    Default Should i ditch my Blinder M45 for an LI system?

    Hey guys.

    I have a Blinder M45 system mounted in the front of my little SUV, two sensors in the grille and two below.



    It was hard to see the jammers so i highlighted them in red. The two in the grille are straight ahead and level, only "somewhat" recessed.
    The two on the bottom are flush with the push bar, and again both level and straight ahead.

    I bought a pro laser II to test, but it hasn't arrived here yet.

    Lately i have been doing more research, and have been hearing good things about a different laser jammer, an "LI"? It seems this system works better than the blinder, is that true?

    My car has a lot of chrome on the front which i won't sacrifice. And i have the jammers pulled away from the car as much as i will allow them before they become obtrusive... I've also tried vail or whatever it's called, and i don't like the finish on the headlights...

    So do you think i should ditch the 4 sensor blinder m45 setup and go with this LI system? Would the LI work any better? Thanks

    First of, I would wait for your PL2 to get here and conduct testing on your current setup. The Blinder is a good system.

    Once you complete your testing, look at the results.

    According to Guys of Lidar, the Blinder did not do so well against the PLII within 250 ft. However, this was an M25 J15, so these results can't be compared. Again, you'll need to test your setup.

    A quad LI will set you back 1200+, which is a lot of dough.

    Unless you'll be getting some crazy punch throughs, I don't see a reason to ditch the Blinder.

    Another thing to consider are the guns used in your area, you need to find out which guns LE uses.

    Agreed. An M45 has a very good chance of great performance there. Although the LI is certainly a stronger jammer, there is also a benefit to having four heads over two, even if they aren't as strong. Definitely test for results before you make a change.

    Hey buddy how about I test your set-up out before you decide to upgrade your jammer!!! I work in Providence, RI. If I remember right you are in that region

    Find a open, lightly trafficed, at least 1000ft straight road and I'll test out your set-up. Let me know if you know of a spot. I am available after 4pm each day this week

    EDIT: If you Blinder M45 can survive me shooting at it you'll be well covered!!! I guarantee it!!

    Its probably a J15/j16 judging since its the same Blinder m45 he had on his old car which when he posted was before the j17.

    Don't hate on the J15/j16 they are still decent jammers

    Hm, i didn't even know there was a different version of the m45. Here are a few pics of the box:





    How do i tell which version it is? I don't have any other paperwork for it Got it last Sept/Oct new (2008).

    crazyVOLVOrob, I might take you up on your offer as i am in Smithfield, RI. Let me play around with my new gun and make some adjustments first then we'll put it up to your tests! That would be great!

    It might even be a J11. Usually there is a sticker on the back of the head that will say which revision it is. Use a little dental mirror and you should be able to get the revision number off the back

    Ok well I am done in providence, ri tomorrow so It will be rare I will be in RI after unless I am driving on 146 to get to I-90
