^ mother of god!
for the OP if you wanna do this right you have a lot of things to strip out too. First the trunk lid (if you are installing there to begin with) and a lot of interior pieces. It's never difficult to wire some stuff up but it's always difficult to make the interior pieces go back together perfectly and the wires ran without getting kinked (when the trunk lid is shut and opened, for example)
Good luck. You'll need it if this is your first time and it so happens that your first lab rat is a GTR....

For those of you interested to see the results, here you go. http://picasaweb.google.com/alikasha...eat=directlink
A custom-mount radar detector, a laser jammer system, a backup camera, a navigation bypass switch, and an audio/video harness were installed. That included two sensors on the back, three on the front, as well as three panels, three switches, three cpu boxes, one speaker and one LED all installed inside.
It took two long weeks to have all the parts delivered, and 20 hours of work to get everything installed. A mechanical engineering friend of mine helped me with the sensor installations, and sometimes I had another friend or my girlfriend giving me a hand and keeping me company. None of us had any experience on car installs before, but we took our time researching, planning and executing each item.
To have a tighter integration of the rear-camera, and to install the nav-bypass switch, I did end up removing the center console (which I had previously thought unnecessary). But everything went without a glitch and I feel great about the outcome. I honestly don't think a shop would have done as good of a job simply because they wouldn't care as much as I did. We managed to put everything at the most desirable locations, without having to drill a single hole on the car body or leaving any marks. And most importantly, we all had lots of fun doing this.

How to ensure no holes or dents are made to the body, yet every item is at a desirable position? How to pass wires from front/rear to inside the vehicle? How to remove each part in the console?
Probably one of the scariest parts was removing the LCD and the radio. But as soon as we figured out a solution, getting it done was usually easy. Quote:

The radar system seems to work pretty well too. I have got a number of alerts already (a few falses too). I will be testing the laser system with a laser gun in the next couple of weeks.

dude isn't radar jammer completely illegal in Canada and 52 states? You risk getting your car impounded and towed away just for having that on board.

"Laser jammers" are also perfectly legal. Laser jammers are different than radar jammers.

I dunno. Install looks ok, a little ghetto with all the visable wires and lazer jammers.
The screws in the glove box are crooked too.
Can you even see the radar warning LED when you are driving in the day time?

You are right about the glove box screws. There was too much tension on one of the screws. I realized that later and fixed it.
The only visible wire in the entire setup is the 2cm-long cable from the radar unit's control panel. No other wire is visible, unless someone goes looking for them. For instance, the backup camera cables (shown in one image) are well hidden when looking at the car from behind; I had to tilt the camera underneath the car to get that shot just to show how the cables were sent inside without an extra hole anywhere.
As for the laser jammers, they are pretty unnoticable too. I had to make my photos much brighter to make the installation noticable. The laser jammer position has lots of limitations for it to function properly, and that place was suggested to me by some really hard-core radar/laser enthusiast on another forum. The one thing about it that still needs work is painting the screws black.
As for the LED, it's well within my peripheral when driving. When it blinks red (alert mode) it is positioned well to get my attention.

You should have installed a night vision cam and disable your headlights so you can drive in the dark......

that and, it's considered a radar jammer as it interferes with police technology, and more than likely isn't FCC approved.

Here, just read the first few lines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_jammer
Laser and radar are two different technologies. First of all, they operate on different wavelengths. And secondly, radars use the Doppler principle (phase shift) to estimate distance, while lasers use time-of-flight. There's lots of info out there; google is your friend.
And if you want to know how well they work, see the experiments here: http://www.guysoflidar.com/ | |
