I believe that what you are talking about is an Escort feature.
I have had a V1 since the early 1990s and upgrade it regularly. It is hardwired into the E93 and I have the remote module mounted in the ashtray. I also have an Escort 9500ci installed in the car. They are both very effective. The Escort is a bit more sensitive but gets a lot more false alarms. I tend to leave it on but muted in the city and use it only for the arrows (a great feature by the way). The Escort is better at finding laser (probably because of the front and rear sensors mounted next to the license plates). The Escort also has laser jammers and a database of red light and speed detection cameras.
The Escort was a lot more expensive and can not move from car to car. The V1, even when hardwired, can be removed and used in another vehicle. I take it with me when I travel and have used it in a number of rental cars over the years.
I don't tend to speed but the reality is that a lot of "traffic enforcement" is geared more toward revenue than safety.
