My F10 M5 has a hard-wired Escort 360 w/ Blendmount.

The F10 is totally different than the F90.
Also curious if anyone else has hard-wired into their F90? G30 people were having lots of issues wiring into the rear view mirror....apparently the wires there gave constant power (even when the car is off).

Had my K40 moved over from the F10 to the F90. Haven't seen it yet. Had to mount leds in dash rather than behind blinker indicators due to digital dash. Power tap in the passenger A pillar like F10.

Good afternoon. Im actually just now getting a new jammer installed.
I went with Al Priority as I was reading the new Escort 360 was having trouble jamming the new Dragon Eye laser in addition to hearing those complain about it in those particular forums. These details matter as the costs of these systems continually seem to include less hardware for your money and increase in cost. I've always run the Passport Escort 9500ci and have been happy with it, finding that it saved me about 75-85% of the time. The other times I had trouble were with instant on radar. The cost on these though is worth it the first time you see a confused cop checking his laser gun wondering what the hell is wrong with it as you drive by. My biggest hurdle is keeping the fucking smile off my face doing it. Its a dead giveaway! Anyhow here is a pic. This pic was the first I saw of the front jammers and it took me a minute to find the third one. I have mixed feelings on its placement, but have confirmed its the needed placement recommended for this car by the manufacturer. My cost on this was about $2700 and the system has everything obviously I had before with the 9500ci such as the gps enabled radar to lockout false signals, laser defense etc. I've had one also on my E60 M5 from 2006 and they hadn't changed much which caused me to see what else is out there. The company that did it is D2 Industries in the north Chicago suburbs. http://www.d2ind.com/. Here is a link to a 22 minute video about the best or better jammers available.

Are the front heads protruding out enough? I know they say to have them out just past the grille. What are you running for radar? |

I decided to go commando with no front plate here despite it being required which would have allowed the tx jammer to sit centered on the plate. Ill jump back in and post if I end up not liking the system. |

I plan on using the Valentine One Savvy module that plugs into the diagnostic port. It works great and reads car speed data to AUTO mute the radar detector at a set speed. The diagnostic port does switch off when the car is off.

Update: The laser detector in my V1 gets tripped by bright sun and also by reflected light from car's displays as per Valentine help line. When in bright sun light the thing triggers laser very frequently. I think there must be some coating in the windshield or something. Valentines work around is to deactivate the laser detector. Not a great option, but I never see laser's being used in my area.
Also I cannot use the SAVVY adapter to power it since anything plugged in to the diagnostic port triggers the car alarm. This was an up date to BMW car alarms I guess in response to car's being stolen by cloning keys via diagnostic port. So I will be doing the 'search' for switched plus 12 and running a wire. Not yet ready to start taking the car apart to tap into something in the over head control unit. Mike

No way would I mess with any part of the alarm!
LOL I found out that the cigarette lighter does shut off after a few minutes so I am good with my current setup. Mike

So I came back a little later and it had switched off. Delayed shut off is odd. |
