number) we'll install revised firmware, then return it to you in the shortest possible time with a new serial number to indicate its revised capability.


PRICE: $79 plus shipping

Спасибо @dle, - наврал я. $160 это для гарантийных V1Gen1, то есть купленных не более года назад (что уже под сомнением, учитывая сколько по времени их не продавали), а всем остальным - $110. Это надо ещё учесть, что надо собрать полный комплект, отправить его за свой счёт на завод и получить (опять же за свой счёт) новый, в комплекте у которого будут ваши старые запчасти (шнур в прикуриватель, присоски), которые вы отправляли.

надо собрать полный комплект

Вроде нет об этом. Я так понял что отправляется только железка.
Хочется понять что новая версия может, за что платить бабки.

Если 3.8952 - будет лучше на мобильные Кордоны, в том числе и в спину, но на Скат-П - только вертикально. Но отправка на завод и обратно - экономически вредное занятие.
Если V1Gen2 - лично я бы всё же вложился бы в Theia, её можно настроить под нужны РФ, а V1Gen2 - нет.

Это как раз самое простое. Я думаю тыщи в 3 можно уложиться туда-обратно. 389$ более накладно.

Я лет 5 не слежу за новинками, надо будет посмотреть что это и как. Спасибо.

Valentine Suspends Upgrades

I waited with all of you, seemed like forever, for the announcement of the V1G2, then it came out. So did covid19. Upgrades were stopped, but that actually turned out OK because there were some problems with the early V1G2s. So I wait. At least I still have my V1G1 and in the meantime the V1G2...
