Bluetooth vs Radar

rabman5 · 09-03-2007, 09:20 PM

My newest Z4 ('07 MR) has bluetooth, but my old one ('04 3.0) did not. My Valentine V1 radar detector worked great in the old car, and saved me from many tickets. Since June, I have taken three long road trips in the M roadster. While using the bluetooth, I got constant beeping from the V1, showing a weak signal from the rear. I was going to send the V1 in for repair, thinking that there must be a fault with it. As you might suspect, this was driving me nuts. So yesterday, on the way home from SC, I turned off the bluetooth on my phone. Problem Solved? It seems so! Not one false alarm. So here's my question... Is bluetooth a type of radar? Anyone else have this problem?

I already checked click here but it didn't really answer the question.
