I dont have a good feeling about this. They missed their promised ship date. Seems they haven't finalized the production firmware. And because they took orders too early they have a massive backlog now. This could take a couple of months.

Have they already charged our cards?

Thanks for the update.

I called in to add the Live cord so I can test it on the portable before installing it on the STIR+ in the M5. Also I think Live is more valuable on a portable than on the M5 since i dont have laser jammers on a rental car so i need more advance notice of laser.

They said I should recieve my order mid-late July (I placed it June 14).

I doubt they will deviate from order sequence.

Maybe the agents didn't know and just guessed, or maybe he lied to me.

The Stir+ will be much better than the Max. Don't delay your install. The Max doesn't have band segmentation which means it won't compare against instant on or off axis detection.
