V1 Owners - Constant K Band Interference?

Hey, you V1 owners. I recently installed my trusty V1 in my 535 and I took it on a long trip this weekend. During the trip, I experienced almost constant (but not constant) V1 K Band alerts.

My car has self-park, park distance control and blind spot monitoring. I turned off blind spot monitoring but it didn't seem to make any difference.

Anyone else experience this? I know it's a known issue with Audi Side Assist but haven't heard of anything with regard to the F10.

Thanks!

My V1 works fine, but my 535 doesn't have self park or the other options you mentioned.

I have 535i and V1 with no issues myself. I only have PDC of the options you list... no self park or lane departure warning.

Just out of curiosity, do you have the adaptive cruise control and were you using that when the V1 false alarmed? That system uses radar instead of sonar.

Diver assist packages cause the constant alerts. I had disable POP on my V1. Search for Valentine One forums and radar detector dot net

Note though that disabling POP also kills K band

My V1 does not have the ability to disable POP. Not sure why.

Your V1 probably is the older version without POP capability
