Side Blind Zone Alert system note

[DofD]

Just thought I would pass this bit of information along to those that have the side blind zone alert system.

If a cop passes you close by with his Ka band radar on, it will cause the SBZA system to become disabled. Happened to me yesterday when a cop was waiting to pull out of the police station as I drove by.

I'm confused, is your SBZA aftermarket or factory?
And why does it do that?

Interesting.

So far, rain is the only thing that disables mine.

Its a factory option on the 09. Probably because it uses radar to detect cars in your blind spots.

Interesting....
Mine goes "disabled" almost every time I drive. Usually for just a minute or two. Never paid attention to cops around me. Has this been verified by GM? I almost took the Yukon in for service several times becasue of this.
