Need help on exactly where and how to install the Blinder M47. I've looked everywhere in the forum for pics and suggestions but have found nothing. I'm looking for any pics showing the jammer sensors installed on the rear and front. It's obvious to me the best place in the front would be the fog light compartment, but then i'd have to remove the back plastic backing to feed the wires through or drill a hole. The rear slits in the bumper look like a good place to put a sensor in between but there isn't enough bumper housing to hold the sensor... not sure they best way to mount these..

Any one got pics or advice???

I've installed the two transmitter version in my C-6 therefore no rears. You will either have to drill some holes to mount them or find some other way. Routing the wires is the easy part till getting them through the firewall. I would expect the C-5 would be easy to find a place to get them through whereas the C-6 was a nightmare.

ya, i read that there is a conduit behind the battery on the passenger side that i can feed through.... the rear mount is really my main question.

I would mount the rear ones directly above the license plate. Should be plenty of mounting room and that's where the cops will be aiming anyway. Good luck, and be sure to upload some pics when you're done with the install.

Routing the rear wires should be easy going through the trunk and along the door rocker panel to the BCM area which is the best for mounting the computer for the jammer.

srandall31

the only problem with that is that they would be visible there and i have two jammers so i'd be wasting them by putting them both in the middle

I've run wires through the emergency brake cable grommet. It's a big rubber plug you can stab a sharpened tube through then feed the wires in and pull the tube back out sealing up fairly well but I added a bit of silicone for fun.

Now one thing to be sure about is to know what your State laws are wherever you live. Even in States where they are legal such as here where I am, the authorities are trying to use things like "Obstruction of Justice" to get around the fact that its not illegal to own or use them. You could possibly get a ticket anyway and have to fight it in court. I put in the M-27 after receiving a ticket several years ago in another state where the leo actually lied to me and the court. The court couldn't have cared less either. My view was, if they can lie and get away with it, then I can protect myself. I will state that the M-27 works as designed although here where I am now, there are only three of the lidar guns and they don't like to use them...too much trouble. So here, the M-27/47 is worthless. I was living in Calif. for many, many years and bought the M-27 just before they became illegal and its not the state where I got the ticket. The M-27 worked beautifully and as long as I either shut it off within seconds, insuring I'm doing the legal speed limit or below, or, allow it to time out after the programmed 7 seconds, no issue. So, just become very aware of your laws and there are sites out there that talk about these etensively. PM me if you want the site address.

I installed some Blinders a few years ago. Here are some pics for ya. You can also go to radardetctor.net and check the forum under laser jammers, pics there too. Mine was the M25 v.J16 and it totally defeated 6 different guns as tested against my car by RD.net members.

I really don't think it would be a waste. Officers are trained to aim at license plates; by placing a jammer near the plate you're maximizing your chances of a successful jam. Having two simply increases your output power, which increases your effective jamming distance.

Visibility is a legitimate concern. One or more of the laser jammers on the market doubles as a proximity sensor, which is a neat way to explain away the little black sensors to an observant officer.

Yeah, its the Blinder M27 and M47 with the parking sensor.

I guess assuming the jamming of a single jammer is not consistently effective enough to rely on it might be more effective to put both in one spot; however, assuming one jammer is sufficient for a 2-3 ft radius, and that cops also aim at the fog and headlights (a lot of cars to include mine don't have a front license plate) it might be more effective to disperse them for a broader coverage area... one about 2 ft from each side of the center. You still have overlap across the center area of coverage... All the reports i've read is that these jammers work! and haven't seen anyone express the need to double them up in order to get them to work..

skyavonee

We're talking about two different things. You're talking about the front of the car and I'm talking about the rear. For the rear there seem to be two different possible mounting locations. I think the green ones are ideal because they're nearer to the license plate, the rear lights, and the center of the bumper. The purple locations are another option.

fatboyc5

how did you route the wires through the front housing? did you drill another hole to route them through or did you somehow feed them behind the fog lights?

fatboyc5

ya, after looking at your pic it actually looks like the green would be more centered from top to bottom as well... i liked the idea of mounting them in the bottom slits but didn't know how that could be done. the plastic doesn't go back inside that far to hold them. license plate area could work though...

On my C-6 only that I mounted them into, the wires simply run up behind the plastic there and into the engine compartment. No additional holes were needed other than the mounting brackets. Now getting the wires through the firewall was a nightmare as the C-6 has more than one area to get through. The firewall itself then an additional level of wall mounting for accessories inside which made it impossible to feed anything through it or safe to drill a new hole because you literally cannot see. I ended up coming through the cabin filter, which got me to the inside but within the hvac blower. So I bored a hole in it on one edge away from the spinning blades, mounting the rubber o-ring in place. This all got the wiring to the BCM area. PITA and a half. Now there is a "remote" interface available which allows for not having to run wires which I did not buy. There were both good and not so good reports on them so I truly cannot speak for it. At this instant, memory is failing me as to what it was called.

skyavonee is correct, the best mounting is where he is recommending. 99% of the reflection is coming from the license plate and the two reflectors for the backup lights that are beside it. You do the most good by shielding those areas since not only is that were the cop is aiming for, but that's where most of the possible reflection is coming from. If you really want to reduce the emissions in the back, paint the tail light reflectors flat black, and do the same to the reflectors inside of the backup lights. Then the biggest reflection will be the plate, which is where you are shielding.

srandall31

you think i could velcro them in that housing area or double side tape them?

skyavonee

I bet you could find indoor/outdoor foam mounting tape that would work. Velcro maybe if it's the hardcore type whose hooks and loops are both made of that firm plastic. If you go one of these non-permanent routes, I'd be sure to wire them such that they only fall a couple inches if the adhesive gives out. You don't want to be dragging your jammers behind you on the road
