    Default x50 and zr3

    i have a new dodge hemi with the blue x50 and was considering adding the shifter to it. with a front end the size of a peterbuilt and lots of reflective surfaces - will i be wasting my money? what can i expect to pay for the unit and installation?

    What color, not that it's going to make a huge difference, but yeah I would look at other alternatives. Wait to next week to see what results will bring.

    Got a pic?

    I would go blinder m-40 + veil and you should be good!

    Good choice with the x50 :wink:

    Don't think the shifter would be a good choice even with all three heads up front!

    i wanted to go with the escort for the compatability with my detector. i was concerned about the size of this front end and the effectiveness of this unit.
    i ended up with this x50 because of valentine not knowing what they were doing with my order. i hate it when N0-customer service cant find your info even after they confirm your order. imagine that - so off to best buy for another x50. what was i thinking to begin with. i bought the blue this time and truly love it. now i have to have something more. ZR3 anybody?
    and can i install this and still keep the warranty? i am a certified car stereo installer. i cant find any mention of it on there website. it cant be that difficult.

    It's a no brainer to install. The compatability is nice but the effectiveness for your giant truck is going to be questionable, even if you put a few heads on the front. You will always have some uncertainty. Especially if targeted under 500 feet. Wait to see what the GOL testing reviels for comparison purposes, the answers will be much clearer.

    I have an 03 Expedition with a factory navigation unit, is there any chance that you can find out two wires that I am looking for? No one else can as it appears that I would have to order a Helm electrical manual for $62 to find out.
    The wire that will not allow an address to be entered while vehicle is moving.
    The telephone mute wire (button equipped but does nothing) want to hard wire into V1 muting.

    I have an 05 Z71 and run my X50 up high on my visor. A great unit. For laser however it is no better than anything else.
    For Laser I run the Lidatek dual with the transponders on either side of the tag. Look for my recent post in the laser jammer threads.

    As for the new ZR1 blowing all else away, well all I can say is my Lidatek has been awsome. No veil or anything else, just the Lidatek. I do not know what else I could ask of it.

    Good luck.

    "The wire that will not allow an address to be entered while vehicle is moving.

    V1 - im not quite sure what you expect to achieve with your first question. can you explain further? are you going to be entering addresses while you drive? i dont think i'll be helping you with that one . especially not until i determine where you are so that i can avoid that area.

    as far as the mute wire goes - i would first suggest that you determine if your particular model supports that function. (no support - no wire). i would refer you to the owners manual. after which i would be happy to research it for you.
