Does anyone run a Valentine - 1 in their LS 460.

I just put my V-1 in my car and I am getting constant false hits for hour on end.

I have two V-1's both with the latest updates so I tried the other and it had the same results.

I have a 2011 LS 460 with GPS, no ML, no Air Suspension, and it does not have laser cruise control. I never had that problem with my RX 350.

Has anyone else had this experience and solved it ?

What band are you getting the false alarms on?

I run a V 1 in my 2012 LS460L. It has been in ther for about 3 years now. No constant false alarms. Not sure why your is doing this. May need to contact Valentine to see if they have any thoughts.

I've seen this with escort as well. If u have any external sensors make sure they're not mounted near any parking sensors or hid ballast. 2nd the above question what band is being triggered?

I have an escort (not a Valentine), which I mounted under my rear view morror. No false alarms.

Legal in the wild west? I know Ontario takes a dim view...

I think Legal in all states. Except Wash DC you cant own one. In Virginia you can own one just not use it in the state.

I think he was referring to Canada.

BC is legal as is Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Illegal everywhere else.

Every highway entrance into VA has a big sign saying RADAR DETECTORS ILLEGAL. Interpret as you see fit!

Well, commercial door openers, etc, are X-band but speed cameras are mostly K/Ka band. Do you have lots of cameras in OC (Orange County?)

I have had a Valentine V1 in my 2011 LS 460 since it was new. I’ve never had the problem that you speak of. I have set mine on Logic mode. You may want to try it. Good Luck

I drive to OC all the time to visit my parents, and I have no false alarm with my V1 in My LS 460L. That is strange! Where is your V1? Mine is on the left driver's side on the corner.

I will ocassionally get false K band signals around farming equipment. Has something to do with the sensors they use for crop harvesting or some such thing. Apparently common around trains too.
