Hey fellow E60'ers,
I was wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem. I have an Escort X50 Laser/Radar detector and everytime I honk, it seems to go nuts, (flashing LASER and beeping as if I've been marked). This happens when I'm driving or even if I'm parked and I honk. I never had this problem in my old car. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a BMW issue or is it time to retire my detector?

Is it hardwired? If so, where do you have it wired?
Sounds more like a short somewhere.
