Default Anyone else's V1 get set off by Infiniti FX's?

I've noticed a pattern where my V1 always gets a laser reading whenever I'm near an FX. Anyone else get that or know why that is?

Do all FX's have that? So far every FX I've been around has set it off.

Not directly related, but when I lower my V1 enough to face the Navi screen (like pulling it off from the windshield and use another hand to unplug the power cord at the same time), it reads laser. So maybe somehow the Navi screen or the CD player set off the detector.

Either that or the laser guided cruise control. I get that from the some of the more recent LS430's. But I get a reading with the laser behind me (when the car is behind me), so its not just the LED tails!

Ditto...I also get it from the newer LS430s. I have also received false signals from certain roadside construction signs (the light up message boards).

this is going to sound wrong but the way i put is.. mine sets off with :

from the front: LS430s, some new GS's, MB mostly the high end ones, and weird enough some new Caddy's?

From the rear: every other GM suv with their <is it neon or led?> third brake light, FX's, QX's, z8, and a couple more i can't remember right now

I get the same thing too. I think on the V1 website there is a FAQ on it. It does make you look around when it goes off to see if you got nailed...

Yeah... that's a good point. LOL! I know that I don't have a problem with my Dad's FX... but then again, he doesn't have the Laser CC. Maybe it has something to do with a SatNav signal... who knows.

i thought nav is more of a receiving signal than emission, but i could be wrong. does the fx has anything led in front?

Nothing LED in the front. The HID's are regular bubls as are the fogs. I might have to go test out different theories at the different car dealerships.
