(still test them for proper placement though...imho)
Did some searching online and apparently I have a ZR4 Laser Shifter integrated with the Escort Passport SR7 radar detector. Probably what you're referring to. Front laser shifters are behind the center mesh and the rear one is right under the diffuser. Anyone else have experience with this system? I've seen them on a few cars before, but nobody I know knows much about them.

Yup...those are them...Although they have probably gotten better over the years, if you know how old they are, and the ZR Shifters are exactly what I had in my Porsche, they still are no where near as precise a the newer units; some of which are updateable to the newer guns (LI as example). THESE units are definetly outdated...sorry, just telling the truth! ALSO the heads should NEVER be hidden behind anything...they must be "exposed", level, and slightly protruding out the grill, up high, next to the lights.

If you are interested, here is a great place to learn about laser and all detectors for that matter...I have educated myself there for many years...no affiliation, just a good place to learn.

From wht i have read...The LI (Laser interceptor), is probably the best on the market...and after a few saves, and it will pay for itself...just saying

Read up...heres a link if you choose... http://www.radardetector.net/forums/...mmers-general/

Also, here is some LI videos... http://www.laser-interceptorusa.com/10701.html

Mods, I hope this is ok, just trying to pass on info...please delete if not cool ...I have NO affiliation
