    Default Escalade and Laser cruise control?

    Weird story

    Let me first say my V1 rarely ever alerts to laser (No laser used in my area and no infinity problems fortunately).

    The other day, i was getting ready to turn the corner and all the sudden I get all these laser alerts. I know I wasn't being targeted because I was turning and clearly only going about 15 or 20 mph. Anyway, there was an Escalade coming toward me and turning left (when I was turning right) so we both converged.

    I was getting numerous laser falses on the V1. I even turned around and drove back in the original direction to make sure there wasn't a LEO shooting laser.

    Could this be laser cruise control on an escalade? I travel this route everyday and never had such an occurrence.

    I don't own an escalade but I also never heard of escalade having the laser cruise control option. I may be wrong.

    Correct the Escalade does not have an ACC option so that would not be the issue.

    Well, I glad to know we have one less vehicle with this potentially annoying feature.

    However, I still wonder what set my V1 off :roll: :roll:

    Could be possible the guy in the Cadillac put in a custom system.

    The latest top-line Escalade has LED headlamps which could set off a detector in theory.

    Unlikely. I have never seen or heard of after market cruise control using laser systems.

    Maybe the V1 caught a whiff of the LED tail lamps?
