I have that same sticker in two of my cars (same brand as yours). Do you
really think they are trying to sell you their built-in cell phone? I
can't imagine that cars that cost that much would be affected by a common
cell phone.

You have some BMWs? You hot sh*&!

Watda ya got?

Eisboch

I can't compete...

330i
X5 4.4i

If I trade them both in and drop another $20K I can buy one M5.

I looked at the sticker again today. It includes radar detectors which,
as far as I know, don't transmit. What's up with that?

Dan

Both nice cars. Mrs.E had a 330ci - then traded it in for an X5 because she
was intimidated by big trucks. Heh. Her X5 had the smaller, six cylinder
and it was plenty fast. Yours must be really quick.

Radar detectors that don't transmit? I didn't think any radar detector
transmitted. Don't they just go off if they detect a radar band
transmission? I might be wrong. In any case, if my car has one I haven't
got to it yet. I am still practicing shifting a manual without a clutch
pedal. It sounds like it would be easy, but it isn't. It takes some
getting used to.

I drove a friend's Acura which had the automatic/manual. I couldn't figure
it out, at least not in the ten or so miles I drove it. I think I'm a
clutch guy. Luckily, the Acura does come with a straight manual
transmission.

There are detectors out there that also transmit a jamming signal. As they
pollute the airwaves for the rest of us that use passive detectors, their
use is frowned upon.

Frowned upon? Uh, try illegal and use of them is a federal crime. No
thanks.

No federal crime if it is not an active transmitter. Some states, mine is
one, ban the passive jammers.

Basically they add a noise signal to the reflected radar energy.

The SMG (sequential manual geardrive) transmission is different. It's a 7
speed manual transmission with an automatic clutch. Borrowed from Formula
One racing.

Basically they add a noise signal to the reflected radar energy.

Add = transmit. I'd venture a guess that in the event of being caught with
said devices the legal expenses to attempt justifying it's possession would
well exceed any perceived savings.

They add, not transmit. Have to use the power from the radar unit. As
opposed to a transmitter.
