Install Blinder M27
Hey guys,
I just ordered a Blinder M27 Laser Jammer to put on the RS4 and I wasn't sure if anyone else had experience with these. I'm going to have the Audi dealer install the unit so I'm not overly concerned about the install, but figured I'd ask to see if anyone has any recommendations or opinions.

I did some research and it appears that only some states have outlawed laser jammers. Radar jammers, on the other hand, are illegal in all states. Nonetheless, I'm not overly concerned.

Radar Jammers are illegal on a federal level per the FCC, not laser jammers. Laser in the US is still regulated by the FDA, not the FCC (unless this has recently changed). Individual states have outlawed laser jammers, but is not a federal level FCC statute.

Any electronic device sold in the USA must have a FCC ID number on it to be legally sold. Whether it radiates RF energy intentionally (cell phones) or un-intentionally (a computer), there are rules for such devices. Don't beleive me, look at your TV, cell phone, wireless router, pager, radio, computer, printer,radar detector....all of them will have some label, be it very small that has a ID number on it...Lots of junk from China and Asia in general gets in here that have counterfit product FCC ID's stamped on them. Same for CEPT. As for this jammer, let me see a real test by a independent certified lab with a published report to show me that it actually works. So this device is an un-intentional radiator since it has electronics inside it, it still must meet any type of limits for those types of devices.

You might be right, I'm not sure to be honest with you but I appreciate the opinion nonetheless. The more important legality for me is the potential for the police officer to give me a ticket for possessing the unit, not the FCC, etc. I just sent the install guide to my friend at the Audi dealership and he's going to show a tech to see if there is a location to effectively mount the unit without cutting the mesh. If there is no such location I may just send it back.
