Except laser jammers, what solutions are out there for radar jamming?

This was a similar issue in my G30. Sorry, I am not rigging a $80-100k car with electrical tape so my $500 radar doesn't falsely go off.

I also have been a loyal V1 guy for years.....but once I started to do some more research after I took delivery of my M5 around Christmas, I found this seems to more so be a V1 issue. I ended up selling my V1 and getting a Uniden R7....which is rated higher anyways. Zero issues with any false alarms now....not from gesture control, not from anything.

V1 has not even been selling units since the Spring....it's obvious their firmware is way behind.

Has anyone successfully wired the Uniden R7 power to the rear view mirror?

Can you take a picture of your radar detector with the Blendmount to see exactly how you positioned the radar detector? Thanks.
