New V1 Generation 2 FAQ

[Bloovy One]

I was using a Bushnell. I have two screenvideos, but sadly, the Gen2 video is of Advanced Logic mode so I need to look at that again. (I ran the test in A mode on both, but by the time I switched to my daily phone for screen capture, I'd forgotten to set that to A on the Gen2.)

No rear muting, generally I was not seeing anything but the front arrow either, but I think I need to get the source farther away to be sure.

And now again I've forgotten that we can't just attach videos any longer.... I'll redo my tests and get back later with better info.

How the heck do I mute an annoying k band alert when you know it is a grocery store door? I am using Savvy set at 15 mph plugged in to the OBD2 and I am using V1Driver. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am also in little “l” mode.

Make sure your mute volume is set adequately low. SAVVY mute and V1Driver (bluetooth in general) has a slight lag that could let through one or two beeps.

What about setting Savvy to 25 mph? That's pretty much the lowest speed limit and it should reduce the alerts some more.

I have it set to 15 mph because that is the speed limit on the street I live on and the local sheriffs use K Band here.

The volume was set at 9 just like the regular volume lol. User error for sure! Thank you fellas!

Since you're using V1Driver, set your Savvy to 25mph and let V1Driver drop it down to 15mph for your street or anywhere else you have a 15mph limit. That's what I do for the 15mph school zones.

I will try it out, thank you for the advice

Anyone know what a period next to the mode symbol means?

Did you enable custom frequencies?

 

[singingwhodat]

Yes sir I did, but turned them off and saved. Apparently it didn’t save, that fixed it. Thanks Vortex!

I have a remote mute switch connected to the accessory input on my V1 gen 1.
This no longer works on the V1 gen 2. Has the wiring logic changed for remote button muting on the V1 gen 2?

Had to go to office today. Got in car and fired up JBV1 and it said warning KA band off. No idea how that happens. Thank God for fail safes.

I just had an encounter with a Louisiana State Police and I am not impressed with the results at all. He was parked in a pharmacy parking lot and I was approaching. I received a Ka Band alert about 100 yards before seeing him and the signal strength never went past one bar until i passed him but then it maxed at two bars. Right when I passed him the arrows switched from the front to the side then to the rear so I know for sure that it was him alerting. Has anyone experienced anything similar? I have had some great experience with detecting at long range but encounters like this make me doubt the detector. He could have easily pulled me over but luckily I was doing exactly the speed limit on cruise control set at 50mph.

Have you had decent detections with it? If you have, I wouldn't worry about this one. If not, then more testing needs to be attempted so that you can quantify it.

I have had decent detections with it for sure. It just concerned me that I passed within 50 yards of his SUV and it didn’t go full strength.

If you see repeated issues, I'd test somehow. Otherwise it might have been a C/O gun laying on the passenger seat or only a rear antenna active, etc.
