Don't leave home without it!!! Just remember to set POP to on as factory default is off.

I tried the POP on mode, but mine falsed way too often... kinda like the lazer, when it goes off it is screamming. And then there were no police anywhere to be found. So turned it back off since not many police are even using it, at least that is what I heard. My heart could not take all the alerts for nothing. YMMV

Apparently the laser "bug" (which I experience occasionally as well) is actually a bug. You can send your escort back to escort and they will recalibrate the laser sensing to correct the issue.

Actually, I can live with the laser falses, they are pretty rare. But man that pop mode would go off 3-4 times on my 28 mile commute, thanks for the info.
