New K-40 updates, plus info needed on v1 etch into rearview
heres what and where I got with the K-40.. after all the issues i was having
Went back to the installer, he performed a reset... K40 connecting front connected rear connected, life is great. We even had a gun on site to test it and it worked great!
Left the shop and it nailed every camera cop etc.. About 15 min later the system starts going off by itself saying highway tone mode iduno.. So it stopped working. I did a reset myself where I followed each step by step and it reset fine but still it started to go off by itself.
Called K-40 they tell me "must be a software issue, bring your unit back into the installer". I am so pissed right now that i paid 1300 for a calibre dual with laser diffuser. Reason why I did it was because my v1 was jacked out of my window 1 night leaving me v1less and windowless to my expense. I was going to do the V1 into the rearview mirror etch which is stealthy and gorgeous and its much more efficent then calibre but they wanted 2k for the install plus I hear the rearview mirror glass on e63 is double glass which makes it hard to etch.
So ill be going in to redo my radar come tuesday and im not happy about it, regardless if anyone has pics or info on v1 "etched into mirror" I'd love to see and hear about it, plus prices on install including $399 v1 device.

I had a similar problem with it going basically bat****, called the installer & he told me to replace the batteries in the remote. It takes 2 AAAA batteries (tough finding quadruple A batteries sometimes). Replaced the batteries while the car was off, started it back up & then turned the K40 back on... problem gone.
