    Ok ive got this V1 that im driving around with as some of you might know, lately its been Laser falsing off its a$$........... nothing in sight, I think its getting triggered by the sunlight bouncing off cars............... thoughts???????, I say its good to be sensitive, but theres a point where it has to stop

    same thing with mine before i returned it. it would be okay in the sun, maybe a couple falses from taillights from a bus, etc. at night, it would false a lot, from practically every other car in front of me, even from traffic lights!

    just send it in to VR, the laser sensors are probably out of tune.

    Default stupid technology

    It could be all those stupid cars and SUV with little avoidance sensors. Mine goes off everytime behind Chevy Trailblazers and Tahoe, plus all the Inifinitis and Lexus. And the remote on my Sirius Radio

    You have to take the good with the bad. You either detect laser almost all of the time from almost every distance with the V1 or you don't get alerted to laser every time with every laser gun with all the other detectors.

    Yeah, depending on where I mounted my V1, I'd get about 2 laser alerts a day if I happened to find it a must to drive through the city... outside the city I would get normally 2 a week.

    It got to the point that where even if I did get an alert on laser, I wouldn't slow down as needed because I was so used to them.

    When I mounted my V1 in the tint band though, it obviously cut all those falses down to one a week... if that, but then again it would hurt my sensativity to real police LIDAR use... not as that would matter much without a jammer anyways.

    That's one thing I was worried about when I installed mine was the remote setting off laser on my Whistler Pro-73. Thankfully it doesn't.

    But to me that is bad to have too many falses like that though as AirMoore said you'll end up just ignoring them when it could possibly be real laser or even laser scatter that could save you :?

    Default few

    one a couple of times over the years my V-1 falsed in the sunlight (after going through car wash or washing my windshield with my washer fluid and then going out in the sun.

    a few other times with the new Lexus SUZV's with their laser-guided technology crap.
