electronically disable gesture control sensor

What are my options for electronically disabling the gesture control sensor?

Have you checked the settings in iDrive?

That unfortunately does not turn off the sensor itself...

If you do a search you will find where to put some tape to blind the sensor. I assume it is interfering with your radar detector. Others have had the same problem.

Never used mine. I still use the knob

I was in a buddy of mine G recently. We were talking and noticed any movement of hands, which done people do while talking, caused several unwanted radio changes.
Definitely annoying and gimmicky.

I bet Doug Demuro wouldn't be pleased owning one of these bwm cars.
