    Default Is the ZR4 set off by Infiniti (or other) cars?

    As we all know, most Laser detectors are useless as they false constantly by Infiniti cars / SUVs or many other makes of tail-lights.

    Does anyone know if the ZR4 can filter these out?

    Will the GOL team test this in a future test?

    Although such filtering would indeed be very useful, I do think that the statement made above is rather inaccurate.

    By a similar measure, would you also say that every modern radar detector is useless?

    Similarly, if someone has painted a picture for you where you are under the impression, truly, that such falsing occurs "constantly," this is far from true.

    Even in major Metro areas (or affluent suburbs), where such vehicles (and their proximity to elicit such alerts) are common, the actual occurrence of such falses is rather rare.

    Certainly, via the posts here in this community, it may seem that this is a pervasive problem, however, in real-world practice, is truly much less of a concern than a detector (any detector), buzzing off to radar as one cruises down the local main business strip.

    I never get any falses with my m25, my rx65 occasionally alerts to laser when I pull past a bright shot of the sun but thats it.

    Since a laser jammer responds to specific pulse rates it knows about in its jammer lookup table, I doubt it will go off to a ACC system unless it was intended and designed to jam such systems.

    ^ Sadly, though, such interference does exist.

    I would imagine that some smart programming should be able to allow these jammer systems to effectively "filter out" the pulsetrain that these LIDAR-based active-safety systems are using, but so far, I don't think (with reservations, though, on the LI, as no-one has yet confirmed this) anyone's successfully implemented such.

    The LI, however, in iterations later than Version 6.14, will effectively filter-out the "parking sensor beam" of the LPP (AL unconfirmed), and eliminate that particular cross-talk, which was something that was problematic before.

    If the OEM accident avoidance and comfort systems are anything like that of the "parking beams" of our aftermarket jammers, indeed, it shouldn't be hard/long before coding revisions will enable filtering.

    I wonder if jammers with generic jamming ability, like the LI, would alert to it.

    Ide hate for to jam someones intelligent cruise control That may be unsafe lol

    At this point I'd get more pleasure out of that, then officers.

    Having logged some 30,000+ miles with my late production LI, I can speak to this.

    LI does not react to ACC, Mercedes Distronic, LCC, GM HCMSL (ala V1), Neon Signs, (also ala V1), nor any of the newer generation automotive Laser based systems (I deliberately test every 08 vehicles that comes through my other business to see) except an 08 Infinity FX45 I encountered last week. It announced it as a TrafficPatrol XR detection. I confirmed it was the FX45 but I have not been able to find another FX45 to verify this. Perhaps this was a artifact from this particular Infiniti's LCC System or perhaps the 08 Infinitis may have adapted a new LCC Architecture. I will look into this further.

    Things LI does react to (LI indicates "TrafficPatrol XR)") are the new Wind Sheer Detection Systems used at airports and the very short range (100 ft.) Automatic Speed Detection Systems (LI indicates "Unknown gun") being used here in Florida in Toll Booths, ala The Florida Turnpike (PSL through the booth is only 25 MPH).

    Hope this helps!

    Did you test what affect it had on the acc system?
