Review on 📡 Enhanced LRM-360 Laser Radar Detector Accessory: Laser Remote Module by Joe Duncan

I already have a Whistler on my bike that works great. You need a detector that is not mounted and does not clutter up the dashboard. There are very few detector options with remote/external sensor mounts. Installation is the biggest problem. The antenna/sensor has enough wire length to get from the front of the car to the battery and then to the console (the controller you install in the vehicle), but the mounting brackets/tape/etc. are almost impossible to retrofit/modify/install. You would never "glue" on an antenna for fear that it might come loose and fly out onto the road. Truck and car grilles vary so much in size, shape and style that you would have to spend hours writing a secure attachment. I was lucky and the antenna fitted snugly between the slots in the front grille of my 2008 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. I then spent several hours filming the truck's horn and losing various brackets and fasteners so you could stick your hand/tools between the grill and radiator to drill holes, fasten screws and add a mounting/support bracket too designed to ensure stability. . The antenna comes with limited mounting/screwing bracket/hardware options and you don't want to risk drilling into the antenna and damaging the waterproof housing. Did I mention installation is a nightmare? If you manage to mount the antenna securely, you need to mount the controls (console) in the truck. The kit includes a third component which is like a 'hub' where you connect the antenna, console and extras like GPS (at extra cost). I installed the hub in the engine compartment under the hood next to the battery (I drilled holes on the side and screwed them on). I didn't want all the "hub" wires/connections cluttering up the already cluttered under-dash fuse box area. Route the connections through the firewall and use one of the existing holes for other cables. Did I mention editing is a nightmare? Finally I fitted a small control panel into the slot on the left side of the steering column under the air conditioning vent. Using the supplied ribbon did not work. Once your truck gets warm from the sun, the tape will no longer stick (although the console is very small and light). As with an antenna, mounting brackets are almost impossible to drill or attach without damaging them. Stuck trying to stick tape or make a special mount for a secure fit? In the end I decided to use Gorilla Glue instead of duct tape. The glue holds well and the rig looks "almost" like it's part of the dash (but I don't like that I glued it on). The unit works as advertised and I already know Whistlers from what I have on my bike. It comes with a small speaker (attached to the "hub") that uses a voice (female) to alert you to a discovery. Installing a small speaker (with a volume control) is also not easy. It's bulky (about the size of two Oreos) and has a blunt clip to attach it to (I don't know what). Another editing problem that requires you to get creative. Did I mention editing is a nightmare? The product does a good job of detecting most radar guns. It's a little confusing with the laser detection, which I think is due to the sun (straight towards the sun for 10 minutes and the laser warning didn't stop. Then when I turned 90 degrees to the sun it stopped). It has many configurable features (e.g. reducing/changing the types of laser signals it warns about). The hub connections are RJ11 (an old type of landline) which is odd and clearly proprietary. I was concerned that the "hub" I installed under the hood might get wet (or maybe overheat?), so I taped a piece of waterproof plastic tape over the empty ports on the hub. If the device fails/dies I'll probably throw my truck off a cliff instead of removing the Whistler. Did I mention installation is a nightmare?
