Project Stealth Bike - Blinder M25X Install

Today Needful Toyz is testing and installing our New WIRELESS version of Blinder M25 Xtreme Laser Jammer alert system. You might say that this has been done before? True, but this time we are installing on a brand new sport bike! We call it Project Stealth Bike. Our wireless Blinder system is configured for wireless Audio and Visual alerts via the Cheetah Vizalert Helmet system. The Cheetah Vizalert integrates laser diffusers of all makes and models, including Blinder M25 and M45, Laser Pro Park, Lidatek LE30, Target LT400, and even Laser Defender laser jammers. Our Jammer of choice though is the Blinder M25 which is the upgraded version of the Blinder M20 with higher power output, for all police lidar.

If you are not familiar with the Cheetah Vizalert system, you might not know, it is waterproof, auto dimming, wireless of course, motion sensitive for prolonged battery life, and can alert you to multiple threats by color and signal strength of the LED display. Radar Detector interfaces are also available for Beltronics STI Driver, and others, but that will be in the soon future. The Vizalert helmet display is made for full face, half face or even flip up type helmets. All accessories are included for easy helmet install for any model. Its universal.

Installation: Pretty straight forward. We mounted the Blinder m25 in front and in rear to give us the ultimate Stealth Bike. All we need now is paint from the F22 stealth fighter Jet! Second best paint would be a handy can of our very popular VEIL stealth coating which was easily applied to our headlights and license plate with its spray paint type can. Laser VEIL cuts down on light reflection from police lidar, giving the user added time to adjust there speed. Best mounting positions for the M25 heads are level to the ground, right below the front air dam, and in the rear below our license plate. You can also install under your tail below your break lights if you have relocated your plate elsewhere.

System power is easy, Cheetah pre-wires the AudioNODE, powerNODE, and laser jammer interface for us, plus everything else is plug n play. I wire the Cheetah powerNODE to my battery, or I could have even tapped into any hot source. No need for a switched source since the powerNODE actually senses the engine running and turns the whole unit on and off automatically! This item is almost a must have by itself for other projects including car stereos. Plug in type cables from the Blinder heads are routed under the seat plugged into the Blinder brain, then the supplied cable by Cheetah connects from the Blinder brain to the Cheetah Wireless AudioNode. The AudioNode is the key unit that sends the signal to the wireless helmet display. A few zip ties here and there and we were done. The Cheetah Vizalert kit took only 20 min or so to install, then add whatever time you may need secure the Blinder heads per your application. Everything was very straight forward. You don’t need a Technical wiz like us at Needufultoyz to install one!

A few step by step motorcycle install pictures are available – Just email us. We can even help you install a wireless radar detector too. Lots of pictures and videos available at http://www.needfultoyz.com/

Tech dept -

Now you guys can see what it is like to work with scientist types!!

Well as you can see that our engineer guys get way to sciency on us and get caught up in the Lab. He is running late and i am going to be laying the smack on him and all the geeks in the lab. He will be posting within the hour i promise or he will be lost mysteriously.

An apple a day keeps the Doc away, but a Blinder in your car will keep the cops stuck to the tar.

Good morning and i am back today with some info on what it takes to get out there in your toyz and put the rubber to the road, without getting a ticket.
We have been working with the Blinder M-25 laser Jammer detectors and the M45 Laser Jammers as well.
Now you may be wondering how it is that i know if you can speed without getting a ticket or not. Well here is some inside info for all of you checking in on the Needfultoyz.com blog or at our needfultoyz.com site, old needful nick here used to be a police officer. I have been out there running radar detectors and even doing what we used to call "blue light specials" which is a fun way of saying a speeding ticket emphasis.

