    What a awesome gift Paul. I want to be there for the testing if I can. 1 day I may be able to afford a ALP which is much needed now that I am in Gwinnett

    Good to hear you're back!
    I can't wait to install and test but unfortunately my heart has other speedbumps in front of it.
    Going back to cardio today again and may have a pacemaker to add to the spinal cord stimulator shortly. Ill be the bionic speeder soon!
    If they don't throw my ass in the hospital this afternoon I will try again tomorrow to install it.

    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.

    Merry Christmas to......ME

    Priorities!
    My wife knows that problems are related to inactivity and driving, at least for me, is FaR from an idle activity. She doesn't have the least concern about me being too relaxed behind the wheel!
    LI and ALP just help keep the heart rate UP. Maybe I can get them covered on my health insurance reimbursement.

    Installation in the rear of a convertible is proving to be a challenge.
    BRD, I need about 3 feet of extension. Where can I Order?

    Will order the cable today. Bad news is, I will have to unassemble everything I already did all the way back to the sensor, since the extension is between the existing cables, not added to the end.

    The trunk lid on a convertible BMW hinges both ways so you can use as a trunk AND so that the hard top can recess into the trunk area. I will upload a video later on how to overcome this obstacle. Seems no matter how hard I planned, I still came up short do to the complex running of the wire. Badnews is I had also already used the shrink tube at the original cable joint. Will have to undo a lot I've already done. Sigh....

    You can do a nice spiral lapping of quality black electrical to replace the heat-shrink tubing you've already used.Carefully done it will be just as waterproof as before.I never used the O.E.M. stuff AL provided & used the method stated here instead.

    Yeah, I used to do that back in my days as an audio installer for Circuit City. The real Pain in the ass is going to be cutting/stripping the heat shrink off. I also have to take several parts of the car apart AGAIN.... Argh!!!
