    It's probably rare but an odd random reflection coinciding with a parking-sensor pulse could cause a "bip".

    Maybe a future firmware version could turn off parking assist when over a certain speed if a GPS module is connected. It's not like you need park assist while cruising down the freeway.
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    This is already available if you have the RG Module and the GPS antenna.

    Low reflective road signs near to the road edge such as in traffic islands do this to mine, although the rears are angles out for Poliscan, and parking's set to 4 on mine. It seems to be more sensitive to reflective cars in front at the lights with white or silver or metallic cars being the worst

    Have you ever been on the Long Island Expressway at rush hour?

    Do you have it in silent start-up mode? Do you have it in dark or dim mode? You will get a double blip when the unit changes from parking (green) to defense (blue) mode.

    The reason I ask is if you lose power momentarily, do not see the controller light change color, when it goes to defense mode after restart you might hear the blip/blip and not realize it had lost power. Unless you have it in the new quick start mode it will not beep until after 1 minute of starting.

    Just a thought.....trying to rule things out.

    It is silent start up and in normal intensity for the led.

    I will check tomorrow if it could be a momentarily loss of power , as i noticed it happens more often after
    a hard acceleration , my supply wiring is not finalised yet so a box could push the wiring.
    My install is unusal : cpu is under rear seat and the connections 12v is in the trunk ,
    ''on'' is done via a remote controlled relay.

    Thanks.
