K40 Launches Radar Detectors With New Anti-Falsing Technology
November 25, 2015
K40 launched new anti-false alert technology to be found in two new portable radar detectors shipping this week.
The new K-Band Filter technology rejects alerts due to radar-based safety systems found in other cars or even your own car. Such radar-based systems that can cause false alerts include Audi’s Collision Avoidance, BMW’s Blind Spot Detection, and Mercedes-Benz’s Distronic Plus.
The feature is offered in the RD950 and RLS2.
The RLS2 expands on K40’s current RL Series and adds GPS-enabled capabilities such as the ability to silence alerts at low speeds. It also lets you mark locations to alert you to slow down, such as school zones. It has a new button layout for easier settings and a red dot matrix display with an mph/kph speed readout.
The RD950 is similar but it excludes GPS.
