I mounted it on my windshield and i made sure it has a clear view but i am getting way too many false signals. Anyone know why thats happening ?

This radar detector is very sensitive and you have to disable some bands to avoid false alarms! The manufacturer made sure to cover most of the police radar bands and depedepending on were you are located, you may disable the x band and k band which interfere with the garage door openers. If you're in North America the police usually uses Ka bands. Also you have to select the city setting to avoid other false alarms. Traffic cameras and red light cameras are usualy in the x band and therefore can be ignored most of the time. Also this device can detect other people'radar detectors and with time you will learn to differentiate between the alarms. I hope this helps!

It picks up many kinds of motion sensing radar, like grocery stores and even other peoples radar detectors. Make sure your on city when in the city. It will be less sensitive. You'll probably notice it goes off at the same place daily. There is something there that is triggering it. It can be fustrating but know that it is picking up some signal and not just beeping for nothing. Also note this device can sense things that are a mile away.

It's because, it not only detects radar signals but also infrared cameras, like security cameras and stuff like that.

You would need to ask Wilson, but I think your concern may be valid. I tried this on my trailer, and I found it worked better when I mounted it on my truck. The signal seemed to be stronger when it could take advantage of the metal truck roof, rather than the aluminum trailer top. I have wondered if it would have worked better if I had mounted it in the middle of my trailer, rather than on the side. I would be interested in knowing what you find out. I have been very pleased with the unit when I have mounted it on the truck, and it may very well do just fine on the trailer, but I'm just not sure. Good Luck.

Hi there,I wish I knew why. Mine is acting the same way. Both times I've tried to use my camera I lost radio control as well. I was so freaked out by crashing it, I never thought to check the GPS signal indicator light. I got my repair parts Friday, and it's pretty windy today, but I'll be checking this out later in the week.

Sorry for not getting back to you quickly, make sure the plug is fully inserted, also the button with the camera icon on it changes the view from front, front with rear in a smaller screen, or just rear. I know the instructions aren't very clear, my camera came set up in a foreign language. Had to watch you tube video: "Review: Front & Rear HD Car Dash Cam" by Techmoan. Watch this video, it might help You,

I doubt it. I had it attached to the top of a window pointing in the right direction and it was still flaky. You want a clear shot and as high as possible. Antennaweb is extremely optimistic in my experience.

We suspect dust has either collected on the dash or on the base of the mount. We would suggest washing it with water to remove the dust. Let it dry before placing it on the dash again. Please let us know if we can assist you further. Thanks !

I think: Not very well, because of reflection and refraction in the glass. Signal will go every which way

Sounds like a defect. Get a replacement. I have had two for a long time and absolutely no problems. Be sure there is no dust covering it that may block signal and tell it that someone is near.

Make sure to clean your windshield well and wet the suction cup slightly. Mine has been on my windshield for over a year without a problem.

The tint may contribute to received signal loss. In general it will not perform as good as a directly connected antenna via a RG58 cable. On a rear window with defroster wires it will effect the SWR and contribute to Transmitted signal loss.

It's true that it interfere with the upward operation of the window. I was able to sand it a little bit to minimize the interference and I also applied a thin coat of silicone on the window channel and the ventshade channel area, this helped a lot.

You need to check if the windscreen is flat. The suction cup is really good, but it may not work properly on curve surfaces.

Sorry, haven't installed mine yet, been very sick. But please let me know when you do finf out! Mine's going on a Sportsmobile. Having trouble fing the connection to my blue sky ( on drivers side). Anyone with an answer to that question????

Good responses from other owners. Also consider whether the radio is getting the signal at all. In my case, it didn't work except on a wall facing Colorado --in my case, west -- and had a nearby window. Now it updates consistently withno problems. If I have it in any other location, it does't receive the signal and doesn't update.

I haven't noticed this. I find that taillight to be the best I have ever used. Drivers tell me they can see me from well over half a mile away.

my version goes to snow, there's a few different models of this that goes to black, or blue screen on signal loss. all look the same from the outside so it's a crap shoot on what version of it you get.

I have mine hanging on the wall next to my TV stand. When I first got it I had it laying on top of the stand. I haven't had too much trouble getting signals. I have a couple stations that pixelate but they did that when I tried the window too so the tower for those stations probably is too far away or something.
