Does anyone have one of these (the mx20 extreme)? Is it effective? Any installation instructions?

Thanks,

 

Yes, I have it installed on my current turbo and have had also on the last bunch of cars including a couple of NSX's S4 and a S500.

One time in band camp...lol...ok I was in Dallas doing about 85, came over a hill and there was PoPo with his laser gun, doh! I got off the gas, but the V1 was dweedle-dweedle-ing, I was for sure busted....as I passed I saw the popo shaking the laser gun like it was broken. Yes, it works!

Here is a trick I learned, after install, look through a handycam and you should see the emitters...well... emitting.

I had the emitters installed about license plate height on each side in the radiator inlets... perfect hiding places. I havent real world tested them in thr turbo, but its just a matter of time.

 

Yes they work and are illegal in several states.

 

Works great, and next to impossible to find without ripping the car apart if you're crafty with the install. Some of the better locations I've seen are inside of aftermarket "fog light" housings.

 

I have the M20 on my 997s and M3 and it has saved me over 10 times on each car. Its amazing!!

 

I did not think laser jammers were illegal - but radar jammers are.

 

if i'm not mistaken, both laser and radar "active" jammers are illegal. federal felonies under the fcc. however, it's only an issue if you get caught

 

Only the radar jammers are illegal, laser is legal!

 

Radar jammers are illegal at the federal level, as they violate just about every FCC rule in the book about unregulated transmitters.

However, the FCC doesn't (and can't) regulate the transmission of light, so laser jammers are legal at the federal level.

Laser jammers are illegal in some states through local legislation, however. Specifically: Nebraska, Minnesota, Utah, California, Oklahoma, Virginia, Colorado, Illinois and DC.

Ah, Virginia. Walk down the street with an open-carry Mac-10: Legal! Buy a laser jammer: Meet bubba!

 

From what I recall, and I've been out of the country for a while so this might be old info... but radar is regulated by the FCC, lasers by the FDA of all people, making laser jammers legal. Now the bull**** charge of obstruction of justice....

edit: Simba snuck that post in before I posted...ymmv.

 

I have the Escort SRX in my Porsche and the Beltronics "shifters" in my Touareg. Both have saved me on occasions.

Though freaked out initially when the laser alert cries out, you see a police car staked out and you're flying by well above the speed limit, it's a great feeling when the jammers activate and the police car stays put.

 

So what's a good price on an M20 ?

 

have one it's intergrated display fits in the bat wing' three units in the front spioler and one above the rear frame saved me countless times cost about $1300,00 as i remember can be had without defuser for about $800.00... on the flat gives you about a mile warning..

 

Can you be specific on models and what options are required?? Thanks.

 

Looks like I can get an M20 system for around $250.
Seem like a good price?
