that is like the only flaw i noticed on my V1's. i run 2 units and both trigger laser detection when passing by face to face with those trucks.
I agree, the only true flaw with a V1. Also happens with certain GM's like the Bravada and Envoy. Other than that it's practically perfect. That's the reason they don't go messing with it. But they should fix this for sure.

People who are still discussing range these days are out of touch. The V1 set at it's lowest setting (the small L) is plenty, and removes most of the false alarms. I never ever change those settings. You don't need 2 miles of range, that's ridiculous.

I'm sure the Passport is great too in terms of performance, no doubting that. I have 3 friends who have it an love it. I think the GPS thing is most useful for camera guns like they have in California, but we don't have those in Ohio (yet). I for one just don't like "ergonomics" of it. Shape, buttons, window mount, volume, mute....etc etc, it is a total pain in comparison. I find almost everything about the ergonomics backwards, and it's loaded with features that are mostly useless.

Save your money.... If its a laser you are done before the detector even goes off.. Ask me how I know...
This is absolutely positively NOT true. You might have gotten busted, but you don't know how to use your radar detector to keep from getting busted. I get lasered all the time here in Ohio and I have only gotten busted once by it. My V1 just saved me twice last week from laser, once on I-75 and the other locally by my house. Laser is NOT the end of all of detectors.

Now airplane patrol is another story.
