NPPD 2011 Dodge Chargers & 1997 Jeep Cherokee - Update: 07-20-2011 (vid added)

[EMS_Installer]

Well, some of the Sound Off products have yet to arrive (two weeks+ later)... so it's still on hold. I am going down tomorrow and taking the Crown Vics out of service. Nothing really to photograph there. But if I happen upon anything interesting, I'll share.


I believe the Chargers are all marked now. I'll snap a shot of that.

If you wouldn't mind, take a few pics of the Vics's and their consoles if you wouldn't mind. IDK why but I find console set ups interesting.

The Vics? I already have. I'll post those tonight. I'm on my phone right now. I'll post the console that used to be in my car too.

Crown Vic console set-up, they are all the same:

Asked for, delivered.

So, I was doing the tear-down on car 59 and found the guy who did the installs on the Vics spliced non-strobe cable into strobe cable. There were numerous in-line butt connections as well. They got a little toasty.

[EMS_Installer]

Can we have some pics of the interior of the 2011 Chargers??

I didn't have much time with the Chargers today as I was pretty busy with the Vic tear-down, but I snapped these shots for you. I will have more when the install is done.

PS: The install is still on hold, pending delivery of equipment from Whelen (speaker mounts and lightbars straps) and Sound Off (Pinnacle and UltraLight). The orders have been in for over two weeks now... still waiting.

 

[EMS_Installer]

They did get the decals done. This is a design based on the 2009 Charger... so the lines are just right, but they look pretty sharp never the less. The side-on shot was with no flash, the others were with a flash.

But our parts got to you in a timely manner right? :thumbsup:

You know this! :tiphat:

 

[coopers]

You guys can cite people on private property?

Anyway, better stay on topic. I am heading over to pick up one of the Chargers today if all goes well. I think all of the parts are finally in.

Yes. We have a municipal code that lets us cite any criminal and non-criminal traffic violation. It's beautiful. I'll have to hit that place up in North Bend next time I'm up there.

 

[coopers]

Tahoe looks sweet! We have a Tahoe but no pit bars or push bar. :cry:

 

[EMS_Installer]

The install is underway as we speak... currently I am setting up the slicktop. I added a vid of the SO Mighty Night LEDs. I should have "done" pics and vids up Friday at the latest.

More to come... work in progress. Still waiting on two LEDs from Whelen.

 

[VolEms]

Nice work. Keep the vids coming. I would of put a solid Red and solid Blue vertex. In the end its what the costumer wants.

Just taken...

The flashing groups (meaning I will be x-patterning the front lower lighting) are yet to be adjusted.

 

[coopers]

Looks really really good! We just sent our new 2011 somewhere, thinking to get graphics. Can't to see how it looks. Kirkland's 2011/12's look sweet too. Gonna really miss the vics though.

Cool... post pics when you can.


Do you know an Ofc. Noris? He was LPD, but is now MPD.

 

[EMS_Installer]

Those SOS Mighty Nights are STUPID BRIGHT!!! I like them!

 

[EMS_Installer]

Okay, the slicktop is done! YAY! lol


Tomorrow I will shoot some video with the siren and what not, it's too late tonight. Here was a shot I took a couple of hours ago. Also, the lightbar car is getting a Freedom after all. I could not located a good enought deal on a Liberty for them. If anyone has a red/blue low-profile lightbar (Whelen) for sale they can get to me ASAP... hit me up.





The Mighty Night LEDs on the push bumper function as intersection flashers (via the Sound Off LED flasher) or alley lights which over-ride the flash function thanks to some handy rectifying diodes. Vids coming...


ALSO... Some of you are experiencing delayed shipping from me on some items you have coming. I am SO sorry. I have been absolutely wrapped up with this car as I am building it solo and my time frame was quoted to the customer based on me having an extra set of hands. I promise to get you taken care of early this week. If you have any questions, feel free to call me: 206 - nine one zero - 5 two 6 nine





Or if you just want to BS you can call too... as long as I am not working on one of these cars I'll flap yap with ya.

How did you like the module?

How did you like the module?

I like them... makes life easier. I wasn't able to find another part to the stereo, but I was also not digging too deep off track.

Yes I do know him. He's a cool guy. Fun to work with. Was bummed he left but if I lateral to SCSO I'll see him around again.

Yeah, NPPD chose a sharp color for their Chargers... it makes them look so much more aggressive.

Thanks! lol... yeah, I went a little "film festival" on my editing. It was a great way to unwind after long install days.

 

[EMS_Installer]

Great video! What do the steering wheel controls do?

The control the stereo, cruise control, and I think basic climate controls. I am not sure about the last one though. There are controls on both the front and back of the wheel.


I found out about the back ones when I accidentally pressed a button back there and the stereo seemed to come on all by iteself. At first I was like... ah crap... what's going on. lol Then I found the additional controls. :duh:

 

[EMS_Installer]

I have one thing to say about installing on these new Chargers...


EV MODULES!


Also, normally I am a die-hard JottoDesk console fan. On these Chargers however they seem as though they could be a bit more sturdy.

:dielaugh: Well said.

 

[EMS_Installer]

Great video! What do the steering wheel controls do?

So... I just walked out and played with all of the steering wheel controls. The left front controls operate the computer interface in the center of the gauges for fuel economy, mileage, etc. (Up, Down, Right, and Back Buttons) The right front controls operate the cruise controls. The left rear controls operate the stereo stations and the right rear controls operate stereo on/off and volume.

 

[EMS_Installer]

Finally the Whelen IONs arrived and I got them put into the slick top. You'll notice at 0:42 I had to sneak up on the ION, so as not to scare it away.
