DS1 Companion
Radenso DS1 Radar Detector
Only for iPhone
$9.99
Powerful, yet simple! Quiets your DS1 using proven real-world intelligence built on 5+ years of refined radar frequency data. Set it, forget it, and drive. It just works!
DS1 Companion™ is a feature rich app, designed to give you the most out of your DS1 radar detector, while enhancing your driving experience along the way. Featuring intelligent alerts and advanced muting! DS1 Companion™ is the COMPLETE solution to enjoying your DS1.
**** NOTE ***
Make sure to upgrade your DS1's firmware to version 1.21. Previous versions prior to 1.15 will not keep the detector muted after you mute it.
The DS1 Companion™ app leverages years of optimizations and features from V1 Companion™ (Available separately on the app store for owners of the Valentine One radar locator). Building on this legacy, the DS1 companion app adds new systems to support Radenso's detector's unique abilities and features.
Enhanced GPS location based 'false muting' via SpotLocks™ - All future updates to this app are free to purchasers of DS1 Companion™
DS1 Companion™'s alerting and muting systems are fully optimized for the DS1 platform. Intelligent voice announcements and on-screen visuals will always keep you informed and aware of the situation around you.
NOTE: DS1 Companion™ requires a Radenso DS1 radar detector with firmware 121 to function correctly.
DS1 Companion™ full feature list:
• SpotLocks™ - Location based false silencing has never been this good or easy. Turn on the intelligent location-based learning and let DS1 Companion™ do the rest. Or you can manually 'lock' or 'unlock' locations with ease from the main alert screen.
• Works seamlessly with the DS1's auto mute memory, manual mute memory, k-block, and K X Low Speed built in muting.
• Ability to set the DS1’s internal detector settings (more coming in free future upgrades). *Req US Version 1.21 firmware.

more I don’t remember ever writing a review for an app in all the years owning an IOS device. This DS-1 companion app is a game changer. You have total control of all settings right on your phone. No need to fumble through all the settings on the detector itself anymore. The customization is awesome and the database of lockouts is the best! Great job, great layout and great functionality. Bravo!!

This app is awesome provides the ability to fine tune and get the false alerts down. However we need to be able to update the radar detector from this app and need the ability to rotate the screen. I like to mirror this to my truck screen and wish it wouldRotate. Updating the radar detector from the app is the main thing. Any issues with spending the $10…..just do it the app is user friendly and worth it.
Developer Response Thanks for your support. I wish the detector API supported updating, but currently it does not. If they ever add the capability, we will support it in the app.

The DS1 is a great detector in itself. This app however really helps quiet things down with false K alerts. The new update with the ability to change settings on the detector directly is fantastic.

This is the App Radenso should have built. But since they didn’t, I am very happy to have found this. Worth the modest fee. Just get it. You won’t be disappointed.

Version 1.10 New Features (Watch for another, bigger, update coming soon!):
This new version focuses on 'multiple device' Bluetooth connectivity enhancements.
***NOTE*** - If you are already paired with the detector, you will need to open the app once for each detector. New pairings take care of this, but existing pairings will need a one time connection to be remembered.
• Seamlessly switch between using different DS1s while app is in the background. A benefit for those with multiple cars with the different DS1 detectors.
• Automatic detector switching works regardless if the app is in the foreground or background, no need to bring the app to the foreground when switching devices. Just power off the connected device and the app will connect to another powered on detector.
• "Pair it, forget it and drive! It just works!"
• Support for latest detector firmware version 121.
• Fixed bug where POI alerts would turn on/off rapidly alternating between the speedometer and the POI information.
• Compiled with latest Xcode for iOS 26
• iOS 26 interface updates including Liquid Glass and other updated elements.
• New Icons for iOS 26 dark and tinted modes.
• New Formatting for trip details for iOS 26.
Previous updates:
• New and improved SpotLock 2.0 and Advanced False Assist 3.0. Both data driven systems have been updated using 4 years of historical data. This takes your detector to a whole new level of quietness and safety against real threats.
• 4 new mute types added to alert history log:
"User DS1" for when the user presses the physical mute button.
"Latch" for to support Radenso's latch mute for when the detector is muted and the signal goes away and then re-occurs within a short period.
"User app" for when a user mutes the detector by taping on the phone screen during an active alert.
"Ka, K, X Timer" for when the detector is muted after the user's set amount of time.
Also features:
• DS1 settings screen to modify some of the more popular DS1 settings (more to come in future updates). The list of settings that can be modified are as follows:
• Frequency ON/OFF
• K NOTCH OFF/ON/Weak/Block
• Idle Display Scan/Time/Smart Dark/Dark/Speed
• Sub Display OFF/Speed/Compass/Speed & Compass/Altitude
• Laser ON/OFF
• X Band ON/OFF
• K Band ON/OFF
• K Pop ON/OFF
• K Filter ON/OFF
• K Scans (Narrow, Wide, NZ Narrow)
• TSR ON/OFF

• Select Priority Band
• Auto Lockout ON/OFF
• Select Auto Lockout Bands
***TIP: Setting the main volume for the detector to 0 on the main alert screen and enabling the detector alert tones, will eliminate the brief audio "blips" you would normally hear when a mute command is first sent to the detector. Only potential threats will then trigger audio through your speaker or audio system providing an extremely quiet ride.
This is what people are saying after using DS1 Companion™ - See what all the fuss is about, try it for yourself!
"A Radar Detector miracle"
"This is really incredible. I bought my DS1 a couple years ago, as a placeholder for Theia. Anyway…I never even bothered to update the DS1 because these things are a pain when you have a Mac. But then somehow I stumbled across the Companion. Say what? It does what? OK, update on DS1 required, did it, downloaded this and have used it for days so far. It’s like a miracle." - e

