Bro, have you worked out what that gadget is yet? I'm intrigued.
Ok got a few little prob's now with this Ka whatever it is in the front of my car. It's playing havoc with the V1 and the redline . What going on is it making the V1 "J" out real cops all the time! The poor redlines getting grief as well, what’s happening is the redline detects a cop for about 3 sec and just drops off the alert to nothing it will not alert even if the police car is right in front of me. The other day when it dropped the 34.7 GHz cop it displayed for a half sec 33.9 GHz which must be freq of the thing mounted up front of my car. My friends think it's some sort of jammer from Japan! I think not because they only use K band in Japan. The story and history of the car is kind of interesting. A kiwi guy who worked as a foreign exchange banker in Japan was given the car as a work Vehicle , when he decided to return to New Zealand 3 years later he was given the car! I'm going to try to contact him today to see if he knows what this thing is.
I feel that this type of device is a major problem for detector manufacture and could/can problems such as real cop "J" alerts and a sleeping redline stem from these manufactured/aftermarket devices. Send with my own eyes. Oh and I have disconnected it again I don’t care if it’s a airbag whatever nothing is going to get in the way of my V1 and now my other love the Redline.
I cant go to Nissan NZ because the car was never sold as new in this country it was only sold in Japan with the 8 speed CVT (what a nightmare when that goes wrong), they have no imformation on it. Even thou it's a Nissan they don't like imports think you know what i mean etc.

Let us know when you finally find out what the device is.
Of course you could always crack open the case and take a look inside.
Whatever it is it's pretty safe to say it has nothing to do with airbags being that close the front of the car. Airbag trigger switches are a fare way back in the crumple section of monocoque chassis and are usually a simple switch that have like a ball bearing encapsulated in a little tube and when it gets forced to the other end of the tube it creates/breaks a circuit and the bag goes off.. Adaptive cruise control or collision avoidance is the only thing that makes sense to me but you've eliminated those things. Hmmmmm very interesting. What on here would require a microwave transmitter in the grill of a car besides the before mentioned things?????
It could be and kind of looks like a leaky remote radar detector head. I'd follow the cables back and see where it goes and stick my head under the dash to see if there are any other out of place items.
