I had a chance to confirm one of my suspicions on the increased activation of my V1 radar detector yesterday. A number of "high end" vehicles nowadays have front and rear collision avoidance systems and they are causing "alerts" with the Valentine 1. I have been watching this for some time and trying to get to a point that I can confirm that it is happening.
An Audi luxury class SUV was in the lane near me yesterday and as traffic and vehicles changed my sight-line to the Audi, I was able to watch the detectors reaction. The distance(s) were quite amazing so I have to guess there was a malfunction with this particular system on the vehicle.
Not that anything can be done about it, but it's good info to consider for those who run a "high end" detector. As we all hopefully know, there are no such thing as a "false alarm" as radar (or lidar) signals set the detector to alert mode, such alerts need to be learned and interpreted.
