Hi, been lurking for a little bit here as I decided what I wanted to do in my new 2015 Ford Fusion. In my previous cord I used a Passport 8500 X50 with an Escort Live smartcord (the 8500 had respectable performance, Escort Live I didn't honestly find all that useful), but I decided to go for the Antilaser Priority with four heads, STI-R antenna, and ALPConnect. Just installed the front ALP sensors, control module, STI-R antenna, and ALPConnect over the holidays. Radar seems to be working great, parking detection seems to be working fine although I have yet to test other laser related functionality :friendly_wink:
The install was pretty difficult and I'm not a stranger to installing hardware in cars (very tight under the hood, the active grill shutters left almost no clearance for the ALP heads and radar antenna - barely fit with the front bumper cover put back on, several different interior pieces with odd fastening needed to be removed, and even then space was extremely tight). I only ended up installing the front sensors thus far, with the backup plan that if I decide against the rear sensors later, I can likely sell them around what I bought them for. Just keeping them in the box for now...
I'll lurk around and see what devleopments occur.
