Varia V3.40 The radar detection distance becomes shorter and dull

Not sure what you mean by 'dull' but yes, I've noticed shorter detection distance as well. I've also noticed that it fails to detect slower moving vehicles more often than it did on 3.0 and that it does not do as good of a job at detecting multiple vehicles..

I wonder if there is a way to revert back to 3.0 which was rock solid for me for the most part..

I'm going to ahead and call this update a FAIL!

My experience has been no degradation in Varia performance with V3.4. In fact, vehicle distance detection capability is slightly better and no loss in multiple vehicles detection. Bottom line-slightly better performance with V3.4.

I might add above data was obtained over a measured level test site that I have used to test previous versions integrated with a Edge 520.

Mine is terrible! I've put over 1400 miles on the road with my unit since I got it and this update is terrible!

Real world use is all that matters.................................

Anyone know how to revert back to 3.0?

This problem began to appear before v2.20 detect unresponsive to shorten the distance,
Until v3.40 is still the same,

Only v2.0 can detect the distance to 140m best.

3.0 was almost perfect for me.. Also re: 3.4 I had a radar disconnect today and I've never had that before. The 3.4 update is garbage! If anyone has not update to it yet, DON'T..

Thanks for the download link. I'll install 3.0 back on and wait for the next update from Garmin..

Hi,

Sorry for my ignorance could but would appreciate if you could explain in a bit more detail how you revert back to ver 3.0 ?

Thanks

1. Download the file he linked to
2. Rename it to GUPDATE.GCD
3. Connect radar tail light to computer
4. Drag and drop GUPDATE.GCD to the Garmin Folder
5. Eject radar tail light from computer
6. Power on the radar tail light and it will install version 3.0
7. Done! You are now back on 3.0

I reverted last night and confirmed that I am back on 3.0 (yay)

34 miles today on version 3.0 and I am back being happy....
