I had no idea that so much work was put into outfitting our vehicles (not your company, I work in a different location in the country). I always assumed that a "Police Interceptor" from Ford came with almost everything done. I didn't know that a company had to do such intense, hardcore work like stripping the car down to basically a shell and then custom installing everything. I am truly surprised by this. I will definitely appreciate our vehicles much more now. A big thank you to those who do this work---we put these vehicles through hell, and I have never had anything fail except roughly 20 or so years ago when the Vector light bars came out and the dumb decision was made to connect them to the user-unfriendly GE control box (combo PD radio and lights/siren control head). Those individual "pods" would turn themselves on all the time. It was especially bad when working patrol graveyard shift, and as we would be slowly driving "blacked out" through a neighborhood, out of nowhere one of the pods would turn itself on and rotate slowly one "click" at a time. Even if we powered off the GE control head, it would keep doing it. Naturally, we'd have to "down" the vehicle and leave it in the underground garage sitting there with one of the pods it up, slowly clicking it's way around and around. They were chronic in doing this! I was so glad when we switched to the low-profile clear/LED light bar. So much nicer!
Yeah for them officer to just chash it like nothing
I would LOVE to build police cruisers for a living!!!
hydrolisk1792 you say that now 😂
Did it for 28yrs,back shot ,knees hips also shot. Ky State Police Install bay built 1 vehicle a day.
@@MichaelThorsnton holy hell!
KSPs fleet only averaged 250 vehicles a year.
You guys do some amazing work. I have seen some sloppy work done by other businesses. Very clean.
Nifty neat-o! Love the setina pushbar!
GREAT WORK ON THIS SUV VEHICLE SIRENET THANKS FOR SHARING.
I've had the ability to drive one of these. Despite having a V6 it is extremely quick and nimble and more capable than an expedition or Tahoe.
it's the same V6 being used in the base Ford Mustang...it makes a pretty nice low-pitch scream when its floored
May be more capable but reliability isn't even near what the pushrod v8 tohoe will ensue and still come out on top in the long run I would never buy an ex ppv explorer but I would all day buy an ex ppv tahoe and I've driven both as a mechanic the tahoe isn't far behind in top speed and acceleration only .5 seconds 0 to 60 behind the explorer
This is what I do for a living. Absolutely love it!
Right on!
How do you get into do this type of work
@@xx-royalpowerxx2748 find a place that's hiring, and apply :)
I have been considering applying at Setina, would you say it's a good career to get into?
The vehicle itself was built at Fords Chicago Assembly Plant on the south east side of the city.
As with the Charger video - very interesting.
A lot of work, but again done cleanly and thoroughly - great job. 👍🏼😊
Minor detail - considering how thorough everything is done, I would have expected the divider protecting the electronics in the back to be dark/black too, like the other dividers/walls. But of course, that the divider does its job is most important.
Look forward to seeing the finished modding of the lawn mower to regulatory standards. 😄
Very nice Build !!! Great seeing the Installation Process
Thank you for watching ;)
I love these, keep them up!!
Great video as always. I just wish there was a way to get that cage to move with the seat. The new SUV's are deceiving as far as room goes. You could mess around with the Crown Vic cages (not good for safety) but at least you could lower the seat back. Intersting to see how the bolt on. Thank you.
Wow! These guys are amazing!
Nice work, I just want to learn how you build this so I can to reinstall the seat back to the original condition.to use the vehicle for non-police work👏
We don't have any videos that show reinstalling an OEM seat... but there's probably one here on TH-cam somewhere. Thanks for watching🚔😀
that push bar looks like it'll work perfect for a pit manuever
Nice professionally routed wiring with full functioning light, siren, radio systems. the unit requires high amp alternator with dual batteries to sustain the power requirements
Thanks for watching :)
Ted ...must be a former NASA ENGINEER , numerous wires - locations , hats off to ya
He's a wizard! :)
I'm not a huge fan of the split blue/red on the lightbar. Red on the driver and blue on the passenger side is more effective in my opinion.
Also, I'd like to see in your next install video how the cencom wiring and programming works.
Thanks for the video as always.
It is great. I am 15 and plan on going into the fire department when i turn 18. It is good to know how to wire all of this stuff up. (I live in NY where we don't have strict laws about about the lights. Just that volunteer fire fighters have to run blue lights).
theryre pretty strict. also you can join a dept at 16. im 17 now and a yellow tag. lights though are the last thing you should worry about although i know how you feel having been that attitude year and a half ago. basically. the dept has more say about your lights because most cops dont care in ny about how many as long as its blue front facing only maybe amber
NY law says 18 I thought. Hmmm... Anyway, I know you can run a bar as well. It doesn't have to just be front facing.
