Not long ago, a client from Philadelphia contacted Perzan Auto Radio to inquire about a 2015 Audi RS7 radar detector and laser defense system. The client had already done some homework on the features he wanted. We explained the features and performance benefits of the AL Priority laser defense system, with its Net-Radar add-on module. He also inquired about a dash camera solution to protect his sedan. We offered the amazing BlackVue DR900S-2CH, currently the best camera system on the market. Happy with the information we provided, the client scheduled an installation appointment.
AntiLaser AL Priority HiFi System Design
We added the HiFi Upgrade option with AL Priority laser and radar system. The HiFi kit includes an easy-to-use control panel and a compact speaker that announces alerts with excellent clarity. To ensure the vehicle has the best protection possible, we planned for four laser sensors and one of the TX sensors. Additionally, a NetRadar DSP radar receiver module will provide excellent long-range warnings for X, K and Ka-band radar guns.
Audi RS7 Radar Detector and Laser Defense Installation
We started the project by mounting the pair of laser sensors and the TX sensor on the front of the Audi in the lower air dam. These sensors monitor for laser speed measurement signals and feed that information to the control module. When a laser signal is detected, the system transmits a signal from those sensors to confuse the radar gun and prevent a reading. The TX sensor adds additional firepower to confuse the signal bounced back to the police officer and prevents a speed reading. Once an alert is detected, the client has four seconds to ensure the vehicle is traveling at a legal speed. The ALP stops transmitting automatically at this point so the officer can measure the vehicle speed and let the driver continue on his way.
NetRadar Module Installation
We installed the NetRadar DSP receiver on the front of the vehicle behind the grille. Unlike the signal from police laser guns, radar signals pass through plastics with ease and allow us to conceal the antenna installation. The NetRadar system uses a high-speed DSP to reject noise while providing excellent sensitivity. The radar detection system works with a GPS receiver to mute itself when the vehicle is traveling at slower speeds. This prevents false alarms from automatic door opener systems in parking lots. The system also includes filtering for blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control systems to reduce false alerts further.
We positioned the control panel for the AL Priority system on the dash to the right of the steering column. This location makes it easily accessible at any time.
BlackVue DashCam System
The next part of the project was to mount the BlackVue DR900S-2CH dash camera system. The client liked the idea that this dual-camera system can continue to monitor the vehicle even after the ignition is turned off. As such, we added the Power Magic Pro kit to protect the vehicle battery from being excessively discharged in the event that the client wouldn’t be driving the car for a few days. The camera system includes a 4K resolution, forward-facing camera with GPS and 3-axis accelerometer as well as a full HD resolution rear camera that we mounted in the back window. This system features WiFi connectivity with cloud storage options so the client can view stored videos anywhere he has internet access and can also view the camera image in real time to see what’s going on around the vehicle.
The camera system starts recording sound and video as soon as the ignition is turned on. When the car is parked, it switches to parking mode and only stores video when it detects motion around the vehicle or from the accelerometer.
Complete Vehicle Protection System
After two days of work, it was time for the client to return to Perzan Auto Radio in Upper Darby to see his Audi RS7 radar and laser defense solution. We showed the client how we had installed the AL Priority and BlackVue systems and explained how to use them. He was impressed with our attention to detail.
