thanks!
I also have a ‘26 X5MC. I actually did just as the “KIES” video and it definitely takes way longer than 5 minutes for the radar detector to shut off. It’s a bit strange since only the ground is plugged into the maroon/purple harness, which shouldn’t matter, right? I’m too lazy to redo this but thanks for posting!
