    Default Jammer advice for 05 Mustang GT!

    hey all Im brand new here and need some adivce! yall seem to be pretty knowlageable about this so i could really use yalls help. I have a 05 mustang GT that needs laser protection. I just ordered a passport 8500 x50 for the radar side now i need something to take care of the laser. I have been pretty interested in blinder but i just found their test results on G.O.L. and im concerned that it wont give me the protection that i need. what would yall suggest for laser protection and where would be the best place to mount it? thanks!

    I say there are 2 options for you.

    1) Laser Interceptor - 2 sensors properly placed will protect the front and 2 more sensors for rear protection is also an option. You're done at this point against laser.

    2) Blinder or ZR4 - These jammers are less costly, but also less effective. If you add Veil to this setup, results will improve dramatically. Neither of these two will protect the rear of the car very well at all, but Veil will help there also, although not near as dramatically as on the front.

    so how would an m25 with the veil hold up? currently i have blackout covers over my headlights and tail lights would that be a positive or negative for this kinda set up? im just not sure im willing to shell out 1400 on a dual head LI if i can get similar performance on the lower cost side.

    I agree

    Also keep in mind that for the cost of either the Escort Zr4/Blinder m25, you could get the Laser Mask 4 head which will give you JTG results pretty much

    LI dual head is only $700

    Blinder M25 with veil would be a set-up with ticket saving performance though for the Cost of the Blinder m25 without veil you can get the Laser Mask 4 head and 4 heads up front will concur any gun around on your GT

    Very well. The only concern I have is the TruSpeed, since I have not seen any positive tests of the Blinder against the TruSpeed not done by a reseller. My guess is that with Veil, it would stand a good chance of providing ticket saving performance against the TruSpeed, but I'm not 100% convinced of that yet.

    Not sure, since I have not tested these and have not seen anyone else test them either. My guess is, not much effect.

    LI is $700 for the dual, $1225 for the quad.

    Laser mask didnt hold up to well on the tests that i saw. I guess i looked at the wrong product when lookin at the LI price . im not really concerned about attacks from the rear as most of the stops that got me have been upfront. I need something thats going to totaly JTG or at least give me time to decel before the punchthrough. on average i travel way above, so the more time the system gives the better it is. what would be my best option?

    The best option is always LI. Everything else comes with some compromise.

    well then i guess i wont be skimping on the cost then! ill just go with the LI. does cheetah have a wireless kit for LI? do the heads need to be mounted in front of the standard GT grille or can they be placed behind the grille?

    No wireless kit just yet for LI. One was supposedly in the works, but I have no idea if it's going to come out yet and even if so, if that will be anytime soon.
