Nice stuff.

For what its worth, you may want to test a Valentine 1 (or other radar box of choice) side by side against the K40.

Mine came with the integrated K40 (the band and volume switch is where the side view mirror knob used to be); it too has front/rear detection with laser jammers and frankly, it doesn't work very well.

I did some testing with known speed traps in my neighborhood and the Valentine 1 picked up the police radar signals from at least twice the distance the K40 responded at. Both front and rear. I don't know how to test laser jammer gear.....I think you'd have to be going ticket-procuring fast near a cop and not get a ticket to know it works - unless you're fortunate enough to have an officer friend wholl let someone sit in his cruiser while he hits you with laser....and see what happens.

You may want to borrow some other detectors and test them. Maybe my K40 is a poor example but I don't trust it like I trust the V1.

Since the vents are blocked just remember don't open your windows at high speed or you'll blow your rear hatch.

Clean it is - the K40. Nice to hear you're happy with it, perhaps I have some way-old software or something. I'll check into it.
