LI GOL 2008 Thoughts

[happya$$]

I have to say that after the test I asked Ivan his thought on the results. He was not satisfied! I was like Ivan WTH you mean you are not satisfied? He told me that he will not rest until he gets JTG's on every run and he WILL achieve this. I have no doubt that he can do this because the man knows his stuff. He is FULL of knowledge and is very down to earth. In fact he himself is a hard core enthusiast BUT happens to be in this business selling. Oh by the way he could not get a PT on my Civic with that XR until 632' with NO JAMMERS on. That is how stealth my car is. The pic on the GOL album book is me flipping off Ivan because my Civic owned him!

ur obsessed with that civic but that is wat makes LI the best.... The man wants 100% JTG!!!!!

[happya$$]

It was funny how may miles were logged in just testing the LI (JTG so driver had to make it down the whole course). LI makes testing boring no surprises when testing that bad boy:)

LI makes testing boring no surprises when testing that bad boy:)Too bad we didn't log the mileage for each jammer. That would have been a very good indication of how they stacked up. More miles = better jammer.

or like a jam from 5000 feet away to 0

[djrams80]

or like a jam from 5000 feet away to 0It would take a week to complete that bad boy! :mad:

[spider_55]

What about getting rid of the jam codes on the Laser Atlanta? Can he (LI) do that or is that out of his control?

[crazyVOLVOrob]

He told me that he will not rest until he gets JTG's on every run and he WILL achieve this.
He was the same way back in March 07 in AZ when we were testing the single heads unofficially

Steve it's a Civic I will not be impressed until you have counter measures similar to Alex Roy's M5 or the Blackbird 'R8'

They stated they will not even try for now. The LA's code for jam detection is to loose. This is why it will false all the time. Until they tighten the jam detection it is not worth the time to build a work around for it.
Here are some of my videos.

So per the test, the LI is the one to buy?

I'm mostly interested in defeating the LTI units.

Correct.

Alright, now that I know who was the winner.

1. Where is the best deal on it?

2. How can I ensure I get a unit that just left the assembly line?

3. Are 2 heads enough up front or do I need more?

There is no best deal on it, to get it you need to contact Cliff he is c55 on the board.

Well, to get the newest unit then request the 7.05 cpu which are shipping shortly.

2 heads should be enough for most cars, but if you have a truck or lots of chrome then you may need more, but I am confident 2 is enough for most.

The LPP didn't do too bad on the LTI units. I remember shooting carter840's Ranger Rover with his dual LPPs and no LTI gun that i shot at him could get a reading

[th3 factory freak]

Can you give me some pointers on where I would mount the heads?

Is there a need for a 3rd head here?

What's the deal with the "slim" receiver, is that just smaller than a regular receiver?

[hockey005]

2 heads on that = JTG

[th3 factory freak]

thanks for marking the location. There is actually a black plastic piece there, so an inch or so below where you marked, would that work?

Just make sure the heads are mounted straight and level and you will be good to go. In that position, the bubble should be towards the outside of the car.

where do i get the LI from?? ]shows it to be a ****ty product / scam!!

is it legit? who sells it?

Hello fellow Scooby owner. :)

Like the posts have said above, C55 (Cliff), is the North American source, and you truly should go through him. His level of customer-care is rapidly becoming legendary in this community. No joke.

By going through Cliff, you'll be guaranteed of an "as fresh off the line" piece as possible, rather than going through a secondary source. Also, you'll be guaranteed product warranty, too.

If you live in a state that's likely to see TruSpeed action, I would advise that you wait until the TruSpeed enabled control-box, the 7.05, is released, before making your purchase.

---

Overall, yes, the LI is undeniably "the best there currently is."

It's not just the GOL testing that proves this....in *every* independent hobbyist testing, so far, the LI has always taken top-honors.

If you live in a state/area known for unfavorable LIDAR hardware and/or unfavorable enforcement practices, then the LI is, truly, IMveryHO, the *only* way to go.

However, if you're budget-limited, *AND* your state/area sees selective use of LIDAR hardware that are a good match for some of the other jammers seen in the GOL testing report and also are known to be more favorable (i.e. "easier") in terms of enforcement setup, you can do very well with any of the other jammers that tested well, particularly if you're willing to utilize some measure of passive protection.

In terms of successful REAR jamming, though, I would recommend, in the context of the GOL's tested devices, only the LI or the LPP - a dedicated rear-facing dual-head setup.

Of these two, I'd strongly favor the LI, as its unique "Slim" rear head not only facilitates installation/mounting, but also offers unique design parameters best-suited for enhanced rear-enforcement scenario jamming performance.

----

djrams's suggested placement will work well, particularly if your Impreza/WRX/STi has the factory fogs (or aftermarket) in-place, and if you're running a front plate.

Without consideration for either of those two, consider moving the up into the upper grill section - displacing the heads as far outboard towards each headlight unit as possible, while maintaining leveling and aiming considerations. Such a setup should give you increased center-mass as well as headlight and greenhouse protection - but if you have the former considerations, I do think that dj's recommendation may work better.

how much is it to buy an LI set-up? I have a white BMW 335. so whatever set-up you would recommend for it.

I am thinking of a dual head set up myself, and possibly a rear head eventually. It's a major PITA to route wires from the trunk lid forward, hence my reservations.

Perhaps 2 units, each flanking the plate would work. I thought about the grill w/ a vertical installation, but have all but ruled that out as the slats are angled (not vertical) which would again make installation more trouble than its worth. I've had good results with my current LE30 units so installed and can't see how the LI could do worse.

Any other suggestions/ideas?

Hi Jws,

Each of the rear sensors can be mounted vertically on either side of your plate or horizontally on either side of the top of your plate.
As to the front, there is nothing wrong about a conventional mounting scenario under the bumper.

Will this location protect from plate shots as well?

[AirMoore]

/\ /\ /\ Easily IMHO.


The only concern I would even think of having is the outter (top right) part of your HL assemblies (G4 is your fix for that), but not the LP, that would be optimally protected with that mounting position.

[djrams80]

With that mounting, the plate shots are a gimme JTG, as long as the heads are mounted properly, meaning straight and level. I think you will get JTG on headlight shots also, but I am not quite as confident about that. I'd give it an 80% chance at JTG at the headlights. Veil G4 would certainly assure JTG at the headlights, but I doubt it's necessary.

[g-zona]

Bubbles out and you'll have JTG on HL also without VEIL!

[TSi+WRX]

Will this location protect from plate shots as well?

As I've mentioned in our PMs, I believe that location (slightly below, as you said, for there is a piece of plastic, not visible in the picture, there) is ideally suited to protecting the plate (as well as the fog-lights, if you've got those on your vehicle).

However, it may compromise performance somewhat, with regard to greenhouse coverage (including sideview mirrors).

There's, unfortunately, no way to know if using either that position or the previously proposed upper-grill location (which should bias protection more for the headlights as well as the upper greenhouse), without first-hand testing in controlled circumstances.

"Academically" speaking, either of the two proposed protections should provide you at least "effective JTG," if not "true-JTG."
