IF you get pulled over, the officer won't be able to spot the rear one?

jcanabal, just curious (I'm still trying to decide what to do)... Why didn't you go with the full remote (and more hidden) SR7 with the ZR-3?

Hm, good to know. I know jammers are so I just associated that with shifters too.

1) I already had the zr-3 for a couple of years...I had it on my C32

2) not sure if the sr-7 has the new pop function of the x50

3) since i had it before......worked great......why spend the money? but beleive me....I thought about it (was going to give the ZR-3 to my wife and buy the SR-7 for me....)

Thx for the response. I do believe you can get the SR-7 without the ZR-3 and use your current ZR-3. The ZR-3 is an "option".

How has the ZR-3 worked for you, have you ever been tagged by laser (that you know of)?

I've been "shot" by laser around 5-6 times already!!!
It works great!!! 0/5 for the cops!!!
The good thing is that since you get tagged and the ZR-3 "shifts" the signal, you have time to reduce your speed to the legal limit and rapidly press the mute button twice to turn-off the shifters so that the police "gun" can have a reading....by then you are "legal"!!
