My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

I don't mean this to come across as critical, but there is a label on the windshield (at least on mine) specifically warning against hard wiring radar detectors to the electrical system. Good luck, though. I hope you resolve this problem.

Yes it makes the noise like it wants to work but it just doesn't open.

Try using the hand crank just 2c if it will open and close. The crank is in the trunk in the emergency kit. Just a thought.
