Mercedes setting off the V1?
 

More and more I drive past Mercs, especially the SUV's and I'm getting the K band going off on my V1. Anyone else notice this? How annoying.

I've been hearing about this a lot... The new mercedes set off peoples K bands because of all the fancy blind spot monitoring.. etc...

Audi is the same, the lane change assist uses k band which gets extremely annoying.
Infiniti uses laser for its auto cruise control function.

That would explain the damn laser ALWAYS going off too. FUUUUUUUUUk!

Yep, and it is going to get worse from what I have been reading.
More companies are adding lane assist or side warning systems which are going to use K band.

Hmm, my Fusion has that. I wonder what it uses

Unicorn blood

:iagree:

POP-------- OFF
X-band----- OFF
Traffic Monitor filtering-----ON
K guard (or is it Ka guard?)----- ON


This is how I run mine and I receive VERY FEW annoyances unless I am in a shopping-center.

How the heck do you program it to do all that?!

Here is how....

infiniti's set off my laser :mad:

I'm thinking about disabling the X band and laser. X band is for doors at the supermarket and by the time you get tagged with laser, it's too late anyway.

Yea Mercedes and audis have been setting off my escort 9500ci... I just acknowledge and mute... Better safe than sorry...

Haha wow I never knew this. That's interesting. :tup:

The Infiniti M and QX already have the Lane Departure Warning & Prevention that use sonars on the side. In a few months the JX will also be launched with it.

I only have Ka and L left on. Rests are quite useless.

I was thinking K and Ka on only. Laser is useless because it's too late anyway and I've seen cops recently using K around here.

I'm such an undercover police officer I didn't even know I was a cop

I am going to ask the obvious question. What does a Infiniti do when the car in front of it has a laser jammer?

The owner gives up on life because without little lights and warning sounds going off people can't drive anymore.

You mean I need to look into the mirror? I thought that was for makeup!!!

Yeah, HPD here has been putting cops around just sitting with K on, just hiding in corners or wide banking turns. Super easy for me pick them, but I know a lot of people with K off and get surprised.

I would say minimal mainly because most laser jammers people install are front (forward directional) only so coming up from behind will not cause problems. Also, I will say I never pick up on the Infiniti laser when they approach from behind, only when they are traveling in the opposite direction.

Makes me want to install them front and back to screw with these people.
