Assuming I eventually wind up with an M2 I will probably be putting a 9500ci into it along with a V1, but I'm trying to figure out how much radar the car spews by itself.
There are no blind spot systems but the front collision avoidance is radar-based. If you mount the way I did you won't experience any self-alarms. To your concern, I can specifically offer that while mucking around with my install I observed the iDrive display will trigger the laser alarm in the V1 when the V1 is aimed directly at the screen. Given my enclosure, I very rarely get laser alarms though some SUVs' collision avoidance systems will trigger it.
