Things that give false laser alerts
I just installed my blinder and today got a false alert, it had to be false because I was in slow moving traffic there was no way a LEO was looking for speeders.
I have read where some vehicles cause this.
I created this thread as a reference for me and others in the future.
Please post what vehicles/situations etc. give you a false laser alert/jam, include what system you are using.
Thanks in advance
Steve
EDIT:
I found this in another thread:
"every time i get a laser alert a look for an Infiniti ...also the third tail light of GMc/chevy SUV's i think"
"In addition to the above post it'll also go off for every Infinit FX35 and QX56 equipped with laser guided headlights."
Re: Things that give false laser alerts
Additionally:
-- Lidar wind shear systems at airports.
-- Some really high frequency comm systems (way above Ka band) at military bases and airports have short enough wavelengths which can sneak past the RF shielding in the laser detection circuitry in radar detectors and laser jammers, causing falses.
-- Some neon signs.
-- Electrical noise in your car's wiring.
-- Flaky power and/or ground connections for a radar detector which is falsing on laser, or for a jammer which is falsing on laser.

Neon brake lights. Laser cruise with Infinity.

Porshe Cayenne 1,5m from my rear bumber. I think it were his xenon headlights - 9500ci successfully jammed them :lol:

You jammed a headlight??So what, the lights shut off?I love it!!!
Actually I have had my V1 alert laser when I first turn on my Xenon headlights. If I turn the lights on before the V1 this does not happen. And it only happens if the V1 can see a direct reflection of the headlights during power on.
Re: Things that give false laser alerts
I've had the laser alert on my V1 triggered by an Infinity FX (not sure if it was the 35 or the 45 cause he was behind me). Also when going through certain EzPass toll booths I'll get a laser alert on the V1. I've only had those LED tail lights like on newer GM trucks set off the laser alert once though...
Re: Things that give false laser alerts
yeah on the Xenon HIDs, I started up the car and the BMW in front of me did the same, the second his lights go on, the ZR4 went crazy
Re: Things that give false laser alerts
some overhead signs on the highways give them, some E-Z passes as well
Re: Things that give false laser alerts
I almost forgot, my aftermarket (panasonic) video screen will if my V1 can see it. V1 will do that at day or night, X50 only at night very close. The V1 is very sensitive to laser, X50 not so much. I have heard a few people need to mount the V1 low to the dash because the video screen in the prius is in the middle of the dash and visible to V1 if mounted high.

I'm not sure what exactly happens, but they were jammed as hell. Definitely. Without fail. No doubt. :D
