is it in a car yet?
Hi All,
I have some news to report and need your advice. I was riding along with Jane today and for some reason or another I started getting a constant X band (10.494) alert everywhere I go and even in places I know there isn't any radar period.
I do not know what is causing this to happen. I tried holding my cellphone up to it and nothing happened. I then turned it off and it still kept alerting.
I am starting to think something is wrong somewhere here as this isn't normal and just so you know I did not have Tarzan plugged in as he is on his way back to VR for repair.
Thanks
Ace
Your going to get hammered by automatic doors in urban areas on Xband , even k band to a lesser extent.
I run mine in highway mode all the time, with xoff, super quiet, but still get the occasional kband near any Pharmacy.
But you got to be sure xband is not used in your area, before turning it off
it took me 2 months to fiqure out X band is dead within 500 mile of me, only falses are xband nowadays, with eception of a couple states and maybe som real rural areas.
being in california, I bet x is not used, maybe another Californian willl chime in

Porky786,
Here is the thing of it all I get the alert at my house and all the way into my garage and it did not do this when I first got it. My V1 never goes of on X band in my garage and I do not have those laser sensors either (garage is 25 years old). All the way down my street I get the X band and there is nothing at all.
I went down with my V1 before I sent it in today and had X enabled and got nothing.

Try the full reset, procedure in the manual very simple, hold 2 buttons and turn on power
I agree, if v1 isnt going off on x, sti shouldnt be either
i see you already sent it back

Assuming xband is on the V1, I think you have an issue , so I'd send it back too.
Just a reminder to check out my new videos!

Well I just got back from my car and for a while of turning off and on the STi I got the X band alert but then they just stopped! I powered off and on and no more X band so hopefully whatever it was is gone for good. Will report if it comes back.
