See you have the TX in the back.
Love the display on the overhead mirror console.
Awesome!
How long did install take?

Thanks. I did it over the course of a few days but probably took about 6-8 hours all together. This was my first time taking apart this car so I was going about it pretty slowly and carefully.

Which is idiotic moneymaking in my book - looks like the control interface (buttons) and other wiring is the same and should be reusable - so only the main control unit would need to be replaced.
Design to force people to rebuy the whole system when its a custom install is just consumer unfriendly.

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead but I've been thinking about getting this unit. All the dealers in town want $3500 and that seems extreme. I have the previous model in my other vehicle and it was $2000. I'm not seeing much of a difference between the two.

The old model is not worth it. The old model is prone to false K band alarms because it can't filter car based radar systems. In addition the old one can't handle the latest police lidar guns.
I put the latest Escort system in my wife's 2018 E63S and it works flawlessly. Worth the money.

The hardware is more expensive hence the price.

On the Porsche I use ALP because the New Escort system wasn't available 2 years ago.
