Subaru car alarm set off radar detector??
I have a Bel 985 radar detector that is mounted to the mini-visor above the mirror in my '02 WRX. It's hard-wired to the auto-dimming mirror harness and works well. I'm having a strange issue with it though that only happens within a minute of unlocking and starting up the car. At about 20-30 seconds of running time the detector will give a very strong K-band warning that lasts as much as 20-30 seconds and then goes silent. These symptoms do not appear after that until the next time I start the car.
A call to Bel today revealed that they've traced similar behavior to car alarms which complete their full disarming procedure a short while after the car has been started. These instances typically involve a K-band warning. Have any of you had similar symptoms from your radar detectors? Scott Buchanan e28fixer

Get a V1 mine is fine!!!! No serriously, maybe it just has something to do with the freq that the transmitter sends, who knows.
I used to have the same problem in my old Exploder, I had a Uniden (I think) and when I would honk the horn I would get a mad Laser signal, and everyond know how anoying those are. It was kinda cool to freak out my friends though. |

Neither my stock keyless entry nor my Viper 790xv would bother my Escort Passport 8500 or SR7.
