Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I got my Porsche with a K40 from the states and I shipped it to Saudi Arabia. The K40 was working properly there in the USA. But it is not functioning as it should be here. When I switch on the car, yes both leds flash blue on the steering wheel and a sound goes "K40 on". But other than that I never hear any warning signal from the front sensor. From time to time I hear "Rear K-band" or "Rear Ka-band" warning signal but it is usually false (a police car but not a radar). I regularly pass radars and at times I got caught but never get any warning from the front sensors!!! Once I got a rear warning after I passed the radar!!! I am not sure what is the problem! I wrote to [email removed] on June 28th but never got a response! I emailed them a couple of days later on both [email removed] and [email removed] but no response!!! It seems this company is as dead as their radar detectors!!! :crazy: Any advice on how to solve my problem would be appreciated. :helpme:

My advice would be to order an Escort unit from one of our sponsors and toss the K-40 in the trash can.

The K-40s are known for this type of malfunction. It's all of that bluetooth connectivity, or should I say disconnectivity. Unfortunately, the detector doesn't tell you when it lost communication with one of it's peripherials. It just lets you go blazing into a trap with no protection. There are many fixes and workarounds that only K-40 can help you with. Good luck. I hope they return your messages soon. Where did you buy the K-40? Perhaps they can help.
