[QUOTE="BOJANGLES, post: 14001, member: 21"] Sorry for the lackluster cell phone pics, but they'll get the job done. [ATTACH=full]171975[/ATTACH] Recently I installed this system on my Raptor. What I like about it is that the protection is top of the line and all the components are extremely hidden and stealthy. No Radar box stuck on the windshield, no wires across my dash, and the tiny display screen and controller have been professionally wired and installed, they're barely even noticeable. [B]I had the Controller Module installed behind the left side of the steering wheel, somewhat near the headlight controls: [/B] [ATTACH=full]171976[/ATTACH] [B]and I had the Display Module installed in the open port towards the passenger side of the dash:[/B] [ATTACH=full]171977[/ATTACH] ....Everything else is pretty much totally hidden. There is an Interface, a GPS Module, a tiny amplified Speaker, a Front Radar Receiver, 2 Front Laser Receiver/Shifters, and a Rear Laser Receiver/Shifter. You can see little images of them towards the right side of this picture: [ATTACH=full]171978[/ATTACH] All the Receivers for the front are hidden behind the grille and the Shifters under my lower Rigid 40" lightbar, the rear Receiver/Shifter is mounted on the license plate bracket. Everything is very discreet. This system offers coverage on many bandwidths: -X Band Coverage -K Band Coverage -KA Band Coverage -Laser Coverage (I added the Laser Shifters which were an option at extra cost. To quote the box it came in: [ATTACH=full]171979[/ATTACH] There are 3 sensitivity controls: -Auto (Automatically uses system's ability to provide 360 degrees of coverage for all bandwidths) -AutoNoX (Automatically uses system's ability to provide 360 degrees of coverage for all bandwidths except for X band which is used on much older radar guns and often storefronts) -Highway (Changes Receivers/Shifters so that they do not focus as much on 360 degree coverage. Instead they focus their power WAY WAY down the road in front of you. If there is a cop using radar/laser ahead of you, you're gonna know about it a LONG way before you get there.) You may have noticed from the Display Module picture above that I usually have it on AutoNoX. I found out that the authorities in my city do not use X Band radar. Using AutoNoX means I won't pick up any unnecessary X Band beeping. If I'm taking a road trip or driving to another city on the interstate, I flip over to Highway Mode which re-activates my X Band for those tiny little highway towns using dated technology. The GPS System is one of the coolest features of this product. To quote the box it came in: This feature is just awesome. The way it works is that the realtime GPS records every signal that hits your vehicle, if it receives the same [B]exact[/B] signal in the same [B]exact[/B] location 3 times, it stores that location in its system as a Non-Threat. To use 2 examples from my daily driving: There is a Walgreen's just outside of my neighborhood where the automatic doors trip everyone else's radar detectors... and a 30 mph Speed Limit sign nearby that shoots radar and displays it on a screen so driver's are alerted of their speed. Since I pass these places almost every day, my system recorded them as Non-Threats, so my Display Module and Amplified Speaker don't alert me anymore when I pass those places unless there is a new/additional radar or laser signal in that area. Furthermore, the GPS system comes loaded with locations all over the nation that have red-light cameras. The ****** gives you a quick double-beep when you're approaching an intersection that has an operational red light cam, then the display reads "REDLIGHT". If you happen to come across an intersection that has a new red light cam that isn't preloaded, you just hit the "Mark Location" feature and it is forever stored in your system. Its nice to know where the cameras are when you have a yellow light and you're not quite sure whether to hit the gas or brake. [ATTACH=full]171980[/ATTACH] There are all kinds of other features to this system, the other day I was driving and it started making a noise I'd never heard from it before... when I looked down at the display it was flashing "SPD TRAP" ...sure enough a while later down the road I noticed two cop cars discreetly parked on each side of the street. Whenever the system gets a hit, it alerts you as to which bandwidth it is, the signal strength, which grows and diminishes accurately as you get closer-to/further-from the cop, is shown visually on a meter and is given audibly by the tempo of beeps. The little screen will also display your current speed. Over 60 different specific safety messages warn of hazards in the area using SWS technology. The system also has voice alerts, but I turned those off.... If I have the SYNC lady-voice and the ******/Passport lady-voice yappin' at me at the same time, I'm liable to pull over and start drinking! Anyhow, that's the lowdown. I'm definitely very pleased with this system, absolutely zero buyer's remorse, and I'm pretty sure its already saved me from a few tickets. [U]The only thing I can think of that I might do differently if I had to do it again[/U]: I would mount the Controller Module higher up on the same panel so it would be a bit easier to see when sitting in the driver seat. The way mine is mounted the steering wheel obstructs the buttons unless I crane my neck a bit. [IMG]http://customsounds.com/home/images/products/cin_9500ci.jpg[/IMG] If anyone has any questions about it, let me know and I'll do my best to answer them.
