Thanks. I had considered getting a Cheetah GPS with database of speed and red light traps but it would be useless for mobile setups. The strategy I have been using is relying on the laser from the...

Thanks. I had considered getting a Cheetah GPS with database of speed and red light traps but it would be useless for mobile setups. The strategy I have been using is relying on the laser from the...
I currently have an LI dual (front) on my car which works fantastic. But Maryland and especially Montgomery County is going gaga with Laser based speed cameras. Some are set up permanently on...
I do get the idea. On my car the rectangle is not as wide but I suppose it would still be okay. For fixed laser speed cameras I assume they are probably aimed at the center of each traffic lane. ...
Thanks for your input Cliff. I didn't know about the brackets you mentioned for the license plate, so that is good news. Where would the sensors be positioned using those brackets? As I mentioned...
I don't know if this would be a good idea or not. Since there are no convenient places to mount rear sensors on the 350Z, I was thinking of making a custom bracket that mounts behind the license...
Tonight I added an external speaker for clearly understood voice alerts and greater volume. It was a piece of cake.
Check out this article from WTOP regarding Montgomery County.
18 new speed camera zones coming to Montgomery Co. - WTOP.com
Rear sensor placement on the 350Z is a challenge. There are no convenient mounting points and everything is curved. I've been toying with the idea of making some mounts that are fitted under the...
I understand what you're getting at but polarization can be applied at different frequencies. Polarized filters for visible light may have no effect on infrared because it's a different wavelength. ...
I live in Silver Spring. Montgomery County is going ape with speed cameras. They are even upgrading existing traps from radar to laser plus employing portable laser (and radar) box units chained to...
I hear you. My sensors are mounted exactly where my old LPP sensors were located. You cannot tell if there is a left or right-handedness to the LPP sensors so I just put them on. Never had any...
Are you sure? I have photos sent to me by Cliff of his Mercedes and the bubbles are on the inside which is why I set mine up that way. Even so, I wonder if it really matters.
Here are some pics of my installation.
This is the switch plate I fashioned...pretty basic but clean I think. I bought a sheet of 12x12 brushed aluminum from McMaster-Carr. It came with the...
I installed my new LI system on my Z today. I will provide pics once I recover from the contortions I had to go through in order to get the wiring the way I wanted it in the driver compartment. :)

Update on this incident and a warning for everyone driving in or through New York state.
I received a statement from the NY DMV telling me I had to pay a "driver responsibility assessment" since...
I'm back from my trip. I live in Maryland. I called the NY DMV and they told me the points will not transfer to my state. It's not worth driving up there to fight the ticket. What ticked me off...
You make some good points as do others here. I think this event was a case of "nothing is 100% perfect" and the right set of circumstances existed to make it all happen the way it did. The fact I...
I got a ticket as described above with some interesting circumstances. I'm from out of state and was rounding a bend on the highway and nestled in a cluster of cars. The curve of the road was...
Thanks...over the interim I have been researching and what you describe confirms the more reliable website's reports and making general inferences. I have a call to Cliff to talk about the Laser...
Not much I guess.
Hi,
I haven't been on this site for a few years. I bought a dual head LPP in late 2006 and have had no problems (and several saves) since then. Currently I'm getting the front of my car redone...
Hey Everyone!
Sorry to be so late sending an update. The cold kept me from getting the problem researched and I was busy building a new computer for a couple weeks.
The good news is it was...
I spliced the power off the cigarette lighter using splicer connectors. I have heard they can fail over time and will check them and the connector plug that slides onto the prongs on the back of the...
Today as I was driving, I started hearing my wireless unit beep as if I had just started the car. This continued and became erratic until I was only hearing a single beep occasionally. I also...
I have a dual head LPP on my 350Z. It saved me Memorial Day weekend in Massachusetts on 495 east near the 95N merge. Another trip it saved me on the NY/PA border just inside NY. Both were...
