Does anyone know if having the power rear sunshade up interfere with the rear sensor detecting capabilities of the Valentine One??

Thanks in advance!

I've had the shade on my last three 5-series cars, I always have the shade up, and the V1 seems to work just fine. As a matter of fact, the best test is to see the arrows change from front, to side, to back as you pass a radar source and mine does so quite well...

I concur with that. In fact, when my wife puts down her front shade it works fine enen though it is blocked.
