    I agree! But I have to get on it and install it this weekend because after the pacemaker installation it will be several weeks or more before I can get back into the swing of things

    Just order my rear sensor. Going to gamble on getting just one. Back of BMW is not a large target, so I "believe" a single sensor dead center of the rear will be better than nothing at all. Testing of course will tell.

    GASpeed, you up for some testing in a couple of weeks? I will come to you.

    One sensor will not offer appropriate protection.

    you will need two. No question about it. You might as well do it right the first time.

    I am well aware that a single sensor is not "good enough", but for right now it is better than nothing at all. Plus, I am curious just for fun to see how good it is after testing. I am certain there will be PT.

    My wife is not very fond of this hobby, so I have to buy parts in waves, as to not draw too much attention.

    In the single head rear test in your blog, the ALP actually performed pretty well, considering the size of the tail end of the test car and the pearl white color.

    My BMW rear is pretty low profile and black in color. It will be interesting to see a test. I am willing to be guinea pig for everyone else's benefit.

    You have rather large and reflective tail lights. IMO one jammer head will give you a false sense of security.

    I don't disagree. Fortunately I am really not too much a speeder and between Waze and EscortLive, I would say 98% of the time I see the cops in my area before I am surprised by them. No doubt I will eventually get 2 for the rear, could only purchase 1 right now due to funds... One will still give me more protection than I have now.
