ESCORT Laser Shifter ZR4 Installation

Has anyone installed the Cincinnati Microwave Shifter ZR4 on an R56 S?

I am looking to attempt it this weekend but the install looks like a P.I.A.

I guess the answer is no so here is a short video of the install I completed this weekend.




This install took about nine hours to complete (I like to take my time and do it right the firts time).

Now if I could only find a LIDAR gun to test with before I go up against "the real deal".

Anyone have a LIDAR gun available in the Connecticut area?

I will be completing the "JOEY MOD" next weekend to reduce my IR return from the headlights.

Just a follow up on this. I was hit on the rear sensor twice on Saturday and no ticket or pullover ensued!

Great job on the install. Ha ha, I take my time too.
I'm on the 3rd weekend of putting in a valentine one.

(wasn't satisfied with the way it wasn't level
when I glued the mount to the windshield).

Update:

Laser Jammer - 6 laser gun - 0

I also added the Escart Radar Detector to combine the "Drive Smarter" technology into a single system.
