I started to ignore it which I knew was a major problem so I just bought a Passport Max 2. This unit is awesome. Cut the false alarms by 90%. Autolearns your route and filters out false alarms. I love the GPS speed reading ... It's how I set my cruise control since BMW's speedometers are notoriously wrong.

If the V1 and the Max had baby detector with arrows and GPS it would be nirvana but since that isn't happening, go with the Max or Max 2 IMO.

@Money2536 ... what model number did you order for the BlendMount? That is the one weakness of the Passport ... the mount sucks and rattles. The V1 mount was much better.
Did you have K and X turned off?
