Mine is:
Blue:Laser
Red: Ka
Yellow: K
Green: X

Love it... wouldn't be able to use the V1 without it...
That is a really neat upgrade to change the color of the lights, I also like what color you picked for each band,like a stop light, Red=Ka=definently cop radar, Yellow=K=might be cop radar, Green=X=probably not cop radar, great choice, and how much did it cost to have the new colors done?

Thanks! I thought those colors made sense for that same reason.

I THINK I paid about fifty bucks for the mod... but I'm not sure. It's been a while.

I been always wanting one and going to order one tomorrow. I will call them and see if they have any used once from when people return them so I can get it a bit cheaper.

I know this is stupid but there is a couple videos on youtube showing how well it goes off around laser/radar.

I did the color mod on the V1 remote display. It was my first time doing surface mount soldering so I practiced on an old dvd player remote I had sitting around. There are some tutorials on surface mount soldering at sparkfun.com.

Here's what I used:
Laser - White - Digikey#160-1737-1-ND
Ka - Blue - Digikey#350-2055-1-ND
K - Amber - Digikey#350-2051-1-ND
X - Green - Digikey#350-2054-1-ND

the arrows are extremely helpful, and help you to quickly and proficiently identify the desired object.

plus the upgradeability is a plus
