I tried the max and while its completely functional in its detecting capabilities it just fell short of the V1 in other areas: the app, the bulk, lack of arrows, lack of customization. I think people who get it just want a detector that works completely out of the box without tinkering but its not like the V1 is difficult to customize.. For the same price i got the V1 and after a few years i am still extremely pleased with it. It's a very trusty detector. You can customize it with Yav1 but you dont have to use yav1 all the time - only if you want gps speed muting and lockouts. Detectors produce many K alerts where i am so i turned it off and just use the Ka detecting unless im going on a road trip. If i were to upgrade, i would look at the Uniden R1 or R3, seems like its the new king in detecting distance. I know for sure i will miss the V1 arrows if i do upgrade.

ezrider1199BTW it's not detectors producing the K bands, it's all of the new cars with traffic sensors, proximity sensors, collision detectors, etc etc. Really annoying.