It doesnt actually. Junior firefighter programs are all over
Awesome work guys!
10:17 I didn't know that Setina also made side reinforcing brackets for the existing bumper beam assembly. It seems to be for the fender protectors.
Nice video. Getting ready to upfit my 2016 PI Ute for EMCOMM. It's awesome how much prewiring Ford has done. Should make it a snap. Just wish the upfitter guide was a little more informative.
Thank You. When your all finished up, please send us some pictures if you don't mind. :)
Great video, keep them coming :) can you please do a video on how to set up the cencom
awesome video! Im actually your Trash man at your Tigard location.
Thank You :)
@@SIRENNET AWESOME WORK ON THIS VEHICLE!
Terrible work done in my area, whoever does them don’t care. This is doing it right
Thank you for watching. Glad you like our video :)
Awesome video as always!
You guys should mount a lightbar on that lawn mower too ^^
Lol
Great work guys
Yea other buildings of like road work trucks would be cool
How come none of these interceptors (or the ones I have seen at least) have wig wags?
5Legacy78 With the Projector Head-Lights, using a conventional Head-Light Flasher Module is not something that can be done. Ford does offer a PPV Head-Light with a White/Amber LED Blinker Module that offers a high-output White Flash function.
Wish you guys Did this Stuff in TN near my area looks good tho.
Thank you for watching!
Ficou muito maneiro, esse deu trabalho, também essa suv é um luxo de carro.
Que trabalho maneiro.
You guys do great informational videos,
Any chance you could post a video showing how to remove the headliner and rear side panels on a Ford SUV.
Hi
pretty coo stuff! lots of work involved!
+chimney man Indeed :) It is time consuming, but well worth the outcome :)
you can have any light on the car you want; it depends on if you use them, or how you use them.
Love theses
love making brackets but.... you can purchase the factory fog lamp brackets from ford and bolt the warning lights to them.
Bet the neighbors love all that.
The Rail Road tracks about 1/4 mile away are far louder then any of the brilliant vehicles they build :)
Love to install equipment for a living
Nice work.
It is still going to be an Up hill battle trying to replacing the Crown Vic...
Reliability & Costs are not going to compare.
I totally agree... Nothing comes close to how rugged that car was
45von you're right. the crown vic will always be #1
They don't make crown vics anymore! Thats why things are changing to the SUV's
thay stoped in 2011
we need these cars in UA!
Star Cars isn't all that far from me.....perfect.
i see that you guys are always doing police, do y'all do any public work/roadside assistance, or plow trucks? if so would love to see some videos of them!
most likely wouldn't make a good video to show installing a yellow light bar on a plow truck
Depends ive seen some work truck installs that are just as lite up as the police or VFD lol
I wish this vehicle would have been outfitted with the back window light bar as well as side truck warning lights. A back storage compartment would also have been nice. I prefer the single seat cage for extra space in the rear seating compartment for non criminal transport/ extra storage space for the officer. But I know that this specific vehicle was requested like this. Do you offer a multi level side protection on the setina push bumper as well for this model?
We offer 2 Setina fender wraps for the Ford Police Interceptor SUV. The PB6-VS: sirennet.com/store/product/setina-bodyguard-pb6-vs-suv-truck-fender-wrap and the PB8-VS: sirennet.com/store/product/setina-bodyguard-pb8-vs-suv-truck-fender-wrap
I still want one of those jackets
that should be the new commercial to toyota response last part
Greetings! My question is the following, after a interceptor becomes a civilian car do you restore them to civilian format? And remove the rubber flooring and that ugly center light that looks like a circle? Like do you restore the gear shift from behind wheel to the center? I talking about a Taurus
+Cristianooportugal The Taurus and the Interceptor Sedan are 2 different Vehicles. The Interceptor Sedan comes with the Police Package rubber floor, on the steering column shifter, wheels, brakes and front end. When the PPV Sedan is taken out of service, it does not get dressed the same as a stock Taurus.
2 questions! What is the 'power tamer' and where can i find it? Also I see it looks like there was a breaker/cut-off switch on the back circuit board as well. Where can I find that?
