    No new dragons but if he is using the wrong ports he will have issues. For some reason several installers don't read the instructions and use the F1 & F3 or if using 3 they are not using the center in F2.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    We tested several cars at the last meet and everyone assured me their setups were done correctly but as soon as they started shooting the dragon guns I could immediately tell 3 systems were incorretly installed and I even noted on the sheets that they had port errors.

    Tom this is the install on the z06 that you guided me through several months ago. I just went back and checked from the controller and it said connected sensors f2,f1,r2,r1 so I'm sure the sensors are in these ports. Are these not the correct ports? I'm using the latest update from July.

    Post pictures of the vehicle here and I can assist. I am not creating more accounts on more forums.

    Also just because sensors show Front & Rear sensors attached it does not mean dealer is not mixing front and rear ports. There can be lots of issues with wiring if care is not taken.

    I just pulled the undertray on the dash. The wires from the front sensors are connected to f1 and f2. The wires from the rear sensors are connected to r1 x and r2. I wanted to re-check them. When I was doing the install you told me to make sure that I hooked them up that way and that's what I did. The car is bright yellow and the grill is black so I'm having a hard time getting photo's that show up well the sensors are level and don't follow the contours of the car.

    Interesting read on the 'Vette Forum.
    You need to educate those guys w/ a crash course on proper "JTK" etiquette...especially that noob from Nebraska who was sweatin' Troopers there b/c Laser defense is illegal in Wheat/Corn Country.

    I also took a look at "badhabit wb" install for you & you may pass on I see his problem. His Dual AL-P Sensors are spaced to far apart (I measured ~26-27") & much to wide spaced for ANY D.E.T. Lidar. I state this as from personal experience as a Shooter & have done the same to others who didn't do a proper install. I would also agree w/ you about both Sensors appearing to be pitched outward in the pix I looked at. My most recent IPT at any distance was a Black Tesla S w/ a Dual AL-P w/ 27 1/2" spacing...I sliced thru him like a hot knife thru warm butter !

    N.C. dude can keep a Dual by moving his closer together (22-24" max separation) or space them even wider but then add a 3rd Sensor in CM.
