What's the 3rd "foglight"?-bmw545i.jpgThere's what has the shape of a third fog light in the front right of the car, but I don't think it is a lamp -- what is that for? Is it the distance sensor for the active cruise control?

Thanks
Peter

Yes, it's a radar functioning in the 80GHz band.

Yes, it's a radar functioning in the 80GHz band.
At that frequency, would it set off radar detectors in other cars?
