LI Wireless available?

Hi,

I pretty much need to have a wireless installation because I'm leasing. I know that I can get a wireless configuration for LPP but does anyone know if Laser Interceptor / LI has a wireless configuration?

Thanks!

Before I found a hole in my firewall I just had the wires run through my door. Not the most elegant solution, but it worked.

Will it be an accessory kit to the standard LI, or will it be included? And will there be an option for rear-mounted heads, or will those still need to be hardwired?

AFAIK it will be addon... there is no way to attach front and rear sensors to one wireless unit since they are on opposite sides of the car ;)
there is a possibility to use two wireless sets, one for front and other for rear sensors... :rolleyes:

I assume the wireless kit will connect directly to the battery. If so, then a rear version would require some splicing to run power from the tail lights, correct?

I am confused....I thought there WAS NOT a wireless kit for the LI? :confused:

There are several current Maruhama models that use solar power. I seriously want to try one of these bad boys. I think the CH-888 is their flagship model. Sadly, these are not approved for use in the US. I'd hate to be breaking any laws with my RD:

so i guess if I'm in the market and I'm leasing, I should move forward with the LPP since it has wireless...

Does anyone know when the beta phase for LI wireless will be completed?

I would not hold your breath....this has been on going for months.....cheetah reports LI never sent them a jammer to develop a wireless kit for.....

Really? I've seen a video somewhere comparing it to the V1 and it looked pretty sensitive. Damn Youtube tricking me again!:mad: This video:

it's not cheetah wireless kit... it's beeing developed by part of LI team ;)
ivan did contact cheetah about getting their wireless kit to work with LI, but there is a problem because cheetah cannot support all possible voice skins for LI (users can make their own skins) :D:D:D
i am not allowed to say much more, but there is working prototype and it sohouldn't take too long until finished product hits the road ;)

I would ask this in the Cheetah forum, but as far as I know LI never sent final production unit to Cheetah, but that was a few months back.

As for using the wireless kit with other jammers it would work like this, the front 2 heads will wire to the kit which stays under the hood and plugs into the LI interface.

As for the rear heads you do not need 2 kits, but here is the tricky part. You will need to wire them from the rear to the front, either under the car and away from moving parts and heat back to the LI interface under the hood or run it into the interior of the car say through the trunk, then passenger compartment through the firewall and into the LI interface.

Then the wireless kit will transmit the signals to the receiver in the cabin or through the Cheetah Mirror.

Great Job Team LI looks like the innovation continues. I think the wireless kits will really help the value of the LI. Even though it's a addon it will let users who don't have much auto savvy be able to install it themselves.

I think the Cheetah team deserves the credit for wireless kits, but there will be no progress if LI doesn't send the final production units.

Apparently, this is a misconception about the newly developed LI Proprietary Blue-tooth device currently now undergoing final testing by LI Team Taiwan. It is NOT wireless as a strict definition of the term. The Cheetah unit is WIRELESS. As such, it is both incompatible with our LI and much more basic in it's architecture. As the PASS only needs to make a noise indicating to the user it is active, LI is much more sophisticated in that is utilizes Voice Alerts. This type of data, if you will, cannot be conveyed via a simple wireless device but requires the newer, Blue-Tooth Technology. For this reason, Cheetah's wireless device is technologically incompatible with LI and we never further sought their assistance (read sent them our LI) in the development our LI Blue-Tooth device.

Thank you,

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the wireless kit? If you have to run wires from the rear to the front (whether under the car or through it) you might as well just run the wires into the car from both ends and leave the wireless out of the equation.

Seems to me like you either need two wireless kits in this instance (or some new wireless kit that can accommodate front and rear heads). Or in very rare circumstances where running wires from the rear under the car is easier that going through the firewall (or if its a lease).

Perhaps I can help you with a more concise explanation.

No, it does not. The sensor's wires would still be present but they would be instead attached directly to the Blue-tooth device (which then, in-turn, coveys the data to the CPU) located next to or very proximal to the sensors as opposed to having to be run all the way to the CPU normally located within the vehicle's cockpit.

Yes, your assumption is exactly correct. If you have a QUAD LI set up for front and rear vehicle protection, you would indeed need two Blue-tooth devices and again, same installation scenario applies, the wires would still be present but they would be instead attached to the Blue-tooth device located next to or very proximal to the sensors as opposed to running all the way to the CPU.

I hope this helps to better explain how the new LI Blue-tooth device works.

Thank you,

I was actually thinking of the Cheetah wireless unit when I wrote that. But it makes sense.

Personally I would give up the gun alert ID's for integration with the Cheetah GPS Mirror...

Here is a video I found of a guy that rigged up the Laser Interceptor to work with the Cheetah wireless on/off remote

A video of his wireless LI installed, tested by the Laser Tester by G-Zona :cool:
The BT receiver is just on the bumper, near the heads, the operator and the tester.

Of course, it's not the "LI BT device" !
It's the same guy and the same installation as in the video posted by CrazyVOLVOrob.
As we can see in the first video, there is a BT device for the sound.
