Integrated system

[patbaker82]

Hi all. There is so much information on this site, so I have to start some where. I'm essentially in the market for a radar system that will also have laser jamming. Cost really isn't a concern, but as a specific I would like a system that's completely integrated as one unit.

In review of the Escort 9500ci, it looks like a great system and reviews seem to be good, except for the jamming unit. Blinder looks to be good for the jamming system, but not sure what can integrate, if anything.

With that said, can anyone make any recommendations in terms of a complete system like the 9500ci? Even if I have to a la cart the system, I would like all the components to work together

If this is not possible, are there any recommendations for systems (radar/laser) that would remain independent operationally?

Thanks!

first of all what type of car do u drive and where do you drive the most (highway or city)

[patbaker82]

I drive a 2009 BMW 335i coupe ( black ). I mostly drive on highways, but with some city driving in between.

I would get a V1 and LI Dual. If you want all out protection can also get LI Quad.

If you have any questions about LI contact cliff.

Why is it being integrated so important? For the best performance the laser king is LI and for radar performance it is 9500ci/Bel Sti-R.

With any integrated system you are accepting a weak point somewhere in the system. It's like stereo equipment, it's easy to do the intergrated system but there is a compromise somewhere, versus buying seperate components. The 9500ci is, in my opinion, the best detector on the market. That being said the shifters are most certainly a weak point. The question you have to ask is it worth paying $500 extra (over the STi-R) for the GPS features and most likely a backup set of jammers. To get jammers as capable as the ci's radar detector you have to go with the LI's.

The V1 combined with the LI is the second best choice is my book.

Category, I see your point. With that said I've settled on the 9500ci and the quad LI to cover all my bases.

9500ci: Two heads in the front and one in the back
LI: Two heads in the front and two in the back

With the above setup, can anyone make any recommendations for the placement? I've attached two photos of the front and back of my car.

Thanks!

Here are my recommended installation locations:





Cliff - LI-USA/LI-UK

Thats great, thanks for that Cliff. I'll assume the green is the LI and the red is the zr4 stuff. With that said do you recommend that I obstain from placing the rear zr4 head? Also, I guess I can put the radar detector inbetween the zr4 heads from the 9500ci unit.

Nop. They're all LI, grenn in case you want to mount them vertical. Just go with red... horizontal > vertical
