There are a few settings you can use to ignore the ranges used by several of the manufacturers (like if a Toyota comes alongside, or a VW) but not nearly enough. Then there's a "Mark" button on the controller that you're instructed to use to set up an ignore for a given radar freq, but I 'mark' a K band, say, from a Subaru and then it chirps a couple of times after. Not a problem right? Well, if I get another make sidle up (happens non-stop in Atlanta traffic) and I hit the Mark button for that radar frequency, the system unmarks the one I just did a few seconds before. Same thing when I try to Mute the incessant K bands and X bands. The kicker is that every time I drive by a location I 'marked' something at, the system tells me "User Mark ahead", and then it makes a goofy chime noise when I hit that spot. What??? I don't gaf about all the marked locations (they system can have up to 2,000 of them). I just want you to ignore what I mark and not tell me every blessed time I'm approaching some random section of the road where I've tried to block out a Toyota blind spot detection radar freq.
For something this expensive ($6k installed), it's a nightmare. I'm going back to the guys who installed it and have them look at it because my last system worked exactly as you'd want one to, and was 1/4 the cost installed.

I can see your concerns. With all these newer cars using radar for active lane departure etc, it can be somewhat annoying. But the sheer performance with detecting Police, I'll take it. It's very simple to push the Mute button located near the shifter for me.
