My first HPDE at Thunderhill 5 mile. I bought the cheap helmet just to try it. I was thinking of placing mine where yours are but making sure. I read the dmv code and it said 3 and under heads is a citation with four or more a misdemeanor

T-Hill is a great/fun track. HPDEs are a slippery slope -- ask me how I know :whoo:. I have a bunch of friends that track there regularly.Quote:

I received my sensors today and I went and bought a 3rd one. Should I place this in the front or is it okay to have a single one in the rear?

Never expect one head to protect a whole end of a car. You need a minimum of 2 heads on each end that you want to protect.Quote:

I meant jammer.

I do not know California law in detail but if you use the system wisely and use the auto kill functions no one would even be suspicious if you immediately slowed and gave them a reading in even 4-5 seconds.Quote:

And...if you're running BT connect, there's no controller to the parking sensors anywhere on the dash, etc..Quote:

So parking sensors do not work with BT
They do...if you're connected with your app.Quote:

I know they are not completely even (brackets came loose) but how is this location? Should I move them higher? FWIW they are exactly 22" apart (Outside to outside). Sorry for the cell phone pic.... Attachment 5036
You're limited in moving them higher unless willing to cut the upper grill. Why not have it Tested first before doing any cutting elsewhere. Make sure you have both Transponders pointed straight ahead when you fix the loose brackets. Following the curvature of the body is a no-no.
I am not opposed to cutting (I would buy another OEM grill first) and I would love to have it tested. Being in VA is there anywhere close that could assist me?Quote:

Also, my front grill is attached to the hood. Does this cause any problems?

Can all 5 sensors be utilized on the front of a 2017 Camaro?
NO !Quote:

RedRocket, thanks for the fast reply. I am a long time user of LI HP, and have had all four sensors on the front of a camaro for years and never ever had a punch through at any range or side angle, and upwards shots. That was a total of 8 lasers emitting during an encounter. Some may say overkill, but not really. I bought a new camaro and want a setup that will perform the same whether it is considered overkill by some. I am ready to purchase, and just needing some info before this happens. What would happen if all 5 were installed on the front?
ALP Jammers do not operate the same as old jammers. All you need is 3 sensors and adding more will decrease and not improve performance. We have large trucks running ALP'S with a Triple with JTG testing.

I am only concerned with front protection on this 2017 SS camaro. So a 3 head install is better than 5 head on the front? Next question is what site is the best to order this from? There are several sites, and I do not want to get burned. I will purchase 2 units. Thanks.Quote:

Any updates??

I'm not aware of any commercially available at this time in the USA. I saw some from EU some time ago, but their LPs are much different sizes(dimensions) than here. The only other ones I've seen are 3D printed by professional installers for their clients.Quote:
