Curious, has anyone installed a laser jammer on their RL?

 

No, but my 06 Miata has one and it ain't cheap. I have the one from passport. $1500 installed.

 

which model did you go with and does it work?

 

Go to the Escort/Passport website. There are a couple of different models and they integrate with the Passport 8500.

 

You mean you can get a Miata going fast enough to need a laser jammer?

(Just kidding. )

Uh, have you driven the new 06? Not your daddy's Oldsmobile No, its not an RL., but then the RL is not a MX-5. The RL is boring in comparison.

 

What ever the top of the lop of the line is. 8500 I think. Does it work? To tell the truth I do not know. I so not dive my MX-5 often. Its my weekend fun car. I might not never know, cuz if it works, I will not be stopped

I can say, the installer had told me serveral people who have had it installed says they have gone through laser, over speed and have not been stopped. I am not going to go out and test it either. It dectects radar as well and does that very well. Plus the unit is remotely installed and you cannot tell it is in the car. Important in a convertible.

 

Fellas, these are all radar detectors, as Escort doesn't make a jammer.

 

well for the record I am considering a blinder unit, which is specifically designed as a laser jammer first.

 

Wrong. Escort makes a lidar jammer that integrates with the 8500

Yes they do!

 

I have a Passport X50 With Front and Rear Laser Jammers. Just pulled it out of an M3 I sold to put it in the RL. I used it for 3 years, what do you want to know??

Does it work?

 

I spent last weekend doing a lot of research on them.. i plan to go with this:

I have the Passport Excort ZR3 Laser Shifter installed on my RL. Works great!

 

Yeah the Miata is not boring...you're always afraid you'll get run over by real cars.

 

thats exactly what I was doing last weekend too. After seeing how Chicago PD are shifting to laser guns from radar- and populating the force with more of them, I figured its time for countermeasures.
I came to the same conclusion-the Blinder.
But hey, its worth asking the forum what they think too!

 

Dude you might want to know what your talking about, before you make your statements. Car Toys here in Seattle will install the Escort/ passport package, that with the jammer for $1500

Yes it does work, in 3 years Ive only busted 3 Laser cops all in NJ, but did work. In my research 3 years ago it was the ONLY one that actually worked consistantly and to the highest degree. I have Allways been an Escort user, no doubt in my mind they are the best and I have tested and still own just about every highend detector. Valentine etc.

The concept is you "jam" the Copper until you can adjust your speed than defeat the jammer with a remote button, so he can actually clock you at the limit or wherever u want. I believe within 500 feet they dont work at all, its call the "punch thru zone" or something.

Good luck
