My V-1 is from 2005 and I have another one from 2006 or 2007.

So whatever sets off the laser alarm is something else and or the CHP when I see them out pointing laser gun at cars.
I wonder if V-1 has any kind of upgrades against the LED lights and or adaptive cruise control on other cars that maybe setting off the laser portion?

I hope they come out with a new upgrade feature for the V1 to filter out the false laser alarms. That and the filter for the false K band alarms from the road sensors would be worth the $200 upgrade cost.
