The police in my area $4000 :eek: for the siren, speaker (maybe?), head light flasher, ignition bypass and installation. I won't name the company that is doing this but they make the amp and controller and install Code 3 speakers.


The amp controls the siren, lights and the controller is similar to the C3 RLS except the rotary switch also acts as the pursuit slider would. It is not a very featured siren amplifier or package but it is soooo expensive :!: :!: :!:


What would be a good alternative. They are used to control mainly full led MX7000s but also some Defenders and the ignition bypass is made by the police themselves for the rest of the vehicles that they use.

Oh. I'm sorry. :oops: I knew I failed english class but I didn't know I was that bad. And I wrote it when I was tired.


If I could find a photo of what I mean I would show you but the website was changed.


The police pay 'Company A' $4000 to supply and install siren amplifiers, HLF, siren/light controllers and a ignition bypass system.


The siren/light controllers rotary switch acts as a pursuit slider would as it goes from Standby > Lower level LEDs > All leds > Wail > Yelp > Hilo


The MX7000 is a custom made by either the police employees or Britax (Code 3 dealer in Australia)


The police employees have made there own ignition bypass for vehicles that are not fitted by 'Company A'.

What state are you in in Aus . I have never seen a MX7000 in Australia. I have seen the Code 360. Is your question if $4000 aud is expensive to install the L&S?

MX7000s are actually very popular and this is QLD but NSW, Vic, WA use them aswell. Also Code 360's are only used on Ambulances, but a similar product made by Hazard (Ecco) is what is used in most other states.

My mistake the only ones in NSW who use it are the Highway Patrol . They use the MX7000 with LED's in the lower level. ai950.photobucket.com_albums_ad345_VolEms_GreenPolicecar.jpgai950.photobucket.com_albums_ad345_VolEms_NSWPolice.jpg
