Now featuring optimized filtering for each V1 platform, giving you:
• Advanced muting for your V1 Gen1 radar detector.
• Complimentary muting for your V1 Gen2 radar detector.
V1 Companion™'s muting systems have now been optimized specifically for each V1 platform. If you have a V1 Gen1 detector, new muting routines will give you some of the benefits of the advanced filtering seen from the next gen detectors available today. These new filters will mute unwanted signals, giving you a much quieter ride while still enjoying your legacy detector.
