E63
advice needed re K band frequency E63 uses

Got a 2011 E63 a while ago. Just had a built in AL Priority radar installed and the installer disabled all K band due to interference from the vehicle's own K band frequency for its sensors. Does anyone know the exact frequency this car uses so I can just turn that frequency off for the radar detector? Last time they turned off the K band (I was told that police only uses Ka band), I got pulled over by police and my radar was completely silent.
Thanks
Ron Yu

E63s
I have an escort smart radar mounted under my rearview mirror in a 2016 e63s with disctronic and lane blind spot and I have no interference or false alerts with the cars disctronic or other features. I've used the same detector in other non disctronic cars with same performance.

I have the same issue but I have found that it is other car's signals that interfering with the Detector, and in some cases will cause the entire command system freeze or reboot.
I have a ton of pictures and movies but BM of Seattle is just brushing it off.

From my reading, it seems that the auto industry worldwide agreed to use a 79 GHz frequency for those sort of things since 2015. So new cars don't cause interference with K band anymore. Time to upgrade the car.....
