**FEATURING - GPS location based 'false muting' via one of the best app systems called SpotLocks(TM)
V1 Companion(TM) is a feature rich app, designed to give you the most out of your V1 radar detector, while enhancing your driving experience along the way. Featuring intelligent alerts & advanced muting, it takes situational awareness to another level! V1 Companion(TM) is the COMPLETE solution to enjoying your V1.

A new meter, visible at the top of the main alert screen, will show a graphical representation of the probability of a police presence (Ka or Laser) in the direction of your travel. Using your personal alert data, whenever a high probability exists for an encounter ahead, you will know about it well in advance of facing the actual threat. The meter will also flash red when a Ka or Laser alert is actively being received to help draw attention to the alert. Probabilities are calculated down to the actual day of the week you are traveling, increasing the accuracy on any given day.
• Accessibility option to flash screen on alert.
• Alert display for, and identification of, Photo Radar
• One of the most intelligent 'location based lockout systems' for any iOS app featuring:
• Automatic, intelligent, location based learning / unlearning of potential false alerts.
• Discrete signal locking™ - helps prevent locking out real police radar in close frequency range to the SpotLock™ frequency.
• Frequency drift compensation™ - helps compensate for changes of the location's frequency drifting up and down over time at the saved location.
• BSM guard™ - helps to keep non-stationary vehicle BSM/CAS signals from polluting the SpotLock™ stationary location database.
• Continuous location tuning.
• Manual creation/deletion of SpotLocks™.

• V1 Companion is the only iOS app supporting the V1 Gen2's newest firmware (4.1027+) capabilities for dynamic volume control. This feature provides the most quiet ride of any iOS app when dealing with false alerts. Firmware 4.1035 adds new functionality, further enabling control over an alert's audio, bringing to reality the full vision of what 'dynamic volume control' was intended to be. Once you try this new version, you will be hooked on how quiet the detector is on false alerts, yet quickly responds to real threats. No annoying initial 'beeps' on falses, and no more missing the initial beep on real alerts!
• V3.0 introduced one of the most intelligent 'location based lockout systems' for any iOS app called SpotLocks™.

V3.18 Updates:
• Optimizations of latest gen2 firmware enhancements. Specifically timing of audio reset functionality.
• Other bug fixes & optimizations.

Other recent updates:
• Full support for the new V1 Gen2 4.1035 firmware:
• Ability to set 'Startup Sequence' ON/OFF from the app.
• Ability to set 'Resting Display' ON/OFF from the app.
• Ability to set 'BSM Plus' ON/OFF from the app.
• Supports firmware's ability to restart the detector audio when using the app's 'dynamic vol control' feature. Now, when the app unmutes a signal, you will not miss the initial audio 'beep.'
• First major update to "SpotLocks" system (location based lockouts) since its release.
• New 'Ka Sensitivity' setting. Select from Full, Original, or Relaxed sensitivity.
• 'GPS Cooldown' added to 'GPS Warmup' feature.

SpotLocks™ feature the following:
• Automatic, intelligent, location based learning / unlearning of potential false alerts (you have the ability to turn this feature on or off).
• Discrete signal locking™ - helps prevent locking out real police radar in close frequency range to the SpotLock™ frequency.
• Frequency drift compensation™ - helps compensate for changes of the location's frequency drifting up and down over time at the saved location.
• BSM guard™ - helps to keep non-stationary vehicle BSM/CAS signals from polluting the SpotLock™ stationary location database.
• Continuous location tuning - Whether a SpotLock™ is actively locked or learning, the SpotLock™ system will continue to learn and tune itself over time to better handle future encounters.

"[Other apps’] random beeps are a deal breaker. [They are] only marginally better than the gen1 with annoying weak notifications. The [V1] Companion rocks at killing unnecessary noise!" - GH 3.11.1 01/11/2024 ***V3.0 IS A MAJOR UPDATE - Includes full support for latest V1 Gen2 firmware V4.1031 features***
V3.0 introduced one of the most intelligent 'location based lockout systems' for any iOS app called SpotLocks™.
In addition, V1 Companion is the only iOS app supporting the V1 Gen2's newest firmware (4.1027+) capabilities for dynamic volume control. These features provide the most quiet ride of any iOS app when dealing with false alerts.
SpotLocks™ feature the following:
• Automatic, intelligent, location based learning / unlearning of potential false alerts (you have the ability to turn this feature on or off).
• Discrete signal locking™ - helps prevent locking out real police radar in close frequency range to the SpotLock™ frequency.
• Frequency drift compensation™ - helps compensate for changes of the location's frequency drifting up and down over time at the saved location.
• BSM guard™ - helps to keep non-stationary vehicle BSM/CAS signals from polluting the SpotLock™ stationary location database.
• Continuous location tuning - Whether a SpotLock™ is actively locked or learning, the SpotLock™ system will continue to learn and tune itself over time to better handle future encounters.
• Manual creation/deletion of SpotLocks™ - Manually create/delete SpotLocks™ by easily tapping a graphical 'lock' image on your phone screen if desired.
• The SpotLocks™ system is optimized separately for each of the V1Gen1 and V1Gen2 platforms.
• SpotLocks™ take advantage of the advanced muting ability of the V1Gen2, so all SpotLocks™ are quiet from the onset, with no annoying initial 'blip' of audio.

• 'GPS Warmup' feature that keeps the detector quiet for a 'user set' number of seconds or until a GPS connection is established with your iPhone. Useful for parking garages etc.

• Enhanced 'auto learn' functionality of SpotLocks to NOT unlock/delete Spotlocks when the associated band has been turned off in the detector's firmware.
• Better/Fixed Weak Signal Smoothing

What others are saying:
"V1 Companion Wow! ...so far it works so well and is so quiet that I was thinking the V1G2 was faulty!! It wasn't until the drive summary popped up that I realized it was obviously working hard in the background to keep my sanity intact from all of the weak K band sources." - D
