* Info on the Bel warranty issue ...
Based on the reviews here about the Beltronics warranty issues, I called Beltronics just now and asked them "what it would cost to have an out-of-warranty 965 repaired".
Answer: $59.95 (which includes return shipping).
Next question: "If I buy a second one for my wife's car from amazon, is is covered under warranty as being purchased from an 'authorized reseller'?"
Answer: Well, you have to watch out for resellers who sell through amazon, they get detectors from store closeouts and such...
I said, "No, I mean if I buy from amazon itself. Is it covered?"
Answer: Yes, amazon itself is an authorized reseller, and you'll be covered.
I don't know if the company rep was blowing smoke, but that's what he said. If he was truthful, then the detectors that Bel wouldn't cover under warranty were bought from an independent seller doing business through amazon, NOT amazon itself.

Awesome Radar detector! Vector 965 just as sensitive as Rx65!!
Bought this detector after reading the Consumers reviews. Placed near top in All categories. Not disappointed in the least and would highly recommend!! Pay no attention to the ones giving it bad reviews, this baby really saved me numerous times.

* Detectors okay - Service is is the worst around ...
The detector had been in use less then 6 months when it died. Sent it back for warranty repair (1 year warranty) and they indicated it was out of warranty because I bought it from an un-authorized dealer. Yet they do not list who is authorized to sell it. If you purchase one you better make sure they are authorized to sell it or you will get no support from Beltronics. They leave it up to the consumer to take on this risk. It would be one thing if they had a list of resellers on their web site, but they don't. They want you to call them to find out if the reseller it authorized before you purchase. I have never dealt with a company like this. They indicated that they did not know how the un-authorized sellers are getting the products so it becomes a customer issues (they did confirm the unit I shipped them was a real Beltronics detector).
There are other detectors out there that are as good or better. I would not purchase another one from them.

not impressed
I owned 2 Bels before this one. The new mounting system stinks. Previously just snapped on, now I have to pay attention and sometimes use both hands to mount it when I'm driving. Have to push down a button to lock it in and adjust forward/back at the same time. Wouldn't have bought it had I known. Regrets.

* as good or better than the v995 ...
after weeks of researching radar detectors i decided beltronics makes one of the best products on the market today .now i could not pick between the vector 965 or the vector 995. so i researched them two models for range and options.after finding out from beltronics the rx65, vector 965, vector 995 they all have the same basic electronics incased in them, they all have 10x range over other detectors.only difference in them is features.so i went with the vector 965, i figured some of the features it lacks ,i don't need any way and save some money. i've had it now 3 weeks and wow. if you want a top of the line detector that will reach out and find smokey ,this is it. it flat kicks a**.it does the job just fine, my friend has a 995 and it out performed it in a range test,we did on them, not by much just a few feet, but it did.but either one are great, you won't be disapointed in it.
