Well, since you already have the pics. loaded in BenzWorld, go to your pics. there, right-click on one and choose "properties." There you will see "Address (URL)" which you will have to highlight and copy. Then come back here and click on the "IMG" button above and paste your pic's. address and voila, your pic. is posted...

I hope we'll regain the upload feature on MB world soon!

Nice. One quick question...I want to get a laser jammer also but I can't get over this one scenario. Let's say you are speeding, the cops try to hit you with the radar but the laser jammer screws him over. Can't he jus follow you and pull you over anyways? Then he'll look for your laser jammer and then you're screwed even more no?

HAHA, i was wondering the same exact things. you see, cops here in Los Angeles are very tricky. They sometime wont even use a radar gun. I heard they can count the amount of seconds after your car speeds pass the cops, and they can determine your MPH. I was like DAm, thats crazy. Id get the V1 for sure, but i dont know what we can do about the Laser JAmmer. If the comps want to pulls us over, they can if we even go 70mph on the freeway. Its just to see how lucky we are.

Yeah Sun, im gonna pick up a V1, ill see if i can get a good deal and let you know.

Thanks keep me posted. I'll prolly get it after my xenon's

Where are you getting your Xenons done?

Autowerks? Meridian?

In many jurisditions, laser jammers are not illegal.

But, the Lidatek operates by jamming only the first few seconds to give you a time window to slow down, then it resets for a time and won't jam. In theory, you're suppose to slow down when you're first lasered and the jammer is functional, then the jammer won't jam when a subsequent attempt is made to get your speed. I forget the times, but I think its something like 5 seconds of jamming followed by 1 min of rest before the next jam.

Not sure yet...I want to order the bulbs you have for the high beams. The ones right next to the grille. Which bulb was that again?

I bought these:

Its not crazy, it is the oldest method used to determine speed. It most locations it's official name is VASCAR, (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder) - it's really a stopwatch coupled with a calculator. Once a distance is entered, the operator pushes a button to start then stop the stopwatch. VASCAR displays the speed calculated from the distance entered and the time measured.

In some locations you will come across white lines painted across the lanes of a highway or interstate. These marks are a redetermined distance apart. The enforcers watch from behind an overpass, start the timer when you pass the first line, stop the timer when you pass the second line. The system reads out your average speed between the two marks - no radar or laser is used so all of our high tech warning stuff does no trigger. Or it can be used by a moving patrol car. Start the clock when the vehicle you are tracking passes an object, stop the clock when the officer's car passes the object and the computer caculates the average speed of the tracked car.

Some (including traffic attorneys) would argue that VASCAR is extremely prone to human error, especially the fixed location time. The distance tracked is usually not large and the reaction time for the officer using the device is critical. Over a short distance even a small variance can cause massive caculation errors.

Another brand of laser jamming is active only when it detects a laser. The manuf. recommends to turn off the unit as soon as the legal speed is reached to not draw any attention.

Does Lidatek work? I was just advised of a group buy over on the M5 boards.....

I understand how a laser jammer works, but is there a display or anything to let you know when you have jammed a laser? Or do you have to rely on your V1 to detect and your Lidatek to jam?

hellcat

I've never used Lidatek but I've got an SRX and it has both "shifting' and detecting modes. Detection is pretty worthless because once you detect the laser that means you've already been caught. When in shifting the alarm goes off and tells you its jamming the laser. You then hit the mute button twice and it stops jamming and switches to detection, after you've slowed down to the speed limit of course. Its really convinient having them both integrated into the same unit. Its remote display is smaller than the V1 but it looks like you managed to get the V1 pretty well hidden. I would hate having something stuck to my windshield like most people do it. So obvious and in the way.

For those of you interested in a laser jammer - I have three Escort Passport SRX's - brand new in the box for sale - send me a pm or an email and make me an offer!!

Lidatek will jam, its built in speaker will sound the alarm and the LED will also go off. Even if you forget to turn on your V1 for whatever reason, the laser jammer will protect you.

Yes, it does, and I'm also on the M5 group buy for the LE30.
