    Thanks for all the feedback on the new units everyone!
    Jammers are illegal. The only "jammers" that work are big and cumbersome military units. There are NO jammers available for sale to the public that work. NONE.

    Passport's laser shifter does just that, shifts the signal and the gun can't get a reading because the light does not reflect back in the correct path. It doesn't actually "jam" the signal. Although it nets the same result.

    Here is all the info on the setup. It is the pimpest setup and defense against laser IMO:

    You beat me to it. Yes, the "jammers" that are sold don't work despite the urban legends.

    As for which radar to get, the V1 is the way to go. The "arrows" showing yout he direction of the signal is something that you can't live w/o once you have experienced it. The 8500 does not have those arrows.

    there are some that work, they have to be mounted up in the front and are marketed as "garage door confirmers" or something like that and aren't tied into a radar detector. when they get hit by radar they send back a signal and light up a light for 5-10 seconds while you slow down, then its disabled...5th gear or someone did an episode on them and tested them all out
