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 wont 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)

- 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."
