    Default Installing LI

    I just pulled the trigger on a Quad LI for my Silver 350Z. (Hear that Cliff? Just ordered this afternoon!) I don't want to do the install myself so I'm looking now for some good shops. The problem is that there are some great audio shops around, but not too many that seem to have much experience with laser jammers. The local Car Toys may be my best bet since they sell and install the Escort 9500ci and ZR4. I'm thinking that they skill from installing those systems would transfer to installing the LI as long as I keep a close eye on them.

    Thoughts?

    Best thing is to do it yourself

    Its really pretty easy. The most time time consuming part for me was deciding the placement of the sensors and then leveling them. I didnt really care for the brackets supplied with the kit. They seemed a little soft and easy to bend, so I made my own. I will do a little write-up soon with pics. I dont trust anyone to work on my vehicles, or anything else for that matter, unless its just something that I cant do. You will get more satisfaction from doing it yourself and probably save a little cash in the process. If you lived close by I would give you a hand with it.

    If you want it to be even easier, buy the cheetah wireless kit... no drill or running cables through the firewall

    I hear you well! Any Automobile Stereo Electronics Installation Center familiar with Remote RADAR Detectors and Laser Countermeasures installations can install the LI for you.

    When it comes out. Although on the website already, the Cheetah LI wireless kit hasn't actually been released yet.

    If you're going to get it installed at a shop, just be sure to get placement advice here first. While most shops do a nice neat job, their weakness tends to be in understanding jammers well enough to intelligently place the heads. You'll want to tell them exactly where you want the heads, and emphasise the particulars of levelling and aligning them, and not over-recessing them.
