I don't have SAM. Mercedes changed that when they changed the brakes. In fact it was listed as a $40K option and decided that SAM could leave and instead the can install Jerry.
Jerry is a small drunk basterd who smells like stale Becks and pickeled eggs. He yells out the trunk when I make a turn, and when I need Nav, he yells LEFT and RIGHT!
My music consists of his Polka Skills. Other that that, the car runs Tip-Top!!
This is the Wireless Control Kit. We did not use the lighter power plug, the auto-sensing power module (bottom left) or the white waterproof box. Missing from this photo is the Stealth Node for wireless key-fob shut down.
Now, Let's JAM!!
The LPP Components
For my install, this went into the Relay Box.
-------------------------------------------
The Install Team: Larry from Sound Impressions in Hawthorne, NY, and his sidekick Luis.
This is the auto-power sensor, removed because we went direct to the fuse box.
Inside the fuse/relay box you'll see a long snake we used to get power from the lighter circuit (inside the Cockpit) back out to the outer box. Why? We wanted all the systems run from the lighter circuit so that MB could not say we shouldn't have used the wrong circuit.
In the relay box the LPP controller module was placed to keep it waterproofed. When the relay box cover is placed back on, the LPP Module is sealed and protected, and we didn't have to use the LPP waterproof box.
These are the Jammer Diodes. They get wired back to the LPP Module in the relay box. SIMPLE!
Here's where they are mounted:
We used a Dremmel to slightly enlarge one of the honeycombs in the grill in order to pass the RJ11 connector through the hole.
-----------------------
Checking and leveling the Laser Diode... perfect!
Finished and installed. (NOTE) There is a small white dot on each Jammer. This tells you on which side the wide angle lens is. They get mounted so that the white dots on each module face to the outside of the vehicle.
Each Jammer Head cable was placed in wire loom and run back to the relay box. You can see the loom butts right into the relay box. Tie wraps complete the job. NO cutting of the relay box. The wires simply compress the rubber gasket and go right through. The rear section of the relay box has a lot of room in it, and the LPP Control Module fits in there beautifully.
----------------------
Under the driver side. The Power Control box, and the stealth module are connected together, tie wrapped, and then 12V from the lighter circuit is applied here. ALL 12V power is going to this single point of power. There is only one connection for these as they are daisy chained with locking connectors. The stealth node provides the user with a wireless on/off key fob to completely shut the system off for any desired reason.
Not much to it... but it's the best out there.
The LPP's new 100 Pulse Per Second update gets all the new ****.
----------------
Since we were in the neighborhood, we hardwired the Bel STI
Mounted High and right of the mirror.
---------------------------
Luis is closing up the right side panel where we ran another 12v line for the Bel STI Driver (radar detector) Again, the 12v ran clear through to the left driver foot-well for the single connection point. Replacing this panel is the tough one!!
After all is done, the wireless Audio Node which is your Alarm and Visual warning device gets a small 12v line that was run up the rubber seal and hidden within. The Audio Node is velcro'd to the driver "A" pillar. It's Really Small, yet very loud under alarm conditions! It has a tiny volume control on it and you set it and forget.
I will clean up the velcro... I know!
I hope you have enjoyed shining a 500w bulb back at a 50w ! Basically, this is the analogy. The LPP reaction is IMMEDIATE. Laser is .02 seconds for capture. This device gives them nothing! In default programming, the unit jams for 8 seconds, and then shuts off. In that 8 seconds you have time to adjust your speed or throw out the anchor. When the cop re-targets you he gets another reading of you at your adjusted speed of 55mph. After 60 seconds, the Stealth Node re-arms and you back in business. You can however alter the programming to many different ways.
***A final note here: The LPP and the Cheetah Wireless System are TWO different products DESIGNED TO WORK TOGETHER.
This is the Authorized Dealer, and Dave is VERY responsive. I had his cell number during our install so he could answer any last minute install questions. I called him during our install and immediately got the answer. Good service?? You decide.
