And GM SUV brake lights set off my V1 laser alert when I am behind them at stop signs/lights.
Yep, the Infiniti SUVs have the adaptive cruise, but I'm about 95% sure that the damn laser bursts happen even if the cruise isn't set, just on. Yep, I get the laser from GM SUV high mount stops too.

But some of the other vehicles that have set if off while behind me (not laser, but some of the other RF bands) have been old clunkers and 80's and 90's regular old cars. Not cars with adaptive cruise. I'm pretty sure it's been other radar detectors.

I know that they sometime Xmit because I work for a company that provides satellite communications and we had a guy once park in a bad spot with hit radar detector that caused interference with one of our dishes.
