Mi nombre es Aki ,de hay Makina con K y no con QU, y se puede escribir Aqui.
Pero para diferenciarlo de ubicación o lugar presente "aquí" se escribe con K.

For us it is hard enough to understand each other even in English and you start now with spanish.

Martin you were not that far off. It is his sister and it was not expensive to get.

Took a while but it was worth it. Having that R3 saved my butt when going to CamaroFest last year.



Keeping the Red Light camera database updated is a a good thing as well and easy to do.


Gotcha. Yeah that is a bit more difficult.

And yup updated database here lol

Also one thing that has just cropped up with this unit. I had to rent a Nissan Rogue while one of our cars was in the shop. One night coming home it was raining and as I pulled up to the garage door the R3 screamed that I was tagged with a laser. It happened a few other times with the Rogue as well when it was wet and I was close to a shiny vehicle (silver Ford pickup and a silver transport trailer). Scared the crap out of me. Other that that, I love it. Loved it more after turning off the X-Band.

X-band should be off by default. If it wasn’t then something was wrong or it came loaded with an OLD firmware.

And yes it can false laser under a few select conditions. One other unit suffers from that as well. Can’t remember at the moment. I researched the heck out of units before deciding this was the unit I wanted.

2 clarifications.

1- The girl in the picture is my sister
2-.The emblem SS, does not incorporate the EU version, but you can ask a GM USA that not much money is sent in less than 1 week.

Greetings friends

For the record, I do not know Spanish. That’s just me trying to pick out a few words that I think I can decipher. I could just go to Google translate, but guessing like this is much more fun. Can’t wait to see how far off I am.

****EDIT**** Just checked Google Translate. Waaaaaay off!!!
Hello Martinjlm. You have guessed right in most words but not in the sense of sentence 😂😂😂.
The girl is my 53-year-old sister, she's not my girlfriend😥, man, what a bad image 😳😥😖😖🤣🤣. He likes to pose for photos.

And the emblem was sent to me from GM USA, fast and at a good price € 19 shipping costs included, in the EU version it is removed because it reminds the SS of the Second World War.

Regards

I will use English to communicate with you.

You can see in this promotional image that Chevrolet launched in 2016, the grill of the fifty is the same as mine, I think the difference is in the edition EU 2017 or USA 2016, here came 1 year later that edition.
Although I confess that I like the American edition more.

The 50th edition was build only 1 year. From end 2016 to mid 2017 it calls MY 17. Did you bought yours with the splitter? Normaly It came without as it needed a new homologation that’s also the reason for the grill. I changed mine to the US version.

Hi. How are you?.
No, I ordered the spliter from the distributor, also, the grill wanted to order it, but by the distributor from Miami, the shipping costs are very expensive, although the shipment is very fast, apart from the customs fees.
Can you tell me where you bought it to compare?
Regards

I ordered mine from a dealer in Michigan. He sent the parts to Texas were we have a container. We ship all our parts from the US via a container. The next container will depart from Texas in 18 days. Do you know how many 50th are in Spain.

I have had mine for almost a year so probably older firmware because it definitely was enabled.

I researched the heck out of mine as well. R3 is definitely the way to go. I do regret not buying the Uniden power harness so I would have the remote mute button which I could have put around lower console somewhere. Not a biggie though.

Gotcha. Yeah must have been older firmware. X band is defunct everywhere lol.

And I hear mixed reviews on that button/kit.
