Hi,
Firstly, thanks for the posts, this put me in the right direction.
I have just taken deliver of a 2016 X5 with blind spot detection (BSD) and the V1 I have spent all it's time going off.
I was going to try turning off POP as suggested but when I went into the programming of the unit I noticed that there were bands turned on that are not used in the UK i.e. X and Ka, so I turned them off and the false alarms stopped from the BSD system (which you don't appear to be able to turn off). So I deduced that the BMW BSD must be either running on X or Ka band.
And yes, the V1 is a whole lot quieter with X and Ka turned off.... pity it took me so long to work it out... I have only had the V1 for about 5 years....
