I’ll be due for a new full size (not certain of brand) truck this fall and would like to add laser protection. I am 75% Iowa driving with the balance in IL and MO. I run from +10-20 PSL, usually set cruse on +15. Judging by the open IA state contracts I could run into a range of guns including DE. I don’t know what flavors of LiDAR are actually in widespread use.

Obviously, ALP’s are the way to go but I really don’t encounter much laser (zero in local driving) and am not interested in rear protection. From what I’ve seen first-hand rear shots are rare, if at all, here – correct me if I am wrong. I’d rather not spend up for the ALP’s and have cash left over to add a system to the wife’s mini-van.

This leaves me at the TMG and APX systems. Either would be fine with me but I do like the smaller remote on the APX. My biggest concern with either system is the lack of self checks and notifications for head issues. I’m not very interested in app integration or gun id’s. Fun, but not necessary for me. I just want the system to do its job reliably. I would install the system myself.

TMG has had its fair share of dramas and reliability issues over the years but has a larger user base than APX’s automotive system. TMG has a better feature set. From what I have gathered the A-17 has taken care of the reliability issues?? More people here on the forum to bounce questions off of, too. I like that their heads have disconnects for easy replacement. Does the A-17 require a totally independent power supply? I find the power supply issue odd but can be worked around.

TPX looks like solid choice as they have been at it with motorcycles for awhile. Simple system and tests well. A JTK button and failed head notifications look to be about the only missing features (and head pigtails). On the other hand, we don’t have years of testing and fine tuning or history of updates on the automotive side.

The R7 won’t work with the Uniden signal jammer. Only the R4/8 will and it requires a box that holds the programming which then runs the jammer heads. I don’t recall seeing anyone try an R7 with the R9 laser jammers heads but I’m pretty doubtful it would be that backwards compatible; even less so with non-factory firmware.

Currently Uniden has said they have no plans to release them as an add on option (something Vortex posted), even though they and other accessories were mentioned on release. That might change as mentioned above.
