Default Valentine 1 oddities

My V1 has been acting strangely around new cars lately...

1. "Q7 Detector". Signal strength "1" on Ka band, in the direction of the Q7 at 20 feet, increasing to full strength at about 5 feet or closer.

2. G35 "laser". He was behind me, I picked up laser every 3-5 seconds (no other cars around, stopped when he passed). I am surprised it detected him, since he was behind me.

3. Infinity SUV "laser". Vehicle oncoming, laser warning every 4 seconds.

4. Brake Light Detector. I think it ws a Nissan Pathfinder, but every time they stepped on the brakes, I got a warning (don't recall if it was laser or radar).

Default Q7 has the radar side mirrors.

A lot of LED brake lights are similar frequency to that of laser. Chevy trailblazer/ GMC etc also set it off too.
