Cheetah Mute Is Annoying

[rsatmans]

I run a v1 with the speed cheetah mirror. Noticed something today when you click the v1 button to mute an alert. If the alert goes out for a few seconds and comes back in the alert stays muted. However, the mirror does not handle it this way. If you click the mute button on the mirror and the signal goes in and out it will start alerting right back. I am the only one who finds this annoying?

Hmmm... either I'm not quite understanding what you're describing, or else I haven't experienced it. I keep my Mirror always on City Mute though, so all I get is voice alerts and a very low alert from the V1 itself. I do find the "chirp chirp" at the end of the Cheetah alerts quite annoying though. They are WAY too loud. Much louder than the voice alert.

Yeah I run my volume control on the v1 itself all the way down for all alerts to go through the mirror. I do not run my cheetah mirror in city mute. So I guess this applies to non city mute.

I agree 100%. The mute button on he mirror is broken. I recently noticed this as well. If you get hit with a k band from walmart and hit the mute button on the mirror it should stay mute as long as it sees the same K band. But no the mirror seemsto cycle the alarm even after you hit mute. My guess is it loses the signal for a milisec and think the same signal is a new alert. Any Way to fix this. we can't keep hitting mute over and over again.

Ditto here with my V1. Doesn't bug me so much, but drives my gf up the wall.

I guess this just isn't a problem for me. If I'm close enough to a WalMart to pick their door openers up, I'm not going fast enough for the Cheetah to alert anyhow.

The Cheetah takes a little playing with to determine the best settings, but once you get it right, it works almost perfectly.

All I want is a 3 or 5 second delay so if i click the mute button and the signal cuts out then 2 seconds later cuts back in the darned mirror will not go crazy again.

Also I am still awaiting a sti-r interface.

Try changing the mute setting on your V1 to full mute.

Option 8, https://store.valentine1.com/lab/MikesLabRpt3.asp

That should stop the alerts on the GPSmirror for that alert duration.

Reason being, full mute is full mute, whereas with the V1 default setting, even turning down mute lever it is still audible to the Radar Detector Interface.

I can do that but I would have to start hitting the mute button on the v1 correct? This would also mute the mirror itself?

[allyoops]

That's correct.
