K Alert from Audi Q7

Ok... here's a good one, I was driving in upper Bergen county tonight, nothing but deer and darkness. I see 2 sets of headlights coming up behind me and BANG!
My V1 hits me with a K alert, rear arrow and starts to ramp up. I slow down to the PSL and keep getting a steady signal. As the vehicles get closer, I get 2 bogey hits and then my arrows start going nuts, from back to side to front then side and back. This kept up for almost miles!!

I finally pull over to let the vehicles pass, thinking it's got to be a LEO.... but low and behold, it was a girl driving an Audi Q7 SUV. I followed her all the way to the GSP before she turned off then my V1 went silent. I would LOVE to know why this possibly happend. The only thing I could think of is that the BIATCH was radioactive!

The MB has the Distronics Plus system which has two onboard radar systems, bogey count two.

This could be the same for the Audi Q7.

Get used to the noise there is only going to be more of it.

no its not a radar gun, its that audi q7's adaptive cruise control thing, it operates off of K band, i have confirmed this myself by running into a couple of them with k band
