LI and V1 together=no muting of the LI voice prompts

I've sent this into Laser Interceptor and a future improvement request but have not heard anything back. I've got the LI and the V1 integrated and working flawlessly together however immediately after installing them I noticed that if I was receiving a radar alert and the LI would give me a voice alert, I was able to mute the V1's alert but the LI voice prompts kept yelling at me.

I think that if they are integrating these two devices together, they really should and need to add the feature to mute the LI's voice prompts of the V1 when you press the mute button.

I don't know how many of you have these two installed and wanted that feature but I think it's a must.

Please explain what this does when you tie the V1 to the LI, is it just a voice alert from the LI like K-band...KA band...:confused:

The LI to V1 Interface cable receives RADAR band data upon detection of RADAR from the V1, conveys that information to the LI and the LI then Alerts to these signals in the form of Voice Alerts for X, K and Ka Band. (X and K band are disabled by default when shipped) The V1 also now received it power from the LI V1 to RS232 Interface cable. The V1 Remote Display is required for this Option.

Where are these cables at for order?

Simply indicate, at the time you place your order, that you are wishing to interface your V1 with the LI and it will be provided with your order at no charge! :)

:banghead:

Mines already shipped out....nice.....didnt know this at the time....oh well

No need to bang your head against the wall. I'll get one out to you on Monday! Send me your address here in The States please.

Cliff, I have the L.I. I got from you and my V1 is integrated with my Cheetah mirror by means of the wireless kit Cheetah sells. The L.I. is stand-alone.

Should I:

A. Leave everything as is?
B. Integrate the L.I. with the Cheetah mirror using their kit?
C. Integrate the V1 with the L.I. using your kit?

I would leave the LI as a stand alone system allowing you to keep the LI LIDAR Gun ID Voice Alerts that would be lost using the Cheetah Mirror.

Cliff

So Cliff, I know that I just received my LI but have you heard anything about them adding this request? How long would it take them to do an update like this?

Honestly, I have not. There is a discussion about User's wants found on the LI User's Forum linked below. Feel free to post your request there.

Cliff

That sucks!

Just wanted to add this this really is a must. It is SO ANNOYING to have the stupid "ka band detected" going off for 15 miles at a time in pennsylvania where they use the drones on the highway with no way to mute it.

It's so bad that I can't recommend anyone purchasing the V1 and LI interface until it's fixed.

I personally like to to run both systems as standalones.

Reason why is this:

You get tagged with lidar, you shut off the device, now you've also shut off the V1 and you won't know if you're still targeted with lidar or not, or maybe now you're targeted with radar (the double trouble trap does happen) and you won't know about it......

As 2 stand alones, you shut off the LI, still got the V1 to guard from radar or let you know you're still being zapped with lidar after you slowed down.

I didn't integrate the LI and V1 together for this very reason. That voice would be annoying as hell sounding off every radar ping. the V1 does just fine telling me what's going on. And the LI scares the crap out of me when it goes off.

Doesn't version 8 now have shortened alerts - only the siren and gun/band announcement, once only? If so, no need to mute the alert.

Cliff,
Can you answer this? I have my quads in the mail (actually missed Fedex today) and am wondering if It only alerts once or continues to alert? Big deal breaker for me if I can't mute the Ka band if it plays over and over. If once, I will integrate the two and be happy as can be! (I am going to use the escort external and would love to have both my V1 and LI be LOUD to play over my radio...

The Alerts will continue as long as there is a LIDAR signal detected. :) The LI does NOT Alert to Ka Band as Ka Band is RADAR. Also, if you intend on using the external speaker provision on the LI, you cannot connect it to the speakers in your car or you will damage the LI CPU's OP-AMP which is not covered under the Warranty. You will need to use either the internal CPU speaker or use a dedicated external speaker for the LI.

Wow quick reply! I think you missunderstood me. I will interface the V1 through the LI which will utilize the external speaker. Thus giving me V1 alerts through the external speaker by way of the LI. Am I making sense? I know the LI system only alerts to the LIDAR UNLESS you have it interfaced and if I do have it interfaced with the V1 will it play "Ka Band" alert ONE time or multiple times until the signal is no longer present? Make sense?

No, the RADAR Voice Alerts cannot be muted. As such, I recommend you run the two systems separately as I do in my vehicles.

Ok gotcha but do they play over and over until the signal is terminated? Or is it as MadHatter suggested in the new version? That is, they play one time and thats it. Forget the muting option in this scenario! :) BTW thank you very much for the help I could just trial and error it but I am really currious NOW.

My pleasure!

I didn't get an answer to this question? Also I already ordered the quads from radarbusters.com, can't wait.

All V1 Interfaceable Versions are the same. The RADAR Voice Alerts play over and over till the RADAR source is gone and the LIDAR Alerts continuously till LIDAR is no longer detected.

Ok thank you very much for the information! I may try it out anyhow with X and K band (I think they are off from you guys stock) off and see how annoyed I get...
