Defective Curb Alert
My CA mini has gone haywire. It will no longer chirp when I turn the ignition on and goes nuts about 10 minutes into my drive by chirping every few seconds. It makes me want to yank the thing out!! I've reached out to the Curb Alert folks to no avail.
Does anyone know how to get a live representative from their company on the phone??? No numbers are listed anywhere to call. I would like to save my new splitter from destruction.

I haven't had any problems with mine and I love it! However, I had a question during installation and I wanted to call somebody's Customer Support. There were four or five totally different companies listed on the invoice, packaging and instructions. None of them listed a phone number and (I think) no addresses either.
Sorry you had troubles with yours, hope you can find someone to replace the defective one you have.
Why are there so many companies listed with the package and no phone support? It gives the appearance that no one wants to responsibility when something goes wrong.

Everybody that has one, that he likes it , will tell you that you have to do the calibration the correct way. And if it doesn't work, try again .....once it locks, its dead on. I have not adjusted mine in almost a year, works every time.

Dumb I am - but I got it installed about a year ago - LOVE IT. I am scared that I will 'knock off' the unit under the car but so far it is still there. Now the little unit with the stick on tape under the dash - well it gave me some issues and finally got pissed off and used some Velcro from a previous project - that seems to keep it in place. YES - love it.

Same here. Not one problem since I installed it almost 18 months ago.

Mine has mostly worked great. There have been a couple of times it failed to sound as I approached a curb. The first time I scraped. And on bright, sunny days it sometimes false alarms when driving over white pedestrian crossing lines and the like, because IR from the sun reflects off the paint into the sensor.
I'll put up with that, but I think I'd prefer the cameras the '16 has.

similar to what my C6 one did. I adjustaed and set it a dozen times but would go off just driving down the road. Spoke to someone and adjusted it again with no results. I just turned the damn thing off, lol

I got tired of the false alerts so I put the speaker under the steering wheel. When I pull In to a parking spot, I turn on the speaker and the turn the speaker off once I park. The speaker has a slide switch on it.
