Same. Usually newer Acura and Audi SUVs as well as Caddys.

Yep, I get this with my Beltronics Pro 200 detector. I hate when I get behind one of those guys and it goes crazy. My solution is a little more gas and leave that Acura behind.

Volvos and newer Mazdas set off my V1's laser alert. I've had to change my shorts a couple of times.

I have been thinking to turn that K band off, but been seeing reports there are still cops using K band where I drive. However, I have not encountered one myself.

All the K band signals my detector received have been from Acuras. My detector doesn't have issues with other car brands except Acura.

Yep, now that I really think about it, only Acura for mine as well. Guess that's not too bad considering the plethora of vehicles that give off false K band signals.

I lock out these signals with my 9500ix, so the annoyance only lasts a short time.
