Default K40 Calibre Blue Tooth

Wife hates the detector in the window. Been looking at remotes and K40 seems popular.

Any thoughts on the current generation of K40?

Can get it installed (Front/rear & laser diffuser) for $ 1800 - 2000. Is that in line?

Thanks

Cal

Yes, that price is in line. Put the remote in the ash tray with some back spacing. If you do a search, you may see my lousy pics. For $1800 you should get the blue LEDs mounted in the instrument cluster. It is a very slick set up and works very well. I put my V1 in my wife's Allroad but for a while ran both and performance was the same.

I had a K40 Calibre installed last week. The blue lights fit on either side of the computer readout below the tach (2001 C2). I very much like the overall look. We'll see how well it works!

Your pricing is about right.

I have a unit from 2001, you think it's still pretty effective?

The front antenna is mounted in the lower lip, doesn't pick up much. Do you guys have any idea what I need to do?

villajoe, does your system have a ****? for city/highway etc.? The new system is easier to install as only power at each end needs to be tapped into. I would go online and find a dealer/installer who can verify the functioning of your system. You may be able to add some components on for a few bucks if that is what you need to do.
