Mine doesn't do it when I turn the lights on initially, but my driver's side xenon has been going out intermittently. When I flick the lights off then on the laser indicator goes off on my V1. What is it about flicking the lights off then on that causes this? It took me a few times to figure it out....I kept wondering where these cops were hiding when nobody was around!

Nope, sounds like an electrical load problem. V1 supply voltage dip?

Default Wierd! My 8500 sometimes goes on false laser alerts for no reason

It will go off full-tilt every few minutes, or so. The next day, nothing!

Never could figure out what was causing it.

Default My 8500 shows laser alert if I turn on the headlights against the garage door or another car...

Of course the first thing I do is reach for my phone (!) I hear the laser alert so infrequently.

Default There is a post about the use of lasers on collision avoidance systems and cruse control...

I called V1 they said they were aware of it but there was nothing they could do.