Wondering where to wire up a rear traffic advisor light and a stream light flashlight charger in a 2016 utility. Just looking where to start and do it correctly
With Star Cars well versed experience in working with Utilities, sending them an email mentioning your project may yield some helpful information. They can be reached at: StarCars@frontier.com
what is the light bar being used here. what is the make and model??
+hise53 The Light-bar is Whelen's previously offered SX Liberty in a 48" length. The current Light-bar that was superseded the SX Liberty is the IW Liberty II. sirennet.com/store/product/whelen-liberty-ii-solo-wecan-led-48-inch-lightbar
Very nice set up you guys awesome job I was wondering what kind of speaker was used for the radios and where did he put it at,??????? AAAAAAAA++++++++++
IS IT ILEGAL TO HAVE THE WHITE LED FLASHING LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLES IN CALIFORNIA ANYONE KNOWS? THANK YOU.
Just did some research the answer is no, you can only use factory installed lighting such as hazard lighting etc.
If this is not correct you can always contact DMV or CHP.
Thank you 72Disco1998 ...
this is not in cali lmfao
@@kalebmcfarland4982 no one said it was
Hey the maintanence people where I live have the same drimel!!
Nice video tho :)
SIRENNET..... Is it at all possible to put WHITE WIG WAG lights in the front too? I have found with mine (2016) that simply turning on the headlights makes the vehicle MUCH more visible, just FYI. I would also add that the small quarter sized LED lights that are usually installed do NOT work very well in daytime use.
Wig-Wag's won't work on 2013-2015 Utilities. 2016+ will support a Wig-wag module as they have conventional halogen high beams.
@@SIRENNET Thank You! Didn't know that
Unless the car fleet came with factory spotlights which they don't why didnt u add that in the video!?!
I would certainly like to get the dimensions of those grille light brackets.
Would large fender washers work in a pinch?
+Mikeydude001 We'll see if we can get the dimensions. In a pinch, large washer's or a piece on thin sheet metal could be used as a wedge backing.
Is there any way how to install a door light switch for the interior light to turn on when you open the door on the 2007 crown Victoria ? thank you
Should be in the door jam, only guessing here.
Your Vic has been programmed for dark car mode. It used to be as easy as grounding a wire but for 05 and here newer you need to get into the ECM to change it.
R.QUINTERO624 1000 % OAXAQUEÑO DE ♥ they call it a courtesy light.

Oww i here my name
I have a 2022 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, is it difficult to install a dome light (came without one)?
Does it have an OEM dome light now, or nothing at all?
@@SIRENNET Unfortunately it does not.
It does have a police package.
Do you know how or where to connect the rear hatch LEDs so they only come on when the hatch is open on a 2017 ? the upfitters guide mentions a rear flasher relay but I don't think I have that option. I have the front grill/headlight solution wiring option only (option 66?). If you don't hook them up to turn on when the hatch is open you can see them inside the vehicle. Thanks, and good looking work you guys are doing!
Without the relay, we would suggest tying the lighting into the trigger that activates the OEM dome/cargo lights. Open the hatch, the dome light goes on and so do the warning lights. Close the hatch, the trigger shuts off as well as the warning lights.
SIRENNET Thanks, that is exactly what I did. I added a relay that triggered off the dome light and was powered thru the relay by the led power wire. I am checking for any delayed turn off of the dome light when the doors are opened. the sensor for the rear hatch is made into the latch mechanism and appears to be ground switched from low voltage.
I wonder if this specific vehicle has been retired from service yet.
We're not sure. There were several upfitted this same way, so it is possible one or more of them are still in active service. Thanks for watching😀
why don't you also change headlamps to LED instead of stock from manufacturer?
There are some up fitters and departments that switch the halogen HL bulbs out to LED. It just depends on preference and needs.
How did you remotely send the patterns to the unit?
would you guys consider selling those fog lights brackets that he made for the 2E series?
What's the average time you spend preparing a vehicle for a department?
We a pair of Installers working away, it usually takes 30-50 hours. The amount of time really depends on how much gear is going into the build.
Anybody know where the siren control harness on the outside of the 2013 FPIU would be?
i love that car :D
Is the siren controller in this unit a dual tone siren ans if not is there one like it that is?
It's not using a dual tone amplifier. You could go the route of a 295SDA1 siren & lighting controller or with a Cencom Carbide with it's dual-tone amp add-on option. Here's a link to the 295: sirennet.com/whelen-295sda1-dual-tone-remote-siren.html
Question. I know it's been a long time but how tall is that wooden rack on wheels holding the electrical wire spools?
