I owned this same detector 8 years ago when it was originally introduced and it was absolutely wonderful then and it's still amazing today in my eyes. Because it's a few years old it lacks in the newer features like locking out false alarms at a GPS location, or red light camera notification but it does a swell job in detecting police radar(X, K, Ka) and laser. All in all it was worth every penny to me! I'm one of those people who bought a radar detector for the purpose of saving my license by giving me a warning before it's too late. Thank you beltronics for making the Vector 985, it works like it's suppose to and it has a nice case design also!
This Beltronics v85 radar detector is excellent! It has most of the features of the higher end models and certainly does'nt lack in sensitivity or selectivity. I especially like the selectable features, and I turn off x band,(your choice!) and use K & Ka bands, which along with laser is almost exclusively used for speeding detection here in the united states. I recently tested it on a 600 mile trip and although I was not speeding, it detected 4 different highway patrol k radar bands, well before the officer's car was in sight. Also in construction zones, where your oncoming speed is displayed on a digital readout sign, the detector warned of these signs well before I could see them, one even around a curve up ahead...great detector!
This radar detector is great up grade from my bel 870 this unit has lots of range wow !!! picks k and ka band right about 2.5 miles away !!! X band can be turned off with this unit and autoscan I haven't use yet will try one of these days ... Lcd screen is good on full bright even in the sun but direct sunlight will blurr it out a bit ... Speaker is load and clear ... bel and passport is now the same company now and back in the day the enginerr from passport branched out and started bel so I know bel radars will be good like passports too. I say the bel 985 is a great radar detector just my two cents Thanks
I have previously purchase 2 Beltronics Vector 985 Radar Detector and they worked perfectly fine. This last one didn't work at all. Contact the person who sold it to me but was not much of help because he couldn't even tell me what was wrong since it had not happend to him.

This is a great radar detector. In fact, it went off every single time my friends Valentine One did on a recent trip. The only shortfall is that the cord that comes with it is not very good and tends to fall apart after a couple of years of use, if left in the sun. Sometimes speakers may go out too, but that is an easy part to replace. If the price is below $90.00, don't be afraid to jump on this one.
