Then we both get off the E-way and on normal road same thing, until he turned into a sub-division did my V1 stop beeping? What gives? Anyone else experience this? What in the Saab 9-3 would cause this?

Thank!
Maybe the guy has radar in his Saab?

Or some other RF transmitting device that triggered Ka band detection on your V1?

I've had my V1 false for laser when I have a dirty or wet windshield. I think you end up with reflected light where the water or dirt acts like a prism sending IR to the laser detector.

I've also had the Infinity FX set it off from there headlights, they have a reddish tint to the HIDS.

I have had similar experiences on and off throughout the past three years. I once figured out that my auto-focus camera was setting it off. How about that!
