I taped off the rear laser sensor on my V1 Gen 2 and it solved the falsing on the laser. If you get tagged in the rear by Laser your screwed anyway.

Yup, I have a 360 myself, and it's never acted like this in my F22.
So it IS acting up in the g80 with the 360 Max? How often does it emit the (false) laser signal?
It's very random as far as I can tell, I haven't really tried to zero in on the possible cause. It's the most recurring stretch of "Multi-radar detected" warnings I've ever had in 5 years, same detector in 2 different cars.
Vortex Radar (https://www.vortexradar.com/) has a great set of recommended settings for different detectors. You might find that MultaRadar isn't in use where you are and can be disabled. I think the sensor covered up here is an occupancy sensor. Not sure why some folk are getting laser hits though, perhaps the laser headlights. No idea on that one.
