Default AR Windshield OK for Radar Detectors

Was reading his on the V1 site and am wondering if our windshields impair radar detector operation:

Be especially watchful of GM front-drive minivans (1989 to present), older Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable and Lincoln models with the optional InstaClear windshield, and the "insulated glass" option on Audi A8 models. This insulated glass is more common in Europe; BMW-3-Series models sold in Europe have it, for example.

Does the AR use insulated glass?

Default I get radar signals showing nearly full strength

while patrol cars are just becoming visible on a clear day; I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Default Insulated glass is available for C5 A6/allroad

Pilkington makes an insulated glass for the C5 A6 and allroad. And yes, it blocks radar detection and EZ Pass.

My V1 is working like a charm on the OEM (and slightly cracked) windshield.
