no the 8500's have verypoor quality control is what i was trying to say, one will work great and the next will pick up anything and everything. even though the V1 is approaching 10 years old it still out performs the passport IMHO. i had a passport 7500 given to me, replaced it with my V1. yes the size sucks, but i have it pretty much out of view of most people. the directional indicator is nice but not always accurate. the rear facing radar is much more accurate then the passports. also you get the cig lighter cable, the hard wire cables, the visor clip, the window clip and extra suction cups. you get thet $100 just in add ons. get the remote display(which i have) and the unit looks blank and off but works just as well .

i guess it's personal choice, but i just bought my brother his V1(i need to install it). he loves my V1, all my friends have em *shrug*
