Laser jammer, thats got to be a bonus, I'd test it out for your own peace of mind. Got a mate with a laser pointer??

.......if it is a laser jammer that provides a nice "ERR" on Mr policeman's gun, good luck = perverting the course of justice = loss of license or worse, imprisonment

Simply pointing a laser device at it will not tell you this, obviously. Either find out which one it is and verify it does not cause "ERR" codes (highly unlikely, only 2 on the market are capable of not doing this) or disconnect it. The garage opener story will NOT wash with pc traffic, period.

I investigated getting one of these in finite detail...............99% are not worth the risk.

Good luck.  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

I'm a little surprised that a dealer would sell you a car without carrying a sufficiently thorough pre-sale check that would reveal an "accessory" that is a) illegal to use in the UK,(but not to own!) b) that you could claim against them for not having pointed it out to you had you been stopped at a police roadside check. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim,

first post here, so apologies have been lurking for a very long time. The info on here has been invaluable in my two years of RRS ownership, so a big thank you.
Anyway, having bought my RRS used from this dealer, it wouldn't surprise me if Asim had found an Alligator in the boot let alone a jammer fitted to his car.
I have had the car serviced and numerous warranty work carried out by them, and to coin a phrase, nearly drove straight through the plate glass and parked at the reception desk quite a few times, due to their attitude.
However, after numerous discussions with the Service Manager, DP, Pendragon HO(Stratstone owner) and LRCS, they have done a complete turnaround.
They can't now do enough for me, and seem quite professional. I would now recommend them.
They had a shocking rep previously, as noted on here, and well deserved.
Anyway Hello to All.
Cheers

Welcome aboard iSlider, I hope you enjoy some of the less serious stuff on here too! Good to hear as well that a dealer might have had their shortcomings pointed out to them and that they have sat up and taken notice! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim,

You raise an interesting point there! I think I will phone the dealer from who I bought the car, and ask them if they knew the laser jammer was already in there, and if so, why they did not point it out?

I have no intention of using this device whatsoever, so I am going to look to get the dealer to diconnect the thing!

Cheers Tim,

have enjoyed a lot of the funnies on here also, about my level alot of it.

The dealer is v v keen for me to have this gadget removed...they are arranging this as i write!!!  RRS Supercharged!!!!

Asim

good to hear.
As I said earlier, Stratstones Woodford had their problems previously. But now can't do enough for me, I'd recommend sticking with them for any service and warranty work.
Just make sure you check the car over before leaving. They have a habit of leaving tools in the car, and towbar missing!

Great thing about Texas is that Radar jammers and detectors are quite legal, but the cops carry guns, lack personalities and im sure make $$$ with some footage for all those Police Camera Action TV shows  Brit across the Pond

FYI: Radar / LIDAR detectors and laser jammers are legal in Texas alright, but radar jammers (those that work, anyway) are regulated by the FCC, and they banned their sale or use in all 50 states over 10 years ago, making it a felony if you are caught with one interfering with a police radar gun. Although only a handful of US states specifically ban them, you can still go to jail or face big fines regardless, since their use is considered a Federal offense. http://www.radarjammer.com/its-a-felony/fcc-jammer-ban.htm 

Well I guess if they dont get you left they will get you right ..... so much for the land of the free. My problem is that i all the locals off by driving the speed limit anyway.... if you have been to Houston you know that they have no sense when it comes to road rules. I have a big GB sticker on the back but sure they all think it stands for Grumpy B'strd

Only have a detector anyway and it needs upgrading for the new frequencies and systems Mr Plod is using round these parts Brit across the Pond
