    Default What pilot light do you use?

    I just want to see what people use.
    And if there is a reason why you use one lets hear it.

    Oh and is there any differents between Fast power on and Standard? But that it just starts up faster. Like does it still do its testing or what not?

    No difference, however Fast Start will take aproximately 30 seconds for the radar detector/laser jammer to start working, whereas it will be immediate after standard. (You can test this by parking in front of a walmart k-band false)

    I like the scanning dots. Its one thing that tells me its working. When mine froze up in the heat the dots stopped moving.

    x2. Before I sent my Rev 5 in for a refresh it kept freezing up, if it weren't for the scanning dot I would have never known.

    Its hard to change the modes when the thing is hidden deep inside my center console. Revision 2 on my install should be coming out soon and will make my current one look like ****! I'll be able to change modes after that, until then its stuck on Highway full.

    My speedometer is off by about 5%, so I use speed display, so I don't have to do any math once I get an alert.
