Issues with Valentine
I've had my V1 for a year now and love it. I finally got use to the laser going off from the infiniti suv's.
Now I'm noticing whenever I'm around a new audi, the V1 goes bananas. I get arrrows all over the place and the # goes upwards of 4-5-6-7. This is getting very annoying now and it screws me up if there would be a cop around since I wouldn't know. Are there any updates or ways to stop this from happening without sacrificing the radar detection?

I sent them my V1 once and I got back a totally different unit and when I put in the serial number, it said it needed an update! That ticked me off!!

unfortunately a radar signal is a radar signal to the unit.. If it's coming across as x-band, you can always disable it, but looking at your location of philly suburbs... if you drive in NJ at all (like me) I know they still use X-band, so that's not an option. I don't know about what PA does and does not use.
