Vehicles with radar detectors

[Erik]

A co-worker of mine says that he's almost positive BMW (or someone) produces cars that come with radar detectors stock from the factory. I say that a company would be putting themselves in a bit of a situation by pretty much giving the "okay" to speed and break the law, espically when most european countries have outlawed use of radar detectors.

So who can provide me with proof that someone makes a car with a radar detector from the factory?

I say no.

I searched for it, nothing came up... I highly doubt it. Maybe he's seen one hard wired in....

I could see a dealership getting them installed for there customers. Like how corwin does rims and stuff, but not a OEM option.

If I remember right, some MKIV Supras had them, but I'm not positive(and not sure how good they were)

I have also heard this myth.

Mangusta makes at least one sports car that has a factory radar detector with something like 11 sensor points around the body of the car. But that sports car is up in the vanquish price range.

Considering they are completely illegal in Virginia and DC and most of Canada, I don't see why a manufacturer would do that

i thought that BMW has an option in one of their new sports coupes or sedans that comes with a jammer. i dont know if this is true. i also want to say it comes in the new M3. Prolly just a rumor

If it's an option it doesn't really matter. Not everyone will get it, especially residents of Virginia. If nothing else, it's ALOT easier to hide something like that because they aren't going to be looking for one integrated in anything stock.

i thought i heard a while back that BMW had something like that also but im not positive either

[treimche]

Someone could just call up the dealership and ask them.

I've seen some integrated into Viper's. Looks factory but if you do a good enought install you can make anything look stock.

a friend of mind took apart a valentine one (spelling) and put the face plate in his dash and he said he wired the sensor or whatever you call it up by the head lights...looks factory

I've seen a BMW with a very factory looking radar detector before.
