X50 Upgrade - add ZR3 or Replace w/ 9500ix

[Fastgt2003]

I just placed my order for the ZR3 Blowout sale last night. Wifes gonna be mad But Ill use the same thing she says to me all the time. "But honey... it was on sale"
Im just wondering how is it going to hook up? I already have my X50 hardwired high and the smartcort on the column. What will I need to change in the wiring?
Ill also have to find a place for the head unit in the cab thats right.

250 is the price of one ticket pretty much depends on the area It saved me from a 20mph over 2days ago here that's 170.00

I still get scared for a few secs after then i'm they must of didn't get me

Cops pick the nicer sports cars because I know for a fact out of a pack of 15 or more cars he shot me

I showed him

Get the ZR3,mine works fine!

put all three heads up front in a triangle formation

Would this actually help?

Depending on the car, yes it does help. The problem with this is obvious, zero rear protection, although admittedly, the rear shifter is not all that effective anyhow.

You mean.. just having one rear head is not effective... Umm.. though I've never, that I'm aware of, been hit from behind before and I'm, by nature, always checkin as I drive past over-pass, merging lanes etc... though it would be nice to have a peace of mind... like in the dark of night. But say, if you were hit from behind.... what do you do? Hit the brake? That would be rather obvious to the LEO I'd think.... just thinking....

I've actually gotten to the point where my rear ZR4 sensor does a pretty good job, by completely Veiling my tail lights and third brake light. I can't go so far to say I'd trust it to save me, but if I had to rely on it, I think I have a pretty good shot at beating a laser toting LEO.

I got a ticket from a LEO shooting laser at the rear of cars from an overpass. He beat my SRX's rear ZR3 shifter.

I personally use my E-brake, but this subject is rather hotly debated around here what the best course of action is in this situation.

What's the going consensus regarding single rear shifter head effectiveness... do they actually shift or are they essentially a sensor? Should one actually forgo rear shifting protection altogether, unless you can install 2 heads, and concentrate on the front end?

[MEM-TEK]

The single rear shifter tends to work okay at distances beyond a couple of hundred feet. The big problem with any single rear shifter head is the corner-cube reflectors which are built into the rear tail light housings. You could apply Veil to the rear tail lights, but this could unacceptably dim your rear tail lights in addition to being a violation of state law. You could, however, Veil just the non-illuminated corner-cube reflectors on the tail light housings. This should dramatically improve the performance of any single rear shifter.
