When V1 is mounted anywhere near the mirror it gets the false alarms presumably from reflected laser within the glass. When mount it near the A-pillars there is no false alarm (or about 1 foot away from the mirror to the left or right), just not an ideal mounting location. Maybe this helps?
This helps a lot. What year is your car? Thanks!
