ok what i dont understand is LI sells two units for the rear. however the zr4 comes with 2 units for the front and 1 for the rear. what i dont understand is, how come escort sells their package with 1 for the rear and the more powerful LI needs 2? if the single unit in the rear isnt enough then i dont get why escort is giving people false hope thinking the 1 unit is enough?
Because that's escort. /threadQuote:

The rear shifter on the ZR4 is much bigger then the 2 front, about the size of the 2 front shifters put together. Not that it does any better but that's the way it was designed, also designed to fit under/over the license plate.Quote:

In the end the LI with there 2 head rear/front design not only gives more flexible coverage but it is more likely to jam than the ZR4's under most circumstances. Best set up is 3 front and 3 rear.
From what I've heard the ZR4 rear shifter is next to useless, it can't jam a penlight, much less a real lidar gun. :) That's probably because it's a different design (slimmer) than the front heads, so its optical properties aren't optimal, as well as the fact that it functions as a single head, not as 2. It's only wider so that it can be fit to the license plate screws. Mount a single LI head centered over your rear license plate and see how many PTs you get with that setup as well.
LI heads are not only more effective, but with 2 small ones you can put them in more optimal locations in the rear than you can with the single large ZR4 head.

I say me and Eric from tx would disagree with the front ...hes got thousands of dollars in saves...Quote:

And I have also I agree they aren't the best they work doable on some cars front that is

At longer ranges (from the back) raw jamming power becomes more important because of the highly retro-reflecting rear reflectors, again the high power LI would be my only choice.
