Another mount question

**nitro** · 08-02-2006, 09:52 PM

I had an installer install my m-20 blinder last week and he said he had done about 50 jammer installs in the past so i took it he knew what he was doing, but i am concerned he mounted these way too low. Did he do a good job with the mount location or is there better ideas for this car. In the picture it shows i do not have a front plate but i do now, it also has laser shield on it. The yellow is of course where he mounted them...

ohh thats a tough car ... i dont know what i would have done ... i think maybe the top grills would have been better that does really seem kinda low for them...maybe a m40 would have been better?? this way 2 up top and 2 lower ones... someone else will chime in im sure

I too had few options, if any, with mounting the Blinder M-20X. As you can see, the lower grill was cut and the units mounted to fit as recommended in the installation instructions. This was done by a professional installer. I thought of installing them in the grill but the louvers are sloped up into the engine compartment making installation impossible without major butchering of the grill and I won't deface the car to that extreme (no pun intended). On another subject, my wife just got an 06 ML500 and I've read that her SUV should have the M-40 up front. Anyone out there want to chime in on if she can get by with the M-20 or does her larger front profile (the truck, not my wife!) dictate the use of the M-40?

yea the top grill on my car after looking at the modules almost look like they would not fit. So that would leave only the bottom grill, yea the bottom grill they had to cut out part of the platic grill as well to get them mounted.

here is my .02

i think y'alls blinders are too low... its not protecting the headlights very well

first of all, 2 very nice cars so i dont know if i would veil any of them, i didnt veil my passat, i just gave up on it

acura:
-this is hard, putting it up on the grill might put the jammers too close to each other but that would protect the grill and most of the headlights
- if you had plates and fogs(and 2 more heads) , that current position is good

Benz
- you have no plates as well, i am not sure if that install is good, it leaves the fogs wide open and those huge headlight unprotected
- if you must keep it down there i say move it further out
- it would be best to add 2 more heads where i highlighted

i am new to this hope it helps

This is what i did with mine (RED), i have no plates as well and VEILED the headlights
- now the heads seem too close
- green might have been too low

someday i will test em

There was just no room whatsoever in the grills (green and red) you indicate and that was where I wanted to have them mounted but as I said, they will not fit there without xtreme modifications to the grill vanes. The other spot (yellow) you indicated near the fogs is where the brake cooling ducts are and they cannot be blocked! I'll see how they play. I got hit yesterday in a well known Laser Trap. They use an unmarked Dodge Magnum, and when I got lit up, the alert went off, I got my speed down to the 30 MPH post speed limit from 45 MPH and shut it down. He just looked at me with that, "why didn't I get a lock on this car for the first few seconds" look that I use to get got I had a Lidatek LE-10. I can only assume it worked an that was less than 500 feet easy. I feel that at greater ranges, placement is not as important as having them at all and perhaps when I get closer to the target gun, he will have a better chance of locking on to my speed but based on all the videos I've seen of the Blinder, I think anywhere within reason on ones car will give adequate protection at least until you get your speed down and shut down jamming. As to Veil, the C55 has HID so that's a no-no.

I think my current mount set up is good for the front license plate, I am just a little concerned with it because of the distance from the jammers to the headlights, seems kinda far. I do have a front plate now, was just living on the edge for 2 weeks because in my state a front plate is required. I need to pull over a police officer and ask if i can borrow his laser gun for 30 minutes. I wanna target my headlights at far and short distances to see what happens.

Nitro:

I'm pretty sure we are both fine. It may, a BIG may, become an issue at shorter distances to the gun as the reflected signal may overcome the transmitted signal from The Blinder but I think not. Only way to tell is to summon up the help of the cop in The Dodge Magnum.
