I was just doing a little research on K band signals, and it turns out 2007 Mercedes have an infrared laser that operates on the same K band freq. so if your radar is going off towards your rear and you have a Benz behind you, he's probably on laser guided cruise control. Lol.
I will have to do a little comparison on the Escort. but dose Escort pay for your speeding tickets if the detector fails to operate like the K40 unit?
