First LI save!!!

[Hakkinen]

First save!Yesterday, was travelling down I-5 south from WA to Portland, OR Coming up on overpass, 90 in a 70. Beatutiful day, barely any traffic, just cruising. Had my music up. V1 one goes off, Laser alert. I was startled at first, I thought my LI didn't go off. Hit the brakes, turned the music down and heard LI voice alert. Then looked up and saw and unmarked red charger sitting on top of overpass. Side shot, he was sitting above the opposite lane. Now, please don't hit me too hard, everything happened fast, plus I couldn't heard LI alert at first, thought I was toast, so I froze up and didn;t kill the jammer My LI speaker is inside my gear shifter column, you can hear it normally, but when the music is playing you can barely hear it I am going to relocate it and just put it somewhere inside, so I could actually hear it I am sorry guys, I didn't realize it Won't happen again

Nerves will get us every time!

Good work in having both a V1 and LI. Great combination.

A thought about hearing the LI alerts. I bought a small Escort remote speaker for my CB, and another for the LI, because of the very situation you're describing. For the LI, I also installed a volume control I bought from Radio Shack, and left the internal volume on the LI all the way up. Now I have a speaker closer to my ears, on which I can control the volume. Works pretty well.

I agree with the need for the external speaker, and have an Escort as well that I plan to install. Hopefully it will also help me "understand" the enunciations, as through the LI speaker I can barely understand her.

I travel SEA/PDX on I-5 every week, and in good weather you see lots of WSP with laser.

I use the Escort external speaker for my LI. It's loud as f**k! I can hear it with the top down, music blasting at triples.

Thank you for the info, guys! Will definitely get the speaker! The only thing is I am mechanically challenged, no joke I could put a brand new computer together with my eyes closed, but give me a screwdriver and have me do something on a car, I will probably puncture my ear drum instead How hard would that be to install one? And where do I plug one in?

It's very easy. Hookup 4 wires and move a jumper.

Four wires where exactly? You mean to hardwire it instead of using the 12v plug?

2 speaker wires and two 12 volt power supply wires.

HA! Yesterday after reading the forums, I picked up 2 of the speakers. I was going to get the third one but figured I won't get greedy
