I used to think that until now. Just did 1600 km from Toronto to Jay Peak, VT, and back. I passed two OPP running tripod LIDAR on the 401, one near Cobourg, the other Brockville. It was about -15°C...

It isn't that hard to believe, is it?

I bought my STi brand new in the US several years ago, threw the case out, and drove it back across the border into Canada without declaring it. Several of my...

Okay, I take that statement back.

Just came back from a drive to run some errands. K band sensitivity seems a little better from the random smattering of door openers around the neighbourhood.

I'm in Canada, and just received my updated STi back from Beltronics. Value was declared at $19.95 USD ($22.94 CAD on 6-Nov-08) and I was hit with $11.81 CAD of import charges COD when the package...

My STi is long out of warranty. It was in once for a free update (A4M9 33.8 fix some time ago).

Obviously, I now want the current ramp up fix.

Was this fix free for you guys not longer on...

I totally agree with you on the colour, but of course, I'm biased. :D

I'll have to have a look at the car, take some measurements, and see what fits. Either way, I think mounting one or two heads...

I guess for effectiveness, the rear head must be placed close to the plate?

I'd be tempted to flush mount INTO the black lower bumper valence, right where the silver paint ends. It involves a lot...

I'd like to see a few more examples of vertical placement. So far, I've only really seen the heads bolted to the top of the plate frame.

You don't think one head would be sufficient up front,...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. A few of you suggested the upper center grill, which is a place I'll definitely look into —*especially if a slightly recessed mounting will yield practical...

Since I'm in the process of dumping untold amounts of money into my summer car's engine, I figure it's due time to get a LI or LPP installed to complement the stealth STI that I've been using for the...

I've been using my upside-down on the visor for months now. Seems to work fine, but I can't help notice that the laser sensors are now closer to the visor side and would probably be less effective...

Just a quick update:

I received my updated STi from Beltronics last week. I had a really old A1M7 (S/N AX0002##) that is now flashed to A4M9 with the latest bugfixes. The included note indicates...

I was more asking how the tech display is visible to the driver when the STi is mounted in that position.

I have my STi in a visor organizer pocket -- at least there, I can open up the back of...

How do you see the tech display?

What about inside the headliner of center roof console (if you have one), above the RVM?

I've had this happen once in a while as well.

My STi is hardwired with the Smart Cord through clean, switched interior cabin power (fyi, switched relay block 75X on Audi and VWs). Once every few...

I do agree. I love CHs too, especially on stretched tires and slammed B5 Audis. ;)

But of course, the be-all and end-all of BBS...

Yeah the car provides 12. The Charger says the output is 5V, so I guess I would need something on the line to reduce the Voltage.[/quote]

You can buy cigarette lighter to USB adapters, commonly...

Oh man, I have all kinds. Let the pic whoring begin!

Nah, BBS CHs are welfare compared to those. The cop car in the video has RS-GT in Diamond Black.

With the STi mounted that high, wouldn't that render the rear-facing laser sensor useless? Not that the rear-facing laser sensor on the STi is much good anyway, but I would imagine at that height, an...

Rather than use divider tabs, you may have more options with a set of proper photo/television/film studio lighting gels.

Both Rosco and Lee Filters have free 1x4" swatch books available at most...

This is great news.

Now to decide whether or not I want to update mine. I have an A1M7 -- supposedly the most sensitive to KA, but prone to falsing...

I've only ever seen K on the 400 and 11 north through Port Severn, Barrie, Gravenhurst...

That will render the laser detection useless, won't it?

I think the best installation will be similar to laser jammer heads, e.g., hole cut into a grill area and mounted flush.
