DS1 Companion vs V1Driver Usage & Stats

DS1 Companion™ is a feature rich app, designed to give you the most out of your DS1 radar detector, while enhancing your driving experience along the way. Featuring intelligent alerts and advanced muting! DS1 Companion™ is the COMPLETE solution to enjoying your DS1. **** NOTE *** Make sure to upgrade your DS1's firmware to version 1.18. Previous versions prior to 1.15 will not keep the detector muted after you mute it. The DS1 Companion™ app leverages years of optimizations and features from V1 Companion™ (Available separately on the app store for owners of the Valentine One radar locator). Building on this legacy, the DS1 companion app adds new systems to support Radenso's detector's unique abilities and features. Enhanced GPS location based 'false muting' via SpotLocks™ - All future updates to this app are free to purchasers of DS1 Companion™ DS1 Companion™'s alerting and muting systems are fully optimized for the DS1 platform. Intelligent voice announcements and on-screen visuals will always keep you informed and aware of the situation around you. NOTE: DS1 Companion™ requires a Radenso DS1 radar detector with firmware 118 to function correctly. DS1 Companion™ full feature list: • SpotLocks™ - Location based false silencing has never been this good or easy. Turn on the intelligent location-based learning and let DS1 Companion™ do the rest. Or you can manually 'lock' or 'unlock' locations with ease from the main alert screen. • Works seamlessly with the DS1's auto mute memory, manual mute memory, k-block, and K X Low Speed built in muting. • Ability to set the DS1’s internal detector settings (more coming in free future upgrades). *Req US Version 1.15 firmware.

The HUD is color coded between real threats & false signals. • HUD of the secondary alerts' bands, signal strengths, frequencies, & bogey counts. • Advanced BSM/CAS/Ka False Muting (Optimized for the DS1 platform). • 'Ghost' muting quiets false alerts when you are stuck traveling near a false emitting vehicle. • "Passive Mute™"- Quiets the DS1 below user set speeds & during weak K & X signals. • Bogey count display showing total number of threats. • Vehicle speed (MPH or KMH) display. Speed is color coded for each alert type. • Mute status with the ability to manually mute/unmute alerts as you need. • Detailed & intelligent voice announcements of band, frequency, strength, number of alerts, occurrences of mixed signals and more. • Automatic muting of Ka, K, and X bands ('Time before mute' set for each band). • 'Reduce Speed' notification for user set speed. • ‘Urgency Alerts™’ - Unmutes growing threats & announces these alerts via voice & notifications. • ‘Alert History’ - View your past alerts with detailed information about each encounter. • Compass heading. • Imperial/metric units (mph/kmh). • Detailed trip summary at the end of your ride including duration, distance, alerts, muting stats and more. • Automatic and seamless connection via Bluetooth even while the app is in the background. • iPhone & Apple Watch notifications of band, & frequency of each alert. • Help system.

V1Driver

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."
