is this programable when cars and driver numbers change and if it is what cable does it need for the update. also can you put a longer antenna on it

It can be re-programmed! The easiest way is at the Racing Radios trailer at the race track. They charge $10 bucks and it takes about 5 minutes. You can buy a longer antenna.

I own this scanner, you can program the cars manually, not sure about the track. I never really knew they did it at the track. As for the Antenna, it is a fixed antenna and will not come off. This is not a guess, this is a fact.

They have a list of frequencies being used by each driver available at the track - you have to type them into he radio per user instructions- I use pre-sets that match the car number - gotta update them manually between nationwide and sprint car races. Takes only minutes when you get the sequence down.

Driver and numbers can be put in manually at any time. Antenna I really don't know

I would guess that it picks up radar 2-3 miles in advance if they are pinging other cars. as far as updatable, I do not know since I just purchased mine recently but would be surprised if it was not

With Verizon it sort of works. Gave me maybe an extra bar in city but honestly, it became another dust collector for me. I needed it for use on a ranch where I get one intermittent bar. Using it for this I got no change. I even mounted the antenna in several locations including the top center of the cab of my truck.

I only use it on my iPhone, and didnt work at all. It lost signal and never was able to use it in may car.

The rest have basically answered your question, it worked ok on my phone until I left the house which was the point of it. It could be my phone carrier but do you want to chance that with your car? I never really used its since I couldn't connect once I left the house.

It does not change automatically and it is not so easy to change the station. If you have a station that you can keep it on it works pretty good. I took my antenna off my car so I would not get stations over powering it. That helped

You can buy a cable to extend it. IE. I bought a cable and a female to female adapter (or was it male to male?) to extend it so I could run the cable away from my feet and thru the dash. The cable I used to extend it was a standard network cable I found at Radio Shack. It connects to the J1708 cable via the adapter and into the ScanGuageD unit.

In order to get reliable reception, he needs to buy a separate car kit for each vehicle. Thats what I did and it works fantastic. Just slide it in the cradle of whatever he is driving Pay one subscription and have xm in multiple vehicles. The antenna on it works best with open sky above. Not reliable with any kind of obstructions like roofs, trees, mother ships.

Yes, this unit will allow you to receive local programming. My only complaint (and it may be just my location in Columbus, OH) is that I'm not able to get a signal for any local channels while my car is in motion--- there is actually just one channel that is viewable while in motion and I believe it is transmitted over an ATSC signal. All of the local channels however are viewable when my car is stopped.

It could be a extra remote. All you have to do is program it to your car. I no problem at all.

You can use the oem antenna on your car but a bigger cb antenna will allow you to communicate further out with a cleaner signal. I'm no expert but that's what I've been told.

Its all going to depend on the transponder you buy. Get one that is W2W capable and make sure it is compatible with your vehicle.

you need to go on the pioneer website and download the newer version onto a micro sd card and put it in the front of the radio and update it. its all explained on the pioneer website. if you need help

No, you don't have to program it. There is a button to switch to weather channels, and a noise filter, and a light button. It will scan all the channels too. It has up and down channel buttons...It's not going to be heard 4 miles away... I could only talk about 1 1/2 miles with a 30' base antenna connected...A cheap Uniden 520XL for your car ($40) with a good Wilson or Cobra Magnetic Roof Antenna works way better, gets out about 10 miles, and the package costs about the same as this Cobra...

You can put it on any station you want. You can change it on the transmitter

I have the 2555LMT (with traffic), is the antenna recognized within like the OEM one? I can't use a standard cig. lighter power cord to get traffic updates.
