    Default Problem with STI Driver again

    Acouple of years ago my rd stopped alerting to radar sources after it warmed up.
    I sent it in for warranty and everything seemed ok at first and then it did it again after an hour or more of driving.
    Sent it a second time and it worked properly again.
    No warning when it stops working, just silance.

    This weekend went up to a friends cottage 3 hours north and half way up got a k band through rolling hills and curves, no problem to solw down.

    3/4 of the way there go through a small town called norland and got pulled over for 30kms over. Not one peep till I turned it back on to drive off.
    Got a warning - thankfully I still have horse shoes up my arse.

    Anyone else have this problem?
    This is a first gen STI driver that has been sent in every winter for a check up

    It's had : New antenna, new speaker, new case, abunch of firmware updates.

    Time for a redline?

    Oh just wanted to add, I have only ever seen "service required" once since owning and it went away with a reset. Been sent in many times since.

    Hi Everyone

    Yep, I have the same problem with my STi-Driver ver A7M9. But this problem is only when I change brightness from AUTO to DIM during a ride . Then my STiDriver is blind. But after turning OFF for a 15 sek and go back ON. The problem goes off.

    Try this and answer . If it's not, try to remind what do you change during a ride if any

    I had an issue with "cold" falsing, that is, when I first turned the unit on it would false x and k band for 5 minutes until it warmed up. I sent it in 4 times and finally bel sent me a "factory tested" unit and it has been excellent since then. Have you done a factory reset yet?

    Reset didn't fix it for me.
