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 DS1s firmware to version 1.15 (Newer, if available). Previous versions to 1.15 will not hold the mute.

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 Radensos detectors unique abilities and features.
