been out of the game for a bit now, had my old sti stolen and never replaced it. Ive recently bought a 2009 a4, and i was reading that people are having problems with false k band using V1 because of side assist. Im looking at a redline or stir, will either of the 2 false alarm? Its good to be back, Jammers are also on the list, LPP work?
If a detector is working properly, then they should alert to the k band signal if it gets reflected back to the detector.
well that sucks big time...Quote:

Anyone driving a new audi or benz with this system have problems? People with v1 versions earlier then the first version to have pop, have no problems.
Next time, don't buy a car with all the stupid "assist" features... they are optional equipment, so get a 2009 A4 that doesn't come with them.
I bet you can pull a fuse and disable that "feature" if you want to use an RD. Or have the dealership disconnect it. I bet they get complaints from RD users that their RDs go off non-stop.
I run a 9500ix, and whenever im passing an audi/bmw/merc/ whatever with this tech i have problems... ill pick em up if they're 100-200yrds behind me sometimes.Quote:

Well that's really to bad, guess I'll just have to invest in some good jammers then.
Definitely go with an LI.Quote:

Ha ha, sorry boys the questions keep coming. What if I got the 9500ci, I know it has the gps and truelock, would it be able to cancel out the false k band from my car.
Aslo, has anyone seen the new Volvo auto stop feature, says it uses radar signals to stop the car.
I doubt that truelock would be able to lock out the lane assist radar falses because the truelock feature works via GPS, and well, the lane assist falses might happen wherever you go therefore not being able to be locked out.Quote:

POP on POP off makes no difference.

thanks guys, looks like my best option is the redline with k band off, mostly ka around here. Now just a sneaky install awaits.