I got a call about two weeks ago from a independent testing company, i will be happy to name later, and they had some concerns about some radar detector and Lazer jammers.
After talking to the guy i walked over to the needfultoyz.com test lab, downstairs, and rattle the cages of our engineers. I love messing with them. But i told them my concern was about our Blinder M25 and our Blinder M45 laser jammers. I asked them to put these puppies to the tests out in the field. So this week they are going to be setting that up in our company test vehicle which is a 86' porsche 911 targa carrera modified with a 3.4 litre turbo/supercharged engine with european stugart suspension. Also it is a good idea if we can get some readers rides to post some responses and some of their actual experiences with it. So we will be coming back tomorrow morning with some feedback on our test of the blinder m25 and then when we get back next wednesday on the new year we will post our results for the blinder m45.
So if anyone out there has an experience and some opnions to post about the Blinder Laser Jammers then post on here and we can have some unbiased opnions.
We are going to take our test porsche out and speed around and put ours to the test. Nothing a cop likes more than to take his toyz speeding on the race track. We are all about safety you know here at needfultoyz.com
All of us at needfultoyz.com wish you a safe and enjoyable new years celebration.

Would you like to own your own Dynometer for less?

If you have any type of toyz you race on the weekends then you know the value of having the availability of using a dynometer. When professional race car teams invest up to $100,000.00 dollars into an egnine for one race on Saturday, they need to know exactly what the engine can do and exact horsepower numbers. Well if you have an extra $50,000 to $100,000 dollars sitting around, you can buy and install a dyno in your shop or garage.

If you are like the rest of us out here in the real world, then that kind of investment is out of the question. But if you are like me and have a car like a porsche or a tuner import with about $20,000 just in the engine and do the weekend runs at the local strip, you can either go to a dyno shop and plunk down $350-$500 for your car to run three passes.

Now there is an option available to enthusiasts like you and I, it is the PLX custom Guage Library, OBD, and Data Logger from PLX.

First of all the guages are great, they replace analog or even digital guages that look and read only what the factory decided what they should do. The PLX guages or organic. What does that mean? It means that you can change the face of the guages to any look you want with HDTV picture quality. They install in minutes as easy as a OEM replacement from the factory. They are designed to be do what you want them to do as a warning to you for rpms or oil temps or anything you need to have monitored. If you need more than just guage monitoring then PLX also has the 200-OBD unit. This is a guage that monitors off of your OBD II plug in on your 1996 or newer vehicle. Just plug it in and monitor all your sensors. It is like talking to your cars computer while driving. The only thing better is to have the PLX Imf Data Logger.

Over the next few weeks we will be playing with and testing the three items here from PLX and letting you know how they do in our tests and how they will do on your vehicles.

These are the toyz the winning teams use for the type of toy in the picture next to me.

Well what can i say. the people over at technorati do have a gauge on tech news and so we are linking up.

Merry Christmas Too All and To All A Good Night!!!!!!!!!

Ok, ok, so i lied to you here in blogoshpere.

I found some time to get to my laptop and plug away.

Just lets you know how dedicated the

family here at needfultoyz really are.

Just a note from old saint "NeedFul Nick" ha ha:

This time of year some complain and some rejoice.

For some of us, there is plenty and for some there is no choice. No, i did not try to make that rhyme.

This is a time of year that brings to mind all of the achievements and struggles and all the fun times.

It is not about religion nor is it about the size of a gift

maybe it should be more about loving eachother and not letting relationships drift. (ok, ok so it rhymes)

To us, it is not about dollars or ribbons and bows,

it is more about caring for people and letting them know.

So no matter your religion,

no matter you creed,

we at NeedFulToyZ.com

wish you all a warm, safe holiday and may you have what you NEED.

A quick note from me to the little ones,

keep your eye out for saint nick

come on the guy is old as time, without one of our toyz, he is an accident waiting to happen.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
(NeedFul Nick)

Hummer Review from the engineer that has no Fear!!!!!!

