Random Laser Rear Alerts

[djrams80]

Some have said that their GPS navigation screens can cause laser alerts.

That was my guess, some LCD screen in the car.

I don't have any LCD screens in the car.

Do you have a non-factory car stereo? Some car stereo manufacturers the brightness of their car stereo illumation by frequency modulating the displays. This can cause the rear laser sensor on RDs to continuously or nearly continuously go off like what you are describing. Some car manufacturers do the same thing with the illumination for their dash lighting too. Oh yeah, on any cell phone, make sure that any built-in IR connectivity is turned off.

Why don't you try this, since you getting allot of rear false laser alerts, put a piece of electrical tape over the rear laser sensor. This way you will know if something is wrong with the detector if it still alerts(then you can just send it for repair), if the alerts stop then you should remove the tape and continue to look for the external source of the falses.

That's a good idea. Where's the rear laser sensor on the device?
Thanks

Look for the glowing circular red light in this picture.

Here's what it looks like on the inside.

That is one sexy circuit board.

Also I think that is platinum on the board, unlike belscort that uses gold. I think they use platinum because it's the most noble metal available.

Not according to MEM-TEK.

The V1's LO boards appear to be either solder plated or possibly 10 carat white gold plated boards with copper underlays whereas Bel, Escort and Whistler use 24 caret gold plated LO board designs to prevent the possibility of corrosion from reducing performance over time.
