[s-cars] radar detector time; V1 or Passport 9500?

[Steve Mills]

SAAVY requires OBDII, which most C4's don't have. Alternatively, you can easily wire your own remote mute. 

Any time you're ordering from the factory, ask if they have any refurbished units- it's not a huge amount (10% IIRC) but it's about the only way to get a discount on V1 products (short of the five finger variety)

However, I'd love to see the V1 become a little more intelligent... a database of traffic cameras... perhaps the ability to benefit from tools like Trapster.  There's so much data out there that could help protect the "enthusiastic" driver, but Valentine doesn't appear to be taking advantage of it.
