In Reply to: Radar detector use. posted by Jon Salmon on October 27, 2001 at 16:21:41:

Since I have a slew of Bimmers, I'm gonna read themn all and see if I found this. I have never once heard anything about this at all.

Moreover, when I owned a 740i, it had some sort of coating on the window that interfered with radar detectors. They left two spots open, right at the bottom center and right under the mirror. I forgot what the manual said, but it was something like those two spots were the only ones that allowed radio transmissions (radar) to pass. Even the saleman at the dealer recommended where to put the radar detector.

My guess is that there's some legal/liability issue on the radar detector. As for the cell phone, sounds suspiciously like an attempt to entice people to buy the CPT 8000. LOL.
