    Unfortunately my new phone came with ios8. It looks like the update + forgetting all my bluetooth devices seems to have fixed the issues i was having with the BT module. My understanding is that using the switch to go between the bluetooth and control module will reset the system, effectively causing it to stop jamming correct? My main concern is the ability to kill jamming without relying on the phone OS/bluetooth connection, although the ideal situation would still be both operating at the same time. Any of you guys by chance know someone I can hook up with in SoCal to test my installation? Also would love to hear any info on suggested front placement for a w212 mercedes e class (2010 e63). Currently I have my sensors in the very top grill space as close to the headlights as I could get them, but I've also seen suggestions of moving them lower and closer to the middle. Is there any way to see the IR light being generated? I tried using my phone camera and I think it was filtering all of it out.

    Use the LID Time to automatically kill at a safe time of around 4 seconds. If you are still concerned buy a $2 switch and put it inline with your +12v positive wire. If you kill the +12v you kill the system completely.

    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.

    So much this!

    I actually enjoyed having everything at the flick of a switch so much:

    I ran an LEO Switchbox in my other Honda Civic for the longest time, one of my favorite tools ever. If I still had a spot for it, I'd absolutely use it.



    IIRC (from right to left): Passenger side to driver side (if you're wondering)

    Switched source for car-amplifier (kill amp/subs at an instant)
    CB-1
    CB-2/Whistler 3600
    Radar Detector (Windshield)
    Jammers (F&R) Would kill both at the same time
