[QUOTE=contek;570110]There is a place in Perth that can install laser jammers which will jam the new speed cameras and laser using hand helds not sure if it legal or not and it is abit pricey but it defantly works.[/QUOTE]Illegal. BIG$$$ fines if caught.

[QUOTE=PRODIGY;570301]There was talk a while back about radar detectors in WA being made illegal, is this still the case?
[/QUOTE]Yep. Gonna happen; just a case of when. Since we are the last state in the country who are gonna outlaw them, they aint gonna have much on-sell value.

And for those thinking of taking the risk of keeping/using same when legislation is passed, you can bet the plods will get a hold of detector-detectors and big fines will ensue. Win-win for revenue.

lol..............

Why doesnt my radar gun work on that car going past? Derp. Yes they are illegal, and obvious too.

Looks like the next business is the dectector that detects the police detector detectors, so you can keep your normal detector to detect radars.

Not necessarily. The media have brought this up about 6 times since I bought my first radar detector some 19 odd years ago. Fact is that many gov & police officers use one in their personal vehicles.

There are 5 units on the market immune to all RDDs. Granted, the V1 is not one of them, but if it did happen, you could sell your V1 on eBay (they have great resale value since VR won't ship outside the USA) and buy one of the undetectable units - not advice mind you, just stating options for those wanting to flaunt the law ;)

Would-be buyers would have to be outside Ozzie, and we're talking about a 2nd hand electronic unit from another country... not doubting there would be a market but I don't reckon it would be that lucrative. Also, if detectors were banned Oz-wide, then eBay Australia may ban them, or maybe pressured by authorities to ban them from being listed.

[QUOTE=PRODIGY;570491]Cheers Guys,

Checked the Delonix website - a bit confusing as has prices of $699 & $799 for the V1.
As stated Valentine 1 site only $400 however looks like they don't ship to Australia. :(

Spuds, sorry for the thread hijack..:o[/QUOTE]

I was thinking of taking the plunge and maybe get my mate to get me one from Canada and ship it back to australia for me. $$456.65 USD plus getting my mate to ship it to Australia. I think if i was going to get one it will be from [B]jezzamcbezza[/B]. Like someone else posted what happens if it stuffs up ? you can't sent it back to the valentine 1 to get it fixed unless you know someone that lives in canada or US. by the time you stuff around it would have been easier to get it from here.

hay guys
does delonix have a store in Perth or is it just based over the internet?

Don't have a shop, but the office/warehouse is is O'Connor, but shortly all the distribution will be done from a fulfilment company on the East Coast.

Hey Jeremy,

Given the new Poliscan cameras are now in use, would I be better to mount the V1 horizontally again?

Personally I have found no difference in vertical or horizontal mounting for laser detection.
But I have found that mounting higher yielded better warnings.

[QUOTE=jezzamcbezza;570785]Personally I have found no difference in vertical or horizontal mounting for laser detection.

A nice dirty number plate after some off road or wet gravel action is a plus here :). A bit impractical but, unless the unit can be fitted with an external antenna?

As for Poliscan, my guess would be high up as Jezza says, maybe even to left side so as to lessen chances of blocking/ be closer to line of sight on approach?
