Default Another reason to hate SUV's...
Coming home from work today my Valentine 1 kept lighting up the Laser detector. I look in front of me and it a GMC Envoy with the LED rear brake lights mounted high on the tailgate. Everytime he hits the brakes the V1 goes crazy and we are stuck in stop and go. So I get an opening and switch lanes...there goes the V1 again, I am now behind a Chevy Trailblazer (same design).

Any updates to the V1, mine is about 1 1/2 years old?

Default No updates that I know of, common prob with the V1. You can turn off the laser feature if you wish.
Basically all it does is tell you that you just got a ticket anyway.
