I started looking at the Project 54 stuff on the website. Looks neat, just seems like a LOT of work and mod's/custom work though. Just look thru the 100+ page install manual.

Looks neat, and definately cleans up the cabin of the cruiser. Seems to be fairly user-friendly from the couple NJSP "in use" pictures.

They do have some competition though:

There is a west coast agency that is going thru a demo with this, and if it catches on there then this could go "big time" out west....much like P54 could out on the east coast.
Do not make Sig angry...he'll just keep ringing the bell.