• New 'GPS Warmup' feature that keeps the detector quiet for a 'user set' number of seconds or until a GPS connection is established with your detector and/or iPhone. Useful for parking garages etc.
• New ability to unlock a Ka 'mute mem' or 'auto mem' from within the app.
• Improved app's handling of POP/MRCD/T/GT3/4 signals and announcements.
• Added 'Pop' type (Ka vs K) to alert log.
• Fixed a bug where a 'ghost' mute could unmute during the signal "latch" period.
• Fixed a rare bug where the alert could remain on screen after there were no more alerts present.
• Fixed bug of having a 'Mute Mem' Ka location voice announced.
• Fixed bug of a 'Mute Mem' Ka not being greyed out on the app's main alert screen.
Version 1.02 Updates:
• Optimized weak muting and ghost muting using historical data.
• Added ability to turn ON/OFF announcements for when the 'SpotLocks system' locks a location (New setting can be found on the audio settings screen).
• Tuned existing K-Notch for Acuras/Hondas based on historical data.
• Added ability to tun ON/OFF the function of SpotLocks automatically writing the location to your detector's "lockouts" memory when a locked SpotLock is created (This setting is found on the map screen).
• Enhanced 'auto learn' functionality of SpotLocks to NOT unlock/delete Spotlocks when the associated band has been turned off in the detector's firmware.
• Added volume adjustment sliders for the detector's main and mute volume levels to the main alert screen.
• Added the ability view and change the DS1 mode between Auto and Custom to the main alert screen.
• Added a new state for the 'mute button' on the main alert screen. It will now show when the detector is no longer receiving a signal, but is still displaying it on the detector (known as 'signal latch'). The 'mute button' will show "Sig Latch" to signify the signal is no longer being detected.
• Added a new DS1 settings screen to modify some of the more popular DS1 settings (more to come in future updates). The list of settings that can be modified are as follows:
• Frequency ON/OFF
• K NOTCH OFF/ON/Weak/Block
• Idle Display Scan/Time/Smart Dark/Dark/Speed
• Sub Display OFF/Speed/Compass/Speed & Compass/Altitude

Version 1.10 New Features (Watch for another, bigger, update coming soon!):
This new version focuses on 'multiple device' Bluetooth connectivity enhancements.
***NOTE*** - If you are already paired with the detector, you will need to open the app once for each detector. New pairings take care of this, but existing pairings will need a one time connection to be remembered.
• Seamlessly switch between using different DS1s while app is in the background. A benefit for those with multiple cars with the different DS1 detectors.
• Automatic detector switching works regardless if the app is in the foreground or background, no need to bring the app to the foreground when switching devices. Just power off the connected device and the app will connect to another powered on detector.
• "Pair it, forget it and drive! It just works!"
• Support for latest detector firmware version 121.
• Fixed bug where POI alerts would turn on/off rapidly alternating between the speedometer and the POI information.
• Compiled with latest Xcode for iOS 26
• iOS 26 interface updates including Liquid Glass and other updated elements.
• New Icons for iOS 26 dark and tinted modes.
• New Formatting for trip details for iOS 26.
Previous updates:
• New and improved SpotLock 2.0 and Advanced False Assist 3.0. Both data driven systems have been updated using 4 years of historical data. This takes your detector to a whole new level of quietness and safety against real threats.
• 4 new mute types added to alert history log:
"User DS1" for when the user presses the physical mute button.
"Latch" for to support Radenso's latch mute for when the detector is muted and the signal goes away and then re-occurs within a short period.
"User app" for when a user mutes the detector by taping on the phone screen during an active alert.
"Ka, K, X Timer" for when the detector is muted after the user's set amount of time.
Also features:
• DS1 settings screen to modify some of the more popular DS1 settings (more to come in future updates). The list of settings that can be modified are as follows:
• Frequency ON/OFF
• K NOTCH OFF/ON/Weak/Block
• Idle Display Scan/Time/Smart Dark/Dark/Speed
• Sub Display OFF/Speed/Compass/Speed & Compass/Altitude
• Laser ON/OFF
• X Band ON/OFF
• K Band ON/OFF
• K Pop ON/OFF
• K Filter ON/OFF
• K Scans (Narrow, Wide, NZ Narrow)
• TSR ON/OFF
• Ka Band ON/OFF
• Ka Pop ON/OFF
• Ka Filter ON/OFF
• Ka Scans (Narrow, Wide, Segmented)
• Ka 1-9 Segs ON/OFF
• Auto Mute Volume ON/OFF
• Select Display Color
• Select Display Brightness
• Select Priority Band
• Auto Lockout ON/OFF
• Select Auto Lockout Bands
***TIP: Setting the main volume for the detector to 0 on the main alert screen and enabling the detector alert tones, will eliminate the brief audio "blips" you would normally hear when a mute command is first sent to the detector. Only potential threats will then trigger audio through your speaker or audio system providing an extremely quiet ride.
This is what people are saying after using DS1 Companion™ - See what all the fuss is about, try it for yourself!
"A Radar Detector miracle"
"This is really incredible. I bought my DS1 a couple years ago, as a placeholder for Theia. Anyway…I never even bothered to update the DS1 because these things are a pain when you have a Mac. But then somehow I stumbled across the Companion. Say what? It does what? OK, update on DS1 required, did it, downloaded this and have used it for days so far. It’s like a miracle." - e
"ESSENTIAL to the Radenso" -a
"Great Companion to DS1" -m
