Why is my detector giving me false alerts?Updated 8 days ago

In today’s busy electronic world, there are numerous sources of stray microwave signals. Some of these sources are security systems, cell phone towers, and automatic door openers at supermarkets.

Most door openers at supermarkets operate right in the radar band, so they are a good way of testing your detector. You will typically get a warning when driving by.

Additionally, many modern vehicles use radar technology for various convenience and safety features, including adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and parking sensors. There are even dash cams that utilize radar technology, such as the Thinkware U3000, which may cause false alerts.

Many radar detectors offer filtering options that allow you to reduce the number of false alerts. Examples include City Mode and Mazda CX-5 BSM Filtering.
