K40 RL360I installed

Finally got my K40 RL360I with laser diffuser installed today. Looks and works great. Only 2 blue lights instrument cluster area and one square small box on dash for satalite pick up. Pictures attached I think.

did you have the k40 hooked up to your car speakers or did they use the speaker that came with the K40? On mine they hooked up to the speakers on the car. I am going to bring it back and have them install it to the speaker that came with the k40

Do you have Distronic? I believe these will not work properly if Distronic is engaged.

Interesting. It has always been the included speaker under the dash. In my E, it's harder to hear than it was in my BMW. I think it is set further back underneath. Never knew using the car's audio was an option. I may think about trying it. Why are you going to change this? I can pm you my settings if it's going off too frequently?

I do have Distronic and it has not been impeded. Although my front parking sensors have acted oddly at times.

What happens is I have blue tooth for the phone. Normally the phone call cancells out everything and you hear the person calling you. With the radar hooked up it overides the bluetooth and you only hear the beeping and it telling you what band. You cannot hear the people calling you. I can shut the volume down on the radar but I do not want to have to do that everytime I get a phone call and it goes off.
