Have you got many false alerts and junk alerts when in the vicinity of new Audis?

I was on the road a 5:30 am last Tuesday, with nary another car on the road. I noticed a car overtaking me.... not going crazy fast... and the V1 started to ping, so I backed off the throttle a bit...

As the overtaking car got closer, the signal strength on the V1 increased and then started reporting multiple radar hit....So I dialed my speed to exactly the speed limit..

The car passed me (I now know it was an Audi A6)... as the Audi faded into the distance.. my V1 started to get quiet...

Are the active systems on the new cars effing with radar detector? The LED lights proximity sensors etc...

Or was ET messing with my mellow..
