Thanks for the info - I've looked at the results, they are impressive. Too bad I am not on the market for a new detector now, I might have reconsidered my options - I am in Costa Rica sporting Dip. license plates, so the detecting is not as actual as it used to be in the States...
You are in the NYC area - several years ago I have dealt with GUARANTEED ALARM in Brooklyn. I am not sure about the exact address, they are on Coney Island Avenue, just off the Belt Parkway - as you get off the parkway SOUTH, towards the Brighton Beach, they are on the left, they have a shop right there, about 50 meters from the overpass bridge. They installed an alarm that was aftermarket in the E34 that I used to have then, the install was stellar, like the factory. The shop is ran by the Russians, Russians are notorious for driving S600's, G-wagens, M3's, M5's and other high end wheels, and would not allow a high-scool kid f*** up their ride...
Just make sure they are not taking advantage of you - they are notorious for that too...
I don't think mentioning my name will get you anywhere, as my install was back in 2001, the original guys are probably shot dead by the Russian MAFIA or deported by the DHS/INS...lol...
Regardless, worth a try...
Have fun,
