Valentine One with new iPhone 4s

I thought I'd post my experience to see if anyone else noticed the same thing I did this AM.

I had the original iPhone 3G with ATT, and used it in my car without any problems. I bought a Valentine One a month ago, hardwired it, and was working fine until this morning. What changed this AM? I bought an iPhone 4s and switched to Verizon. I synced it with my car this AM for the first time. I started my normal drive, and noticed a couple blips on the detector, 1 bogey, one signal strength, where I never had them before. Didn't think much of it until I made a phone call and noticed a continuous beep every 4-5 seconds, with the arrow indicating a front signal. I assumed it was coming from the phone, which was sitting in the small console below the radio, so I picked it up while I was still on the phone, held it behind the radar, and the signal strength went to 4-5, with the arrow pointing to the rear. The arrows followed the phone as I moved it around.

I called Valentine One this AM, and the sales rep said he hasn't heard of this before, but transfers me to a tech, who said that Verizon uses the CDMA frequency which is a harmonic of an X band, and can falsely alert the detector. He recommended to switch to Advance Logic, as I was using the factory settings.

Has anyone else noticed this? Should I be concerned about missing a radar on this new mode?

Yes, just noticed this behavior as well. Originally thought I had a bad power cord to the V1, but have clearly isolated it to interference with the 4S. In fact if the iPhone screen is in sleep mode and I turn it on, the V1 goes bonkers very briefly. And I can duplicate it every time. Suspect there is no real fix for this...

Remove X-band detection from the V1. You can custom program this. Very few cops use X-band now anyway. It's all K, Ka and Laser, at lease in most states.

Quick Follow up- I switched over to Advanced Logic (L) mode, and haven't had any issues since.

I will give this a try - thanks.

It's the proximity sensor on the iPhone 4S (Siri activation search). The sensor is constantly checking to see if it's been held up against your face to start Siri
