Default Radar detector interference

Anyone have issues with the side assist or parking sensors setting off their radar detector? I have a Valentine1 and it seems to be going off all the time for no reason?

My escort will go off by other Audi's side assist, not my own, unless I am in the garage and it's confined.

Well known issue. Turning off POP will definitely stop the V1 from falsing to K-band blind spot warning...

Turn off POP for sure. That should help the V1 reject more FM-CW/pulsed signals than the stock settings (which tend to be overly paranoid).

If that doesn't do it, you should send in your V1 for the 3.892/3.893 update that adds traffic sensor rejection. This mode is even more aggressive filtering out K-band false sources.