It's about 6 feet tall.
@@SIRENNET ok. Thank you. And where'd you get it or did you make it? And are you using various size spools?
@@trucker18944 Star Cars got the wire racks years and years ago. To far back to remember from exactly where.
If I lived in that neighborhood, I would be pissed off if these guys test drove every vehicle they upfit.
what name this police lights??
How can I get a wireing harness for dodge ram 1500 07 st like the one in the video
If you contact our Sales Department, they can assist you with a harness that can be constructed to suite the needs you have for your Ram. They can be reached via phone at (888) 959-0911. Or, feel free to send them an email at: info@sirennet.com.
Are theese turbocharged? Ive heard some rumors that they are
It's not a rumor... The Ecoboost models are turbo-charged. Nothing big or high powered, just a nice little way to get extra power and mileage (based on your right foot).
does that company also mod cars besides build law enforcement vehicles?
They do here and there.
Request: Star Car Blooper Reel
What about the headlights, shouldn't they flash as well?
The Projector Headlights can not be flashed. They have a ballast based bulb system and it is not designed to click on & off. Most folks are substituting this with White LED grill Lights or Push-bumper mounted White LED light-heads.
SIRENNET Really? I thought that the Explorer has one bulb (9005) for both high beam and low beam and that when you activate the high beams, a little cover that blocks the top part of beam moves away.
BlazedGun That is correct, but the projector bulb as mentioned is not designed to be turned on/off (or faded as is typical wig-wag fashion). Mostly because they are designed to warm up and then turn on. As a solution, Ford offers the "Ready for the Road" package, as an upfit for the Interceptor model(s). This replaces the stock turn-signal with a dual functioning LED that flashes white for emergency use, but is also illuminated orange for turn signals, parking lights, etc. It also includes a Vertex LED in the outer edge of the headlight housing for intersection lighting. It is also worth noting that there has been a third party module created to flash the headlights, but many PDs have reverted back as a result of excessive blown bulbs.
Sweet!!!!!
This is so helpful, I am only 15 and I am just trying to learn how its all wired :D
Jake Methner I'm only 3.
How much would this cost to make it into a security car
We don't publish pricing. If you'd like a quotation for the equipment used, our Sales Team can help you out. Sending them an email with the video linked will work great; info@sirennet.com. Thanks for watching :)
Do these actually go to police officers
They sure do.
How long did this all take?
i just want know, how much is this?
*Does Anyone Know If I Can Put A Amber Light On My Roof Of My Car, In California?*
California has several laws in effect in regards to Amber Lighting. We suggest contacting the California Highway Patrol Information Desk or the Department of Transportation/Motor Vehicles. They will be able to give you the exact information you are in need of.
*Thank You, Love Your Videos.*
Star car incorrectly seal the wires running though the roof of the vehicle. Silicone should not be used.
+LawnTractorBoy What should they use? Every outfitter I've known has used silicone.
+Mikeydude001 black stuffing gland
+LawnTractorBoy Thanks!
Used silicone for years never had a problem
Jeremey Taylor i use stuffing glands
Is this for Washington State Patrol?
It is not a part of Washington's State Patrol Fleet.
Ah OK. WSP has the exact patrol vehicles.
StarkTech?
Not sure what you're asking... are you referring to who did this installation?
Sorry you didn't say the name of the vehicle enough. What is it? 😂
It is a 2011 - 2014 model Ford Explorer
KieranMarcieGaming - Vlogs and Gaming 😒
Can you guys do work on a Range Rover?
We most certainly can.
Thanks and the videos area really great.
California State Patrol?
Most likely washington state patrol.
whatchout @ 18:16 Headphone users
What lightbar is that?
Whelen Engineering's 48" SX Series Liberty bar.
I love the video but these installers are lacking energy... maybe they hate the camera thing
Being the professionals they are; focus stays on the vehicle verse the camera. It keeps things on track, on task & they don't have to worry about "lines". :)
Are you original from the uk
Stuart did spend a few years in the UK :)
I can't believe you tear apart a car to do this it has to be 99% cheaper to have Ford do it
Brick prule
wow
Kinda pisses me off this car has a Volvo platform and nobody knows it..
***** Most of us are very well aware of the Volvo connection. It's one of the strengths of the Taurus/Flex/Explorer/Interceptor platform.
What is the accent going on here? It doesn't sound completely american...
he's from the U.K.
I own a 2014 ford explorer regular Not a police car but police think I work with them
