Default V1 & a Chevy TrailBlazer

I followed a Trail Blazer off the interstate this morning. When he applied his brakes my V1 went off. This happened consistently until we parted ways. I am very sure it was his brake lights that set off the laser warning.

Default Had this happen to me a few times.

Can't remember exact vehicle(s) that made the
V1 go off, but I seem to recall they were all
GM products. Paying closer attention to these
instances now.

I have it set to Advanced Logic (big 'L'). I didn't think that affected the Laser detection though.

Default nope, just the amount of false signals because the sensitivity of the X, K and Ka is altered

The filtering gets better and better with each change in the mode. You can even tweak the unit using any of the 16 programmable settings as well.

Default That actually was the second half of the question (didn't post it though)

I wonder if any Passports will false when right behind a Trail Blazer with the brake lights on.

Did it by chance have an LED brake light?
