1. An apparatus for a vehicle comprising:
- a radar detector configured to detect a police radar signal;
a communication interface configured to receive information about an image of an environment of the vehicle; and
a controller in communication with the radar detector and the communication interface and configured to determine a speed of the vehicle based on the information about the image and to change at least one operating characteristic of the radar detector based on the information about the image received by the communication interface.

Abstract
An apparatus for a vehicle includes a radar detector configured to detect a police radar signal and a receiver configured to receive information about an image of an environment of the vehicle. A controller in communication with the radar detector and the receiver is configured to change at least one operating characteristic of the radar detector based on the received information.

17. A method for operating a radar detector in a vehicle comprising:
-
scanning a plurality of frequencies, by the radar detector, to detect a police radar signal; receiving, via a communication interface, information about an image of an environment of the vehicle; based on the information about the image, determining a speed of the vehicle; and changing at least one operating characteristic of the radar detector based on the information about the image. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A method for operating a radar detector in a vehicle comprising:
-
scanning a plurality of frequencies, by the radar detector, to detect a police radar signal; receiving, via a communication interface, information about an image of an environment of the vehicle; receiving at least a portion of the image of the environment; storing in a data storage device; respective metadata about a plurality of roadway-related attributes, and a plurality of images; identifying one of the respective metadata that matches the information about the image; determining a subset of the plurality of images based on the matching one of the respective metadata; identifying one of the subset of the plurality of images that matches the at least a portion of the image of the environment; and changing at least one operating characteristic based on the matching one of the subset of the plurality of images.

34. An apparatus for a vehicle comprising:
-
a radar detector configured to detect a police radar signal; a communication interface configured to receive information about an image of an environment of the vehicle; a controller in communication with the radar detector and the communication interface change at least one operating characteristic of the radar detector based on the information about the image received by the communication interface; the communication interface further configured to receive at least a portion of the image of the environment; a data storage device, in communication with the controller, configured to store respective metadata about a plurality of roadway-related attributes and configured to store a plurality of images; and the controller further configured to; identify one of the respective metadata that matches the information about the image; determine a subset of the plurality of images based on the matching one of the respective metadata; identify one of the subset of the plurality of images that matches the at least a portion of the image of the environment; and change the at least one operating characteristic based on the matching one of the subset of the plurality of images.
