Description
V1Driver is designed to add intelligence to your Radar Detector so you can enjoy your Drive.

V1Driver now supports the following Radar Detectors (you must have at least one)

Valentine One Gen 2
Valentine One Gen 1 (BLE Dongle Only)
Uniden R8,R4 (R9 coming soon)
Radenso DS1

It adds 3 forms of automatic muting (all selectable by Band):

1) By Speed (Savvy Emulation), if you are under the specified speed it will keep the Radar Detector muted.

2) By Time, it will AutoMute (or AutoSnooze) after a specified time. AutoSnooze tracks Blind Spot Monitor frequency

3) By GPS Location, by long term frequency tracking. This tracks hits of the same frequency in the same location spread over several days before considering it for lockout. If a signal later becomes absent it will remove the lock.

V1Driver takes the famous V1 "Arrows" to a new level by displaying the bogeys on a 2 dimensional map. So you can track relative position more accurately before waiting for the arrows to "flip" direction.

It has extensive audible options. Including Text-To-Speech of Band and Frequency. Audio can optionally use Hands Free Protocol (a phone call) on your car or motor cycle.

This app is compatible with all iPhones and iPads that support iOS 12.0 or greater that include GPS. It will work in any orientation. An active cellular connection is not required. For viewing the map or backing up to the iCloud you will need a Data connection, but that is not required for day to day operation.

iPads that do not have Cellular Chips have no GPS chip and will NOT work.

V1Driver will automatically connect to the Radar Detector in the background. This feature of watching for the Radar Detector when away from your car does not use the GPS, it uses very little battery and can be disabled if you wish.

There is no guarantee V1Driver won't lock out an undesired signal. But it should clean itself up over time if it does.

Other features include:

- Alert Notifications with "Mute", "Lock" or "Snooze" acknowledgment
- Alerts are Apple Watch compatible
- Manual Mute (with automatic unmute from other bands)
- Snooze feature (e.g. you are stuck near someones Blind Spot Monitor)
- Live Map showing learning and unlearning process as V1Driver does it's thing
- Live Alert status on the Map (strongest threat only, mirrors V1 display)
- Compatible with Hardware version of Savvy and still Band selectable
- Signal Strength meter with higher resolution than 8 fixed levels.
- Rate of Ramp Up on Main threat and each Bogey on the Bogey Map.
- iCloud Backup and Restore of your Database and Settings
- Two Level Savvy Speed Setting (Startup and Quick Override) with automatic Reset and integrated current Speed
- Extensive Data Filtering on the "Pin Map" to closer inspect what V1Driver is doing.
- Delete unwanted individual or groups of pins or any "filtered" view directly on the Map.
- View detailed information on any collected data point (Pin) from the Map
- Savvy Warmup feature to allow GPS to get good lock but keep detector quiet in false dense areas (e.g. Parking Garage)
- Integrated help on each control throughout the app.
- Savvy GPS Learning, it can learn what you set your Savvy Setting to and reapply it on your next trip to the same location.
- User Settable GPS Accuracy.
- Instant Replay that captures all events in real time all the time and can be played back at any time.
- Live Histogram of your signal strength also shown as color intensity on your route on the Map
- Support for Ku Band for European Users
- Demo mode that uses the "Instant Replay" feature that has Speed, Location, Direction and Alerts, etc. of a real encounter. It will even drop "New Pins" along the route.
- Support for "White Areas" these are designated areas like Police stations that you never want to lock out

Note: "Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."

Overall works well, some issues

Overall this is a good app and works well. However setting a network alerts minimum speed does not work - anything above 0 mph makes it no longer function. Also, if you have multiple detectors, it will only reconnect to the last one - despite having both stored. Wrote the developer on these issues and didn’t even get a courtesy response, hence the lower star rating. Maybe the one item will never work and maybe the second is by design, who knows, at least it would have been nice to be acknowledged after taking the time to send a write up and screen shots.

v1 driver vs r8 companion san antonio texas

had both. r8 was a little more user friendly at first but my R8 has been going nuts with these new ka k band traffic sensors and cameras it was learning but it kept chirping to let me know it was quieting the problem is they turn these sensors on and off depending on traffic. but v1 driver has a keep demuted feature if they become too much of a problem. but thank you v1 driver. i was about to just unplug my brand new r8 and leave it for trips out into the hill country. but it has gotten a hold of all this nonsense the city has started implementing mid december-jan 1 2024. sorry to any traveling here. but 281 is a nightmare. now. for false positives on every entry and exit ramp

overpriced

I can’t believe I seriously paid $12 for an app to tell me what frequency a radar is. Nice grift

It takes a lot to get a review from me

If you own a Valentine 1, this is a must have. Truly a remarkable app. Thank you to the developers.

R8/R4 iOS users rejoice!

This app takes your R8/R4 detector and makes it even better. Automatic GPS lockouts work far more reliably, in depth configuration for voice alerts, a genius automatic alert snoozing system for persistent alerts that drop in and out, background connect to the R8 without needing to open the app. There is even a fully map interface you can use to see all of your past alerts, GPS lockout progress, etc. the user interface is intuitive and every single thing is explained to you with a tooltip when interacting with that area of the system.

Disappointing App

With all the potential of creating an app for the V1 and especially the V1 Gen 2, to not have the ability to change settings, set custom frequencies, adjust volume is a little perplexing. Pros: It connects seamlessly, reliably, and automatically. The lock outs work pretty good, and are smarter than built in lock outs on other detectors. Has nifty auto muting features. Cons: The voice announcements don’t work well, the default speed is too slow and the adjustments are too steep. Just adjusting one point above default and the speech is too fast. In addition there is a voice announcement for a signal when the signal is dropped but immediately reacquired. We don’t need to have repeated announcements for the same signal, use a time buffer or something. ESavvy interferes with lockouts. Anytime ESavvy is actively muting, it doesn’t learn the stationary false alerts that are being detected and displayed. Manual lockouts don’t have an option to be unlearned. They are there even if the false alert is no longer valid. There is no alert log. You get pins. For what, I cannot figure out. I would think people would rather have a proper log that can be mapped versus pins that may or may not drop properly or see “duds”. You can’t change volume with it. You can’t change the settings of the detector. You can’t set custom frequencies. There are no profiles or ways to change app or detector settings based on location. Why not? I hope the app progresses as it has a lot of potential and has some great things as a foundation. I look forward to more updates.
