2007 550i 6-spd----> Premium package, sport package, Logic7, heated everything, Rogue Engineering SSK, CDV removal, hardwire V1 install, aFe cold air intake, Custom Magnaflow exhaust....
Does anyone on the forum have a police scanner on their car?? From what I read seems like a pretty good system and probably more effective than V1 or any radar detector. Uniden offers many models and the BCT 12 is pretty interesting...anyone can comment on this??

Well yeah....need to get the cops off my back....
Also, I follwed Don Juan's thread on hardwiring the V1...can I hardwire the scanner by clipping it into the same green-yellow wire as the V1 or would it be too much for the wire to handle??

Well the BCT 12 I was looking at is not available anymore and I cannot find it anywhere online....anyone know where I can get it??
They sell the BCT-8 anywhere...gors for about 160 on ebay new...I would prefer the discontinued BCT-12 model since its just the size of a V1. I want to discreetly install the scanner. One more question....is it even legal? I read around and state that its illegal in some states and for MA its "no known laws regarding the use" of scanners. Does it mean i'm good to go??
