FAQ
- How easy is it to move the system from car to car?
- The system is modular and generally most components are contained in a console between the seats. Most installers that we use are instructed to use "quick-disconnect" type connectors so that the console can be moved and reinstalled quickly. It takes an installer about the same time to re-install our system as it does to move a light bar system.
