    I have too. The only thing I'm a little skeptical about is if one small diode can cover the entire front of a car when most other systems require two. It seems to work though. It's about the same price range as the others too.

    BTW, here is a video of the M20 in action. The video is uber cheesy and backyard looking, but the actual laser shooting sequences are kinda cool looking. There are 2 videos of it in action. Check them out.

    i understand your concern, however i guess you have to take into account that there are only so many places on the front of your car they can aim the laser at (which is also a reason why that film stuff you paint over your headlights have been said to work great alone or in conjunction with a laser shifter).

    True, but the concept behind it working is that when it senses the light from the gun it scrambles it by sending back it's own light (LED's). The Lidatek unit doesn't use LED's, it uses diodes to do the same thing. The problem comes in (with me anyway) if that tiny little box can cover the whole front of the car. When you're shot by laser, you could be shot at either headlight, front bumper, either turning signal, etc. So it's not just one place. If we lived somewhere that front license plates were mandatory, then I could see it because they'd shoot the front tag 99% of the time. But around here they can and do shoot all over the front of the car. So I'm just wondering if the Diode technology is so much better than the LED's to be able to cover the same amount of real estate in a much smaller package.

    If you look at the link I put up above, there is a small video of how the M20 works while being shot. They shot it with nightvision type equipment and it shows you where the PD laser gun is pointing and how the LED's still "see" it eventhough they're not pointing it directly at them. It's kinda neat. Hopefully it works that well. I know I'm banking on it.
