probably just electrical interference from the pump motor, try relocate your laser detector...

same issue here. had non-x50, then the x50, same problem. i don't want to relocate it though - too used to where it is. i just turned off the laser band on it.

It may be a light reflection getting back to the sensor. I have a big bathroom mirror in my garage facing my car and if I turn my lights on while backing out it will set my V1's laser detection off.
