V1Driver

Published by: George Mills

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."

Interferes with Bluetooth car audio

1CompSciGuy on

United States

Cannot use this app while streaming music over Bluetooth from my phone to car stereo. Music gets choppy, songs skip seconds with silence in between.

Good app, just one suggestion

lnferno on

United States

“Allow third-party apps to reset the delay between audio beeps.” Does anyone know if/when this will be coming to V1Driver? I use my radar detector when I’m riding my motorcycle so I exclusively rely on the audio alerts. This would help a lot!

Works great

I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now and it’s been great.

Need help - not working

JB Wright on

United States

This app has great reviews and I was excited to try it out, but I’m having connection issues to my v1 gen2. I’ve reached out to their support through their website, but no one has responded. Not sure what else to do. Already paid for the app.

Must Have for V1

..OMW2FYB.. on

The V1 on its own is an amazing Radar Detector, but this app running alongside is next level. I’ve been running this combo for 4 years now and feel completely naked when I am without it. The app is totally worth the price for the customization and peace of mind it gives you; just do it!

Just….wow

There are many things in this world that are so much better because smart people have made them that way. Introducing V1. This takes a device my wife detests (…”turn that thing off”) into one that is infinitely ‘smarter, more user/passenger friendly, quieter, more ‘tinkerable’ and makes driving safer. I have been an RD user for decades, and only recently learned of this app magic. I now have an R8 so I have plenty of learning to do between it and this app but so far so good. My only concern about this app and apps like it are what happens when, in this case, George Mills, the developer, no long wants to play with his app anymore. Let’s just ignore that thought for now. This app is a miracle though.

Overall works well, some issues

BP407 on

United States

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

b w$&?!& on

United States

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

Game Changer

overpriced

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