Update: The laser detector in my V1 gets tripped by bright sun and also by reflected light from car's displays as per Valentine help line. When in bright sun light the thing triggers laser very frequently. I think there must be some coating in the windshield or something. Valentines work around is to deactivate the laser detector. Not a great option, but I never see laser's being used in my area.

Also I cannot use the SAVVY adapter to power it since anything plugged in to the diagnostic port triggers the car alarm. This was an up date to BMW car alarms I guess in response to car's being stolen by cloning keys via diagnostic port. So I will be doing the 'search' for switched plus 12 and running a wire. Not yet ready to start taking the car apart to tap into something in the over head control unit.
