I got my V1 like a month ago and every once in a while it'll go K band crazy. I'll be driving and it'll alert K 1/8 front and sometimes back, then it'll go away and a couple seconds later it'll do the same thing. It does it in city,highway and out in the middle of no where. It even does it when car is in garage. I was driving to work yesterday and it did it the whole way I was *BEEP* mad and getting ready to throw it out the window. So is it broken or is it normal.
If the arrows move when it does it... IE: front-to-side-to-rear it isprobably something causing the V1 to do it...
But honestly what your describing sounds like it is a malfunctioning V1, with random spurts. To front, to rear... the whole way to work (which I have to assume is an overstatement). I would have to call that behavoir not normale (Call up VR and speak with their Tech department... I would suggest request for Mike if you can)... I had problems with mine, and promptly sent it back after talking with the tech deparment... it appears he took complete care of all my issues. I just had to eat a shipping charge back to them.

Sounds like maybe you got a bad one man.... :(

Call V1, and ask them. They'll probably have you send it in, and check it out.. you pay shipping to them, they ship it back free, same method you used.. you've got a 1 year warranty on it, so might as well ask em?

If it stays constant like you say when pop is on and then goes quite with pop off I would think something is wrong! True POP on may give you a few more falses but not like you are getting--Dont worry V-1 will make it right and you happy
Perhaps something in your car is causing it?
Hook the V1 up and move it around in your car and see if the signal changes.
Thank You Very Much!Quote:

The sensor stays on at all times it does not turn on or off when alarm does it's ment to stay on all the time. I guess the Prox Sensor uses some kind of radar to detect motion. LOL this sucks it's like having a stupid Cobra pluged in next to the V1. So I need a solution I dont want to get rid of sensor because I payed a pretty penny for it with alarm. Has this happen to anyone before?

HAHA thats funny....uh I mean I am sorry about that but have a bit of humor thats funny right there I dont care who your are thats funny!!!
Yeah it uses radar technology like door openers, your only real sultion is to get rid of it, or disconect and reconect it everytime you get in your car!!
I cant see any way around that.
