Default XM Interfering with Radar Detector

I installed the XM module onto my DNX-9140. The antenna is in the dash area near the location the center speaker was in. When I place my Valentine 1 on my rearview mirror mount, it always picks up 1 bogie. When I remove the mini-xm tuner module from it's "crade", the bogie dissapears within about 2 seconds. Any suggestions - I do not want to put the antenna on the outside of the vehicle.

Have you made note of which band it's detecting the "bogie" in? If it's X band then check the instructions on the V1 and just disable X band. My experience is that the only things in X band these days are automatic door openers that fire off every time you pass a shopping center!

V1's website has the information on turning off X-band warnings/etc.
