Does the v1 false to laser sources much when you use it ? I seriously couldn't stand a detector that constantly goes off to false laser sources.
Just wondering :)

About once every couple of days for me, and it is usually a Volvo. I am happy knowing my V1 is sensitive enough to pick them up, unlike my previous detectors.
ya, that's the excuse I always hear. ;)Quote:

thanks for the reply though
It's not falsing, it's picking up actual laser signals. I see it all the time. Mostly Infinitis and hi-end Toyotas in my local area.
Now, the Escort 8500 units I have do "false" when the sunlight hits them a certain way. I've never had the V1 do this, evar.
well it's still considered falsing but I know what you mean. ;)Quote:

Oh, I am sure it is but I have had scatter laser pick up with other detectors too.Quote:

I will have to think about this :)
with all that v1 is finally doing with their user adjustable RD band sweeps I DEMAND a user adjustable laser sweep !
Next time one of you guys upgrades your V1 can you hound Mike v about doing this ? ;)

Or just get laser interceptors and turn off laser on the V1...
Not a bad idea whatsoever ! :DQuote:

When my laser goes off there's a Infiniti qx56 suv around. Good thing it hardly happens them trucks cost mega bucks
New V1 user here...got mine about three weeks ago, I noticed this on the first day and don't like it. My old 8500 X50 never gave me a laser false, never in 5 years of ownership. +1 on getting a setting to decrease laser sensitivity.Quote:

that the problem I fear. Neon sign ! I don't like that. ;(Quote:

Havent really heard of v1 falsing alot...I have a bel pro300 and like all the bels from 2005(995v, rx65) all falsed laser constant...I had to shut it off and just roll with my Li's jammers:)).
What i would do is put your v1 in another car(if not hardwired already) and go by the sign or a known place where your v1 falses and see in another car if falsing. If not, it could be your car from alternater noise to amplifiers in your stereo. (these were all told by bel when i had my issues....i wound up just shutting laser off, after all w/out a jammer your toast anyways..) Contact cliff and hell hook you up with Li's.
Or we can lobby to have the manufactures make 3rd brake lights and their adaptive cruise control to use a different wavelength.
hahahahaha yeah that'll happen...Quote:

My V1 is very consistent, alerts to Infiniti's, Volvo's and a wet windshield on a sunny day. Does a great job of alerting to LEO's, luckily at speeds that did not draw attention. Thank you WAZE!Quote:
