Welcome. Good luck with the cutting! The dremel is your friend, use it carefully though.

Be sure to test your setup when you are done. I hope the M25s will cover your ride

Welcome. Way to man up and start cutting to get countermeasures installed...Before you cut, are you sure the M25 will cover you?

Good question. There's nothing like cutting up your grille only to find that you need a different jammer that is a different size. I would temporarily mount the Blinder with 3m tape and angle brackets for some testing before I started cutting.

thanks for the welcome and the advice. talked with BLINDER today and they told me that there was no way to upgrade the M25 to M27 except to buy a whole new system, so that really screws up plans since it was looking like a CPU was the only change needed. I believe i saw on another site that there was an upgrade package for about $200?? Can anyone clear this up?? Thanks.

WAIT, before you cut your grille, would you mind posting a picture of your vehicle so we can recommend jammer head placement?

this is the planned opening in grill. it is within 18 inches of headlight and is about the only place it can go without removing the the entire front section to get gehind the grill. brackets already made. appreciate the feedback.

I'm not very confident in that location because of your fog lights. I'd go lower, down towards the bumper if I were you.

Blinder is telling you the truth. The M27 heads and processor are both completely different from the M25. There is no way to upgrade it. And the differences in performance are serious. You'll need at least an M27 to protect that car.

ok thanks stealth talker. I am thinkin if the cop shoots me at 1000ft. and that results in a 3ft. cone of beam then wouldn't that cover my foglights too if the diode is within 3ft.?? are you saying that they would be aiming at the fogs instead of the headlamp?? I agree after boning up on the M27 that it looks like I will have to dig out the $ for those instead.Well I'll have all winter to put those in and maybe drop the 25's to the lower grill.ugh! Thanks again.

I'm saying three things:

1. You never know where they are aiming.

2. It doesn't matter where they are aiming. It only matters where they are actually hitting, which are two different things.

3. Most shots are at well under 1000 feet.

Not a bad idea at all. With that big fat bumper between them, you shouldn't have a problem with cross-talk interference between the two systems. I would be a lot more comfortable with that.

You still have to think about your tail end, though. For that, an LI is really the only answer.
