I'm still fiddling with the settings. I have the filters turned on to reduce it and it helps. But for example, I drive by one of the entry gates on Ft Bragg here in NC and it's goes ape-shit crazy for Ka band even though there are no cops/MPs around and there's no traffic sensors. But the K filter is pretty darn good, a little sensitive on highway, but on city mode, works great.

How easy/difficult was the install?
Very easy. I used the 2nd largest tap leads as an FYI.

Note, I used the rain sensor to tap into as the normal mirror harness only put out 11V DC, rain sensor was 13V DC. I verified this with a multimeter based off this: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1167114

If I were to do it again, I'd have it done in 5 minutes. Took me 6 due to the multimeter part. Just make sure you buy the RIGHT Blendmount for your F85.
