A client from Reisterstown recently contacted the Westminster Speed and Sound team to inquire about installing a radar detector in his 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera T. This car has incredible acceleration, so the radar system helps the driver be more alert to their surroundings. After inspecting the vehicle, we explained the Uniden options we offered and provided a quote. The client loved our plan and gave us the go-ahead to schedule the installation.
Uniden R9W-P Radar Detector
These days, a high-quality radar detector solution notifies the driver of both police radar and lidar. The latter uses light pulses reflected off the front of the vehicle to determine speed. These systems work quickly and are accurate. When the Uniden R9W-P radar detector detects a lidar signal, the driver has time to check that he is travelling at a legal speed before he allows the lidar system to capture velocity information. This is a key difference between a custom-installed radar detector and laser defence system and the windshield-mounted units that only provide warnings about lidar use.
We installed three laser defusers on the front of the 911 in locations that provide optimal exposure to incoming lidar signals. Our fabrication team 3D-printed housings for the defusers and used infrared-transparent covers to give them a clean and classy appearance.
Classic Police Radar Detection
Some police officers still use classic radar guns that use radio frequency to measure vehicle speed. The Uniden system includes a dual-antenna radar module, which we mounted to the front bumper with a custom bracket.
Custom Radar Detector Installation
As always, the antenna and transponder wiring are routed along the same path as the factory harnesses to keep everything safe and secure. We mounted the controller hub and display on a custom insert that fits into the rear portion of the center console. There’s a speaker hidden under the dash that provides audible warnings when a threat is detected.
Once the installation was complete, we took the car for a short drive and tested the system using our radar and lidar guns. We test every system we install to ensure it works flawlessly for our clients.
Baltimore’s Porsche Radar Experts
It took our team two full days to integrate this Porsche 911 radar system for the client. He returned to Westminster Speed and Sound, where we showed him how to use the system effectively. He was thrilled with the clean installation and the added awareness the system provides while driving.
