Looking for advice before purchase of ALP.

[Jaypm777]

I have an Acura TL (2006) I only have a Escort 9500ix with Escort live. Haven't decided on 3 or 4 ALP sensors (2 in front, 1 or 2 in back). Not a lot of options to mount 2 due to the way the trunk lid is made. Looking at getting the Bluetooth module and possibly the GPS module. Also I was curious on what price I should expect for having it installed on this car. Any ideas or help anyone could give would be much appreciated. TIA

The 9500ix seems to work good on X, K and Ka bands but of course it's not great on laser. Would this detector work ok in conjunction with a ALP system?

no point in doing 1 sensor in the rear. at least 2 per side to protect you. your trunk lid is fine for 2 sensors. lots of people do it with similar ones. personally i would just get the hifi kit and not worry about the BT or GPS part.

Its super easy to do yourself but a good install will be a few hundred dollars.

No radar detector should be used for laser really because if its getting an alert on laser they already have your speed and youre toast anyway. with the ALP its not needed.

^^^^^What tawwwd Said^^^^^^ 2 Front/ 2 Rear and go with the HI-FI set, the speaker is very loud and everything is out of your way, it will give you detailed report on front/rear hit and what gun is being used!

What's your location? Not all states shoot in the butt.

If you go to the trouble of doing a rear install, you might as well do the wiring for two heads, since it is (in most cases) such a (dis-assembly/reassembly) )project. You don't want to do it twice (unless you're really bored and have a lot of time to kill ;-) )

As Rob ^^^^ mentioned, it depends where you drive.

Thanks a lot for the pics! I was gonna just put one in the back right above the LP, I thought the area would be to small for two sensors. If two there cover better than one then I'll go with two. So you guys saying no to the BT module don't use the ALP connect app on the iphone?

You NEED 2 heads in the rear of any vehicle, One will not protect you enough. We are not saying not to use BT, I have both and love both but you can only use one at a time and as of now I prefer the HI-FI set up so I dont have to rely on my Iphone! The BT module works great.

The TL's are great for jammer set ups, my 9500CI install here may give you some ideas: http://radarandlaserforum.com/showth...-9500CI-review

If you can spend the extra, 2 heads up front and 2 rear are recommended, but i did only put one head on my new Mazda 3 install: http://radarandlaserforum.com/showth...te-CJR-install since i never really get shot in the rear and i did it more for testing purposes. That rear placement tawwwd recommended should do the trick.

My install shop (NY) by me doesn't charge much to install, but it can depend on how you want it installed. I would guess it should cost from $3-500. In my Mazda3 install which is a short car i needed to extend the rear head cable because it was too short so do some measurements.

+1 for the two rear heads, fit and forget, even if they dont shoot u in the rear yet, that day may come, if you move to another area ur all ready covered
