Hank,
Just wanted to share that I was also a Valentine detector devote...I own three of them. That is until I was forced to buy the Escort 9500ci in order to get something to work in my 2013 Model S. Suffice it to say that the Escort is the best detector I've ever used. I think you would be impressed with the Escot. I'll be putting a new 9500 (or what ever their newest model is) in my Model X as soon as someone more patient than I figures out a slick way to install in the X and takes time to post.
