Oh yea, and if you must have the tint...

window tint isn't really going to affect these because I believe the sensors are outside the car.

I'm not saying the V1 is the greatest detector in the world - it does have it's flaws. The 9500i is an awesome alternative and has some good selling points as well. I'm just saying that the arrows alone are an incredibly useful feature (at least for me) that you may not appreciate until you drive with a V1 for an extended period of time.

I didnt really have time to read the other responses, but you should try to keep it out of the window tint. I have a Escort 9500i and I love it, but there's a few things you should know (I got a ticket for like 140mph in a 55mph with it 
)
1.) Lasers = You're screwed. Get a Laser Jammer if they are legal in your state. I believe they are here (in GA). Radar jammers =/= laser jammer
2.) Watch for off duty cops.... they call buddies to sit up ahead, with lasers =/
3.) Don't speed too much, take it from someone with 22 points on their license (until I get done with the 100 hours of community service, which should drop it to 12 points)
Most cops are going exclusively laser, so once again, BE CAREFUL... I get hit with lasers a lot and sometimes I never see the cop... I've even gotten hit by one in stand still traffic.

It was actually at 2am with virtually no traffic on I85 North, which is straight for a few miles.

I understand your point, but I don't agree with it. Knowing whether the alert is coming from ahead or behind helps me decide when it's safe to speed back up, if I'm detecting a false (and Stealth is right, it does false often in the higher sensitivity modes), or if one of the safety/construction signs that PA likes to put on the side of the road is throwing radar again. Once in a blue moon, another radar detector will set it off and having the arrows helps me determine when that's the case too. I've also slowed for an alarm, passed the cop, and prepared to speed back up only to see the fwd arrow still lit with another cop half a mile ahead. These are just a few examples.
I'm not saying the V1 is the greatest detector in the world - it does have it's flaws. The 9500i is an awesome alternative and has some good selling points as well. I'm just saying that the arrows alone are an incredibly useful feature (at least for me) that you may not appreciate until you drive with a V1 for an extended period of time.
