Default Custom jammer install? Or Turbo S feature?

Drove past a new Turbo S on the way in to work tonight and noticed the rear view mirror had some red LED's in the upper right corner. Thought at first it was a radar detector mounted above the mirror, but slowed down for another look, it was definitely in the mirror. Looked to me to be behind the mirror glass, but then again its not ideal viewing, driving along side in interstate rush hour traffic and all.

Anyone got any idea if this is a Turbo display, or a really cool jammer install?

It was upper right and red but yeah, that's what it looked like! Kinda spendy but by far the slickest looking display integration yet. The same should be possible, maybe even easier, on the multi-function display. But I think up on the mirror makes more sense for radar alerts.

LEO can see the readout behind you. If he was prepared to give you a break after clocking you at 70 in a 55, chances are he won't be so nice. I used the escort display and mounted it at the headliner just above the rear view mirror mount. Nobody can see it from behind the car unless they are crouched at the bumper because the rear roofline blocks it. Think about it. It is cool, but you won't be as stealth to people behind you.

Tell LEO that it's your navigation system giving you coordinates.
