Valentine will upgrade any of their old detectors with new software for a couple hundred bucks......I have owned one for years and it is still a great device.

In my days, Passport was the biggest name in radar detectors. Are they still around?

Its not the brakes as someone else said.
With Audi its the radar signals sent out by the lane changes assist and blind spot warnings.

If you have a Valentine One, there are steps to turn on traffic monitoring filter and mute rear k band alerts.

Does it even effect their radar/laser guns? It's not like they run detectors and finding an errant signal is a problem.

The best method of avoiding tickets is to go the speed of traffic. And it's free.
