    Default AL G8 1 sensor ...

    AL G8 have 1 Outer Sensor instead of other companies which have 2 sensors at the same price... Is G8 more powerful and do same job as other or a second sensor G8 is needed to buy ?

    I'm told the AL G8 is sufficient for my GMC full sized pickup with one head in front. (Certainly, my truck is more of a target than your Beemer.)

    Since, in some areas, LEO's target the rear, I would get a two head unit with one sensor in front and another in the rear for my vehicle.

    The G8 is better tuned (not necessarily more powerful than previous versions of AL) if I understand correctly.

    Good luck in your decision.

    If one head is enough for my GMC full sized pick up truck, 1 head should be enough for you if you are driving the BMW.

    one head is sufficient protection for the front end

    Guys if the Lpp v10.1 is the same thing as AL G8 I do not recommend just one head judging from recent video results of LPP v10.1 single head

    Default Let's clear this up

    So I have read in some posts that 1 head is "good enough" for front protection, and others where people say you need two up front (one for each headlight).

    So what is it?

    I say 1 head is enough since all you need is to slow down and turn off the jammer. Most of the times I can slow down to the limit in 5-8 seconds. My videos show a jam time above 20 seconds on both test vehicles. However, some of us are hardcore and would never settle for less-than-JTG performance, so we go with dual-heads or more.

    Really depends on the car...

    You still havent mentioned what vehicle it would be placed on... Is it the z4 in your Avatar?

    If so, 1 would definatley be enough

    Cars that have a lot of "chrome/reflective" parts, should have a dual kit (no matter what size the vehicle is).
