    You don't turn it off before removing it from the mount?

    I think there is something about LCD displays that sets off the laser detection, so if you have a GPS unit it might be setting off the laser detection on the RedLine when it "sees" the screen.

    Exactly. And LCD displays on the instrument panel can cause the same thing to happen.
