    Reading the setup page "bubble":

    So for non 2.0 folks like me, sounds like I need the R/G module also.
    No.. Only V2 CPU'S can connect directly to the GPS Antenna without the need for the RG Module.

    Can someone post a quick video on how this all integrates together for those of us not using an iPhone/Android and only running the HiFi module setup?

    As my CPU is from 2014, I would need a GPS Antenna with an RG Module? One plugs in to the other and then in to the main CPU?

    If it does not say HW 2.0 on the bottom yes you would need an RG Module to add the GPS Antenna.

    Tom , do you think it could be in the wish-list for parking only ?

    How is the transition between ''active''\detect only , and vice-versa , i mean is there any sound that indicates
    the change ? If there is any sound it could become annoying in a stop-go situation (in cities).

    How long is the wire ?

    Thank you.

    No sound but LED changes color once you hit the threshold. If I remember correctly it's yellow under your preset and then back to Blue above it. I will have to double check the length but I think it was 10ft for the ones we sell. The ones Alex sells will be longer and you can check with him.

    Oh fine for the lenght and the stealth mode , it is perfect for banned area.

    Yes Alex has it in stock , price is $ 75 cad , quite a good deal if one has the version 2 .

    What about the parking only wish-list ? Do you think it can have some priority ?

    Thanks.
