Please Help!!!!

Agreed. Sensitivity to -112 makes -41.3 huge.

Update:

Found this intersting when thinking about lane assist radar:

For systems operating in the 23.12–29.0 GHz band, the frequencies at which the highest average emission level and at which the highest peak level emission appear shall be greater than 24.075 GHz. (4) These devices shall operate only when the vehicle is operating, e.g., the engine is running. Operation shall occur only upon specific activation, such as upon starting the vehicle, changing gears, or engaging a turn signal. The operation of these devices shall be related to the proper functioning of the transportation vehicle, e.g., collision avoidance.

Tells me that the lane assit, if designed within the law, should not be constantly transmiting and should be vindicated as a cause. The ACC is on the higher frequency, and I believe the back-up sensors are on a lower frequency. 16-17 GHz.

This is starting to really piss me off I think I'm going to start with a crobar to these stupid bmw assist gizmos. The real f'd up part is when I disable this shut it's going to throw all sorts of codes and flash malfunction lights

i took the valentine one around the front of the car the highest concentration of k band is coming through the bumper under the lights. Its not the active cruise sensor. I have no idea what it could be but I cant disable it in the car. I would think lane assist would be on the sides and the car keeps leaking k band with lane assist on. I am truly stumped

Any progress?

Any progress?

Going to my BMW tech on monday I am going to try and isolate the interference and kill it if possible I feel like that has to be my next natural step. Running without Kband is not a good option.

According to the vehicle manufacturer site that is a K band radar sensor in the front bumper for active cruise control. If it is like the Nippon units, and it probably is, it will be on all the time whether you engage the active cruise control or not.

Also, if your windshield is composed of material that is blocking the V1 from picking up that K band transmitter in the front bumper, it is the wrong vehicle for an RD. You can probably get away with jammers, but I doubt you will be able to disable the radar sensor without a consequence.

I would defer to Solidjake’s comments…

This is what happens when you buy a newer german car :P

Stick to the classics like an e46

The thing that sux the most about MG's situation is that he will need to deactivate 1 or 2 multi-thousand dollar sensor packages to use CMs (based on what I have heard so far). What a waste of $$ IMO. As for the window, not sure I buy that one, but if it is true, you could always go with a steath model to avoid the window once the offending sensors are disabled.

Yuck all the way around.

You are correct. If you disable it then the vehicle will show error codes. The K signal it is emitting is on when the vehicle is running, no matter what features you have disabled. Unfortunately the only current solution on your vehicle is to disable K band on your Qi45.

The window issue IS REAL, there is a metallic component to some windshields:

Copy that...just read through the following: http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...ad.php?t=37656

How thick a lead shield would be required to absorb all the RF emitted by the sensors on your car?
You're not the only guy on this forum who has had this problem, and if the signals could simply be absorbed, then you won't have to mess with disabling them!

nine-c1, do you know the answer?
