It has some "upgrades" but it's basically the same unit internally, which is where it matters. They only have 2 models if I'm not mistaken. The M25 and the M45. The only difference is that the 25 comes with 2 diodes and the 45 with 4. The 45 is designed for larger vehicles and for those concerned about getting tagged from behind. Personally, I haven't seen too many instances where they clock from behind because normally they are not positioned to do that unless they're shooting off a bridge, which technically renders the reading faulty anyway, so I didn't opt to get the bigger unit myself. I guess it wouldn't hurt if you had the cash for it. I believe the big unit is close to $700 if I'm not mistaken. Both have to be professionally installed anyway, so add that cost to it too.

My advice? Can't go wrong with either one. The ZR3 is very expensive, but it does tie in with an 8500 which is nice. I love mine, so I definetly would recommend that one. The install really does need a professional hand because the diodes need to be as level as possible and can only be certain distance away from the headlights to ensure working right. Plus installing the rest of the unit is not really difficult, but its nice if it's done properly. Mine is awesome because the LED light is mounted in a way where it reflects off my speedo, so just glancing I can see it. The rest is tucked away and done right.

Let me know and I'll hook you up with my installer.

From what I saw on youtube videos it seems like the Blinder does give the best protection.. but how well does it work with the Escort 9500? And yeah I was just curious if other than diodes if there might have been any other technological differences like the 8500 and 9500.


Evo with Blinder M20...

Now from reading the comments and my own research I see that your suppose to have the diodes within 18 inchs of your license plate, and headlights and its best not to keep it behind anything (the Evo kept it behind his grill). However, I LOVE his radio setup. Is that what you have? Every time a laser hits your radio tunes right into the jammer/RD? And one more thing..I heard you can set up the blinder to shut itself down after 5-8 seconds? Is that worth it? Im thinking I would like that so a cop can get a read on me after X amts of seconds that I have to slow down...

Im actually tryin really hard to save up some money right now because my daily commute these days is a lot further (Lawrenceville to Kennesaw) and the last thing I need is another ticket lols. BTW thanks for all your help!! REPS for YOU!!
