It's a strange problem for sure. Not sure it's the camera, as cameras only receive light, not transmit on any frequency. I would think it more likely a radar sensor, such as many GM vehicles have in bumpers for blind spot monitoring. If one of those is next to the camera, I could see that as an issue. I'm neeting a friend Friday morning who has a V1Gen2 - I'll see how it reacts in my truck.

Interesting side note - while trying to take a photo of my V1Gen1 this morning, my phone's camera auto focus triggered false alerts, both laser and radar bands! Certainly didn't expect that.

I thought of an experiment to try. What if those having problems lined the plastic camera cover with aluminum foil? It should reflect any stray radar signals away from the detector. I'm sure most of us have a roll of foil in the kitchen, and would be a cheap & easy experiment.

My sympathy on the infection! Those are never fun. Just remember, good conspiracy theorists keep the foil shiny side up!

A close friend just bought a new Traverse and had the same issues with his V1 Gen2 getting false signals from within the vehicle. He contacted Nate at Valentine directly for assistance. It turns out the culprit frequencies fall between the standard ranges in the app for blocking. Valentine was able to walk him through blocking the 2 frequencies, no dash disassembly or foil required. It worked perfectly on a recent road trip.

Absolutely! He said they were 33.750 and 35.100. Hopefully this helps anyone with other detector brands as well, who may be experiencing similar falsing.
