    Here is a video I found of a guy that rigged up the Laser Interceptor to work with the Cheetah wireless on/off remote

    That is a hybrid that someone made up, using a bluetooth receiver. That has nothing to do with Cheetah.

    The other issue as Interceptor TW said is cost, an LI wireless kit might never come to market.

    Perhaps I can better address this question as to the LI BT (Bluetooth) option Market Viability.
    Unlike the Cheetah Wireless, LI BT Technology is much more complex, having to both carry not just simple RF like Cheetah to activate the basic control functions found on PASS, but, unlike PASS, must also carry a data stream to enable the seamless transfer of the LI Voice Alerts to the user. This means a more complex device and more expensive components. Our practical Taiwanese partner believes that potential buyers who see a Cheetah PASS Wireless system, albeit it less sophisticated than the LI BT option, being retailed for $175.00 and indeed for only $75.00 with a combined PASS purchase, won't pay more for the more sophisticated LI BT option. (BTW, I paid $250.00 to have my LI installed on my C55 and $275.00 for my wife's ML500 SUV) I disagree and feel we would. I strongly believe that LI Users, like cell phone users who pay far more for a BT Headset option for their cell phone as opposed to a wired headset that runs from their ear down a wire to their phone sitting on the seat or on the consoles, will indeed pay more for this BT option. With that said, let's see how our Taiwanese partner fares in the prototype's final market price after he completes it's real world testing.

    Thank you,

    Cliff - C55

    That's a nice price. I got quoted $400 to $650 for the mounting of my laser protection. (Ended up going for the 650 since they give me a nice warranty).

    No offense $650 for installation is crazy, a car alarm is much more complicated to install and you get a 2 way alarm and installed for $650 total

    Yeah, the same place just did my window re-tinting, actually.

    That's what happens when you go with a dealer install. $$$$$

    Most high end vehicles are a B@tch to work on. For years, Lexus vehicles have used "sand-filled firewalls" as extra sound deadening. Combine that with extra engine panels and uber stiff carpet and also in-accessible grommets, and you have a 6+ hour install on your hands. You cannot simply drill through the firewall and add a new grommet. Not to mention if the tech brakes a panel while installing the jammer, the new panel will probably cost more to replace than the install and whatever he makes in a week. So at 110-135 bucks an hour, the $650 charge is justified. You gotta pay to play.

    I think Cliff had a serious hook-up. Those prices are extremely fair.