Today we are checking out the highest quality seat H2 Hummer Third Row Seat we have seen on the market That’s why Needful Toyz is carrying it. Not only are you able to choose your own factory matching colors in Wheat or Ebony, you also can choose if you want Leather or Vinyl seating surface. The Leather is oh so soft and its worth the upgrade, but then again most people have there kids in the back so vinyl surface might be a better bet. Your choice all depends on the luxury accessories you want. Needfultoyz offers a price that is UNMATCHED by any other company. How is that possible you wonder? Its because each 3rd row jump seat is CUSTOM made for you and shipped direct from the factory to your door! Needfuls manufacturers are not only the best because they make the best; they are actually an OEM seating supplier for many GM vehicles including the 2008 GM Hummer!!! That’s right, custom aftermarket rear seating that is made for your H1 or H2 hummer. Needful Toyz supplies seating by those who specifically specialize in GM Hummers.

So let’s go over some of the benefits of this rear sofa seat that you cant get from your factory hummer seat option. First off, this is a full sized 3rd row seat. You get seatbelts for two, with an option to add for a third person. With the factory option hummer third row seat, you only have room for one. Second, the factory rear seat faces sideways. How many times have I heard of people going crazy sitting in a backseat getting car sick from having to face sideways? It happens all the time. Thirdly, you might think that you are going to loose your precious cargo area. You are actually getting a seat that slides on rails and folds flat for use as storage space. No need to remove the 3rd row seat. Lastly, when we reviewed this seat we wondered how EASY it would be to install? All I can say is if you can turn a wrench and operate a drill you have all the skills you need. Full color instructions are included or can be downloaded at http://www.needfultoyz.com/ at anytime. 2003-2004 H2 hummers already have the two factory mounting points needed to bolt it in. All hardware is provided. Seat includes the sliding rails giving it 8” of travel. For 2005 and up model hummers, the seating only requires you to drill one addition hole besides the factory third row seat mounting hole. That’s it! As always some people feel uncomfortable installing the seat. For those, we recommend getting any seating or stereo shop to help you install it. It’s always nice to have a few people around to do the lifting and bolt in for you.

I hope you all find our review helpful. If you have any additional questions visit Needful Toyz website or feel free to post below.

If Santa hummed the skies in a Hummer???

Alright guys. Tomorrow i will be working with one of our in house engineer types to answer a question for the hummer crowd.

No i am not one of those, if i could afford one i would have to live in it.

For the sport utility crew and the hummer owners we have a review coming from our test department. So check it out tomorrow by 10 am.

A reminder also, we are going to be doing some window cleaning here at the old homestead and won't be around for christmas eve or christmas, so look for us the 26th.

Ok, good morning everyone of my so far limited fans.

I worked last night and most of this morning on a new product out from goprocamera. As you see to the right is a picture of the motorcycle mounted camera i played with.

I got the box and opened it up and from there the torture test began.

I have worked with tons of electronics and specifically i have done audio visual production and camera man work for some time now and usually it is a giant pain in the "&$$".

First off i have to say that the instructions that come with it are stupid proof, thankfully!

I had it out of the box and ready to mount on the nick-mobile within 10 minutes or maybe less. Whoa!!!

It took me less time to get this baby up and running than it would have taken me to go to walmart and buy a unit thatis cheaper and may not work.

The camera comes in a waterproof and shock proof case. It was simple to use and work with even while in the casing.

The functions are easy to learn and play with. It is a cinch to upload to your computer and even the television. You don't have to load any software or buy any additional junk to get this baby to work.

The quality of the pictures and video were better than one of my expensive digital cameras i have used for years.

This thing comes with great quick connect and disconnect mounts for your helmet or vehicle.

Over the christmas holiday i am going to take it out and do some impact testing and then come back with the details or whether or not it made it.

I guess you could even use this to do some filming at home where the possibility of something hitting your camera might be of concern. (catching a spouse cheating, or spy filming.)

Well there is my opinion so far on this new toy. go pro cameras so far have impressed me and that is why we will be selling them at sick prices here at "needfultoyz.com"

http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelvideo/8/584/0/video.aspx Hey try clicking on this link and you can go to see the yamaha test of the camera on the back of a bike and bug eating speed. I know that the next time i take my katana out, that at least someone will be able to see my tricks.

I will be talking about the a new toy tomorrow!!!

Checking with us here tomorrow by 10am and i will be rippin into a new high tech toy.
