The Great V1 Mystery

Im hoping im not the only one with this problem...it seems as though everytime im am either in front or behind a (oddly enough) infiniti QX35/45 my V1 slams me with a laser reading and it scares the **** out of me. This usually happens when im closer to them but last night it was pretty far aways and i didnt see a cop, next thing i know theres a QX in the other lane....MYSTERY???

they have laser sensors. i'm not sure what they were for.. i think it was to measure distance from other cars and adjust the brakes accordingly but i'm not too sure... but yea, you'll get laser falses from those and from tail lights of trail blazers and what not too...

no need to get scared if you're not speeding or doing anything that can get you a ticket

Yeah it's a pain. Infiniti, Caddy and a few others are using K or Ka band based radar. ie.. Infiniti has it ON all the damn time so yeah out of the blue, I get a huge Ka band signal on my V1

As said it's for dist reading so you don't hit the person in front. But some are used for back up crap.
