Laser jammer install, anyone else done it? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Alberta_ZR1 · 05-10-2011

My lovely city is laser happy and they're getting worse.

So I have decided to install a decent laser jammer to work with my detector. The only issue I'm running into is where to mount the transponders (sensors). Since we have no grill or openings anywhere on the front of the car, the only place I can think of is under the nose.

Just curious if someone has installed a jammer on their Corvette and where they have put the transponders. Some pictures would be helpful.

Thanks

Example of an install on a C6 - there is only two transponders in the kit I'm looking at

i think the pinapple express had one installed...and quite a few other things too. i know mark haibeck worked on the car and i'm not sure who put it in to begin with but maybe you could contact him and see if he has any ideas

Illegal in Cali (the jammers), but they don't use laser very often here. Ideally, the hidden system seems like the best option, I always hated having the detector in sight.

There is a square air scoop part you can buy from MAM that helps keep grit and debris out of the radiator inlet and it would have a horizontal surface that goes back several inches into the duct in which you could mount the sensors.

I saw in Edmonton that they actually have radar speed cams disguised as trash cans (wheelie-bins) that they put out on trash day. I'm not too fond of the municipalities camera minivans up in Ft Mac either.

Good call on the air scoop. The only other spot to put the transponders is upside down from the front bumper and then set them in a little bit. There isn't much else to mount them to.

Unfortunately, a detector only works if he shoots the car in front of me first.

Plenty of room on the BMAD for mounting but it would be very visable a few feet from the front of the car.
