Laser and Radar Detector Custom Installations

January 3, 2020 By Dave MacKinnon

Radar Custom Installation

As with any installation and fabrication project, a top-tier mobile enhancement retailer can take the task of integrating a radar detector into your car or truck and turn it into a work of art. In most cases, these elaborate installations make the control panels, displays and laser detection sensors appear as though they are part of the vehicle rather than an accessory.

Radar Detector Control Panels

Whether you have chosen products from Escort, K40, Radenso, AL Priority or Stinger, how the control panel and display are integrated into your vehicle is important from both a functionality and an aesthetic perspective. Being able to access the control panel for a laser defense system is important to completing the Jam to Kill process quickly and efficiently.

Radar Custom Installation
Sometimes the integration process is so seamless, the results appear to be part of the vehicle itself. Musicar Northwest in Portland, Oregon, created a pair of buttons in the center console of this 2016 Jaguar F-Type SVR from scratch. The buttons are integrated with a Passport 9500ci radar detector and laser defense system.

If you’re after a truly next-level installation experience, the team at AVI Boston has an affinity for creating motorized control panel and display solutions for its clients. The View display for a Stinger defense system extends down from the bottom of the dash to make it easy to see and use. This video lets you in on the secret.

Mobile Solutions of Calgary in Alberta created this custom pod on the steering wheel column of a Range Rover to ensure that the driver would be able to see the information provided by the Escort MAX Ci system.

Sometimes a relatively simple flush-mount installation in the right location can provide the functionality and aesthetics a client is after. Ralph’s Radio in Vancouver, British Columbia, mounted this Escort MAX Ci control panel on the side of this Lamborghini Huracan steering column cover.

Laser Transceiver Installations

While easy access to a control panel can make the interior of the vehicle look tidy, how the laser sensors, shifters or transceivers are mounted plays a role in ensuring that the exterior retains a stock appearance. Using IR-transparent plastic and custom mounting brackets and pods can truly transform the look of the installation.

Radar Custom Installation
Vibe Car Audio in Red Deer, Alberta, covered the laser transceivers on the front of this Chevrolet Corvette with custom-made acrylic panels that don’t affect infrared light transmission.

 

Radar Custom Installation
In some cases, the design of the laser defense system itself plays a significant role in ensuring that the installation is as invisible as possible. The team at Mobile Solutions of Calgary installed a set of Stinger Laser Fibers in the front grille of this Volkswagen Golf. Yes, those two small circles on the right side of the image below the red accent line are all that’s needed to provide excellent lidar protection.
Radar Custom Installation
Cincy Security and Sound in Cincinnati installed a laser defense solution around the rear license plate of this Porsche 911 GT3. The bracket features laser transceivers from Radenso and uses a custom Perspex mount from Musicar Northwest.

Another cool installation from the guys at Vibe Car Audio. This time, the placement provides the concealment. The team created an opening in the front grille badge of this Mercedes to serve as a home for this AL Priority laser transceiver.

he team at Mobile Toys Inc in College Station, Texas, created three custom mounting pods for the laser transceivers on the front of this awesome Shelby Ford F-150 pickup truck.

The rear of your vehicle deserves the same attention to detail as the front. Another amazing Passport laser transceiver installation by Musicar Northwest on the back of this Porsche Spyder.

Attention to Detail

Sometimes, attention to detail extends beyond the task of proper integration to include details that set a retailer apart from his or her competition.

Radar Custom Installation
Adam Devine at Devine Concepts in Naples, Florida, adds a badge to the door jamb after each installation is complete. The badge includes serial numbers for all the radar detector and laser defense equipment installed in the vehicle.

Partner with the Best

If you are shopping for a radar detector and laser defense system, the way the product is installed plays a significant roll in its performance. Aside from the technical requirements for sensor placement and alignment, cosmetic integration is what separates a solution that is “installed” from one that is truly integrated with the vehicle. Visit your local specialty mobile enhancement retailer today to find out what they can design and fabricate to protect you and your vehicle from speeding tickets.
