I grounded it to the Hood catch under the first bolt next to the air box,but if it was a bad ground wouldn't it of gave me a hard time the first time I used it? It worked fine for two days. Ill try to change the ground and see if that helps. Thx Dave

True... but you never know. if it is painted... scuff it up a bit.

How long did it take to receive yours? I put my order in and in the description it states 2 to 3 weeks to ship. Damn, I hate waiting.

Dave2SSRS · 07-28-2010, 05:34 PM

About a week, but that is only because they received the shipment 2 days after I ordered. I know Justin stated they got an order in Monday (I believe). You might get lucky!

Hey Dave,
Was wondering if you knew where the security light wire was. I am wanting to have it on when my car is locked, so it can give a "get the f*&$k away" sort of appearance lol. Well... I guess I can just turn it on when I do leave the ride parked? Hm.... Well when do you actually use yours? Now I'm second guesing my idea haha
THANKS

I did not use the security wire so I cannot help you there. I am sure someone else on here will be able to tell you where it is in about .2 seconds. LOL!

It's not my daily driver so I only drive the car Friday-Sun (if it's not raining), so I use the scanner bar as soon as I hop in it!

I drive with it scanning back and forth (darker blue) even though its illegal. Cops, so far, have given me thumbs up and a courteous lightbar flash with big ol' smiles... I am quite surprised so far!

I also leave it on when I go into stores and such. I usually come out to a few folks hanging around the car in a mesmerizing trance. (look into the LIGHT!!) LOL!

Over all... it is a great attention getter and thats what I want... people to love my car as much as I do!!

RnellyC · 07-28-2010, 09:57 PM

SAY WHAT?!!!! LOL I am surprised as well!
wow... some nice police officers you got over there in TX haha. I guess I can give it a try. My excuse if I do get stopped is "I forgot to turn it off, I was coming from a car meet/show." Hopefully, they'll be kind enough to let me go without a fix it ticket! Thanks for the reply Dave! Your thread was very helpful!

p.s. Do you have an excuse ready to use? =)

No, but I have a backup "get out of ticket (most of the time)" card. My CHL usually does the trick! don't ask me why but it works!

Other than that... I just say something comical and submissive like "Ya got me!". Most cops around here are cool if you're not a dick to them. So I avoid that at all costs. I appreciate them being around so I don't see the point of trying to BS a cop... haha.. trust me... they KNOW!

I figure it is just a matter of time seeing as I don't have a front license plate either because of the stripes! LOL!

hey dave where did your get the wire loom or did the scanner come with it?

Dave2SSRS · 07-30-2010, 06:19 AM

I had it laying around the garage. Home Depot/Walmart/Lowes will have it though.

Ah I see... Thanks! That's what I did, but I was just wondering about that yellow wire. Should be posting up my video soon! Hope I'm the 1st for the v6's
