Enjoying the board and now looking to the experts here for a recommendation...
I have a 2004 Subaru WRX and am looking for personal preferences on the best Laser jammer system (Blinder, Lidatek or AntiLaser) and why? This would include not only performance but ease of installation. Also, if anyone has a WRX, where do you recommend mounting the transponders? No front license plate required here in FL.
Thanks for the help and information!
I've gotta run right now but I used to own an 04 WRX. I've got pictures of the install and I'll get ya some information you need.

Well, having emailed Lidatek a couple of times and having received no answers :x I think i'll be going with the Blinder M-20 Xtreme. I have always received good responses back from Blinder whenever emailed. :)
Customer service is everything!
Leon will PERSONALLY talk to you on the phone. He is the epitomy of customer serviceQuote:

I've gotta say I like the compactness of the LE-30, but the Blinder is proven "now". So do I go with the Blinder now or wait and hope all goes well with the LE-30 :?
Perhaps I spoke to soon about their customer service as they were probably short staffed or too busy to reply.
I had no clue they where having a problem with stalker. from our tests this weekend 78 feet is pretty good on Happy's car!
Go with the Blinder now M40 Xtreme and buy some Veil also

If you need protection now instead of after a lidar ticket. I would get the Blinder. Like you said it has been demonstrated to work with extensive testing over a couple of years. It is hard to beat the speeding ticket guarantee which can be extended up to three years and the replaceable lenses too. Whether you decide to go with the Lidatek later instead or not make sure you get Veil +/- Laser Shield to be as stealth as you can be. Once you get everything installed correctly you too will be enjoying the puzzled looks that I get from officers trying to clock me with lidar. :twisted:

My guess is they are trying to improve on what was pointed out in "Radartest.com's" jammer results...
I would sure like to see the SML results before I place the order :?Quote:
"The Lidatek LE-30 did well against all the lasers save for the Stalker laser—and that at very close range—as well as the Laser Atlanta when the latter was operating in Stealth Mode. That user-selectable option is intended to defeat laser jammers and does a pretty good job against some."
FL does have Laser Atlanta lidar guns with stealth mode...so your only option currently would be the Blinder M20 and you definitely need VEIL
I would have to recommend the blinder. It was the most consistant unit at our testing.
I dont know abotu you, but the lidatek is a hit or miss on jamming. When I am passing an officer, i sure as hell dont want to be asking myself if he got punchthough at 500 feet.
Blinder does its job, and it does it well.
Thanks guys for all the help...Blinder it is! :D
Good choice. Everyone keep in mind though that my unit only had to be modified with software while Outrun's had to be built from the ground up in a hurry. My numbers (after moving them to an optimal location) performed consistently.Quote:

Later if things get sorted out and there is another clear leader in the laser jammers I can always buy the newer unit. I think I will pickup an M-20 and see how it works out. Thanks again for the tests and recommendations.

Blinder was punching through at 1000+ feet and on the previous test on Steve's car it was getting punch throughs all over the board. Blinder is not a bad jammer, however I think it's unfair to say it's the best by a long shot.
