Nope.  Only problem I've had with it is with the laser warning- it
tended to get freaked out by sunlight when you did the wishy-wash,
and at one point, it would throw a laser alarm whenever my hand
reached up to hit the mute button(it has since stopped doing both.)
Certain LED brake light bars give it conniptions because they're
pulsed...and some LED roadsigns, if I pass very close to them(not
nearly as big a problem.)

Cost is $190 to upgrade to the very latest, which means a tradein
value of about  $210.  50% after 5-6 years ain't bad, I'd say.  My
200q20v has depreciated more :-)
