Leading evidence: 'Run into the same thing' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run into the same thing' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey guys, I have had my V1 for over 3yrs now and never this has happenend to me until today. Driving from home on the E-way as soon as this Saab 9-3 got behind me my V1 goes off, showing "Ka" warning for like 3 miles this happens. Then we both get off the E-way and on normal road same thing, until he turned into a sub-division did my V1 stop beeping? What gives? Anyone else experience this? What in the Saab 9-3 would cause this?
Thank!
Radar cruise control (distronic etc) is a possibility, but there are a lot of fancy features which can throw off radar in new cars. He could have also been running a jammer
Dallas C4S is correct. I just had to have my K40 reprogrammed. The tech said that all of the cars on the road today that have the parking assistant feature are interfering with the radar and laser detectors. And is some cases like mine with the K40 they have to be reprogrammed. My front sensor was completely inoperable.

If it's only throttle on, it's probably electromagnetic interference. You should be able to get a software update or shielding update from valentine/passport/bel. Give em a call, or stop driving that van so fast!
rain sensing wipers? onstar beacon? who knows man. There are a million possible radio-light sources on new cars that could be screwing with your radar-laser detector.
That's one of the reasons I sold my V1: too many false alerts. Even tailights of certain SUV's bring alerts on.
Weird that it should go off with the Saab behind you, though. Maybe you were following a particular car but only noticed the Saab?
I have run into the same thing with my V1. With the arrows you can usually figure out exactly which car is sending out a signal by passing cars or let them pass you. It does not happen very often, but is annoying when it does.
I've had my V1 false for laser when I have a dirty or wet windshield. I think you end up with reflected light where the water or dirt acts like a prism sending IR to the laser detector.
I've also had the Infinity FX set it off from there headlights, they have a reddish tint to the HIDS.
I have had similar experiences on and off throughout the past three years. I once figured out that my auto-focus camera was setting it off. How about that!
