Very cool! I love the level of detail you go into to explain the installation & features, and especially showing the particular scenarios it's capable of. Subscribed!
Thank you very much! This was a very detailed buildup, and everything "behind the scenes" as far as wiring was quite the trick too! Keep following for more, and share with friends! Cheers ~Ben
Thank ya much! We're glad to have you following our projects, stay tuned as there's always something interesting going on at the shop! ....we're on facebook too ;-)
Love the build, but another cool thing you could do is mount the mPowers under the spoiler, three on each side, then take advantage of dual color and BluePrint, and use them as a traffic advisor in addition to warning. But this is amazing. Also, what's the difference between the rear interior nForce lightbar, and the interior nForce light stick?
Spartemex, thanks for watching. At the time of this build, the mpower spoiler brackets were still in the design process. We have used them on builds since and love them. As for the rear interior bar, this was a prototype. The actually rear interior bar will be out this month and the major difference between the bar and the stick is that the bar mounts directly to the hatch and mounts tight to the glass for no rear flashback. We will also being doing projects later this year that involve using mpowers as warning and arrow. At this time thou, we have to use a external module to do arrow functions since it is not an option in blueprint yet. We will be using a D&R module and controlling it with blueprint. The interior bar in this video is also half dual color, and half tri color to get us the function of warning, arrow, and braking. Thanks again for watching!
The Dual Stalker RADAR (you can see the counting unit's screen at about 1:58) is great for assessing speed of moving targets while the vehicle itself is in motion, and is far more hands-off than the VASCAR. The two technologies work well together so the officer has choices when needed for situations that highlight each system's strengths. Cheers!
So is it possible to setup blueprint after being delivered from the emergency lighting business? My fire chief just got an all sound off package and it has dual colored intersector mirror lights that flash red white all the time and I think the white should only be on for switch position 3 which turns on the other white lighting. So is there a way to change it without having to take it somewhere to get it fixed?
Firstly, I agree on the flashing white to be on with the level '3' of the multi-level switching. If you've got the blueprint system in the vehicle, it should be extremely easy for those lights to be changed, and even have the solid white as an option for flooding a scene with light. IF it was wired into the blueprint appropriately. For the question about the reprogramming.... your blueprint installer should be the one to make those changes, as they have the software, and also the programming language skills to do so quickly. I'd hope your blueprint installer would make at least one 'free' programming adjustment, as an end user usually only knows how the vehicle fits into his daily life only after they use the rig for a few days. BUT the changes you suggest seem straight forward and the simple programming should incur only very nominal cost if any (again, I don't know your installer so I can't speak on their behalf) Cheers~Ben
We've been looking for almost this exact set up. How much of the driver's vision is obstructed by the radar mounted along the headliner? Looks like an awesome set up
Just curious how he gets away with running blue on the drivers side of the vehicle, wisconsin vehicle code is pretty strict. And even reference that red drivers side and blue passenger is code.
This is the best setup I've seen in a non demo vehicle
One of the better builds I've seen... those lighting presets are top notch.
By far one of the best slick top units I have seen

That synchronized flash pattern makes the lighting footprint sooo much more potent.
You guys really do some nice work

I noticed theirs a keypad installed on the drivers side door. Did you have to wire it in?. Or was it one of those sticky keypads that uses a RF freq
Its a Ford mod that is a sticky pad. Not hard wired
Nice work guys that's a nice looking ford interceptor utility u guys worked on Cool Hi from Canada
Thank ya much! We're glad to have you following our projects, stay tuned as there's always something interesting going on at the shop! ....we're on facebook too ;-)
Whomever spec'd this unit has excellent taste. The only think I personally don't prefer is the solid white ILB flashing in pursuit mode.
Nice Work guys!
Thank you, thank you! The crew at SoundOFF were great teachers, and the support for this new product is AMAZING!!! ;-) ~Ben

What RADAR does that car use? I see the VASCAR box but am confused why it has a traditional RADAR antenna as well.

Welp guess I know where I wanna bring my new utility
We're happy to take customers from across Wisconsin! Give Brian a call at the shop 715-340-5718 and I'm sure he can get ya sorted out!! Cheers ~Ben

Oh my God how many times are you going to say sound off blue print controller I feel like I'm watching an info commercial
What can I say... I had BluePrint on the brain! :-) ~BN
Too long. Didn't watch
Hahaha
First
But....... wins nothing ;-) LOL
Thanks for keeping up with our videos!! Cheers! ~Ben
Rather use Whelen for everything
Sad that %90 of departments out there never do any of this and just want ON or OFF and never use any other options available to them.
