Federal Signal Smart Siren? New Compact Model?

Any Federal Signal Reps out there? Saw this baby installed in an LAPD Detectives car yesterday, but can't seem to find it in the FedSig catalog. Looks like a mini version of the SS, but with less buttons (6). Sure would be nice if Federal Signal could come up with a product similar to the Touch Tek VI that just controls a relay box.

Nice. I could use that.

I like the water bottle holder shoved under the airbag cover... :o

Well, nothing gives away your position doing surveillance more than a pile of cigarrette butts on the pavement so they have to make do....

That looks like it is a modern 80K controller. Maybe FedSig finally decided to update the control panels.

Looking at Federal Signal's documentation online I found this:
http://www.fedsig.com/products/docs/install/2562173.pdf

Looks like they made them special for LAPD.

For what it's worth, I cut the buttons on one of these when I was finishing a really nice install. No problem I thought, I'll just call FedSig and order a new button pad rubber thingy. No Sir! They say that part is not available, and I have to order the whole control head, for $200 and change. $(*@#! I carefully glued the damage I had done and you'd hardly even know. But it chapped my hide.

So now all somebody's gotta do is call Federal and see if it can be ordered by non-LAPD.

It's the prototype controller for FS's newest lightbar in conjunction with the existing Smart Siren. It's in evaluation stages and that's all I can say except that should it go into production, it would be a significant improvement to existing lightbars.

Speaking of the cup holders.
Are they anything special or do they just hook behind/onto the center trim?

The Cup holders simply slide behind the moulding on the crown vic. You can find those cup holders at any auto parts store. I found one here... http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDeta ... mber=05561

As for the Hummer above, yes, the pics were taken at the Heroes Airshow at Hansen Dam, Lake View Terrace, CA.
