FS: Passport 8500 X50 RED ~ 1 week old - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

ironic · 12-16-2006, 12:37 PM

SOLD

$200+shipping obo
$200 picked up obo: San Francisco, Ca

Hardwire cable, case, box, manuals (still in original wrapper) included. Everything the unit came w/ and more.
Hardwire cable is a cut telephone cord pre-set up and pre-tested to work.

FYI, blue and red units are identical (performance/technology/components) save the led colors.

I received the unit as a birthday present from my friends over summer. I installed it for about a week and then removed it. The unti has since then spent its time in its box. The unit therefore is no really 1 week old, but it has only spent about 1 week outside of its box and is in great condition. There is a minor scuff from when I temporarily placed it in my glove compartment when I removed it. Pictures below:

Is this the blue or red one?

thd13 · 12-16-2006, 01:41 PM

The title says red.

SES_D · 12-16-2006, 01:43 PM

whoops didn't notice the title.
damn...i would've bought this if it was in blue

ironic · 12-16-2006, 06:39 PM

fyi, there is absolutely no difference btwn red and blue technology wise, it's simply a difference in the color of the leds; the red and blue are identical units w/ identical performance. leds simply cost more to produce for some reason.

This is so tempting but I'm way over-extended on my Mod Budget. Someone is going to get great deal

brocken · 12-16-2006, 08:49 PM

blue led's are relatively new technology. It took a long time to find the right material to transmit in the blue spectrum. Part of the reason blue ray players(ps3) are expensive and hard to get.

If I didn't have to buy christmas gifts I'd jump on that radar detector. Great price. My wife needs one for her car. I need to repo mine out of her car...haha

Yes, true. But for some reason the blue sells for about 40-50 dollars more than the red.

the red matches the color BMW uses for our interior lights though...

correct, that's due to the production costs of blue leds vs red leds.

blue leds are only fractioanlly more expensive than red, talking pennies, its the cool factor your paying for and passport is talking out of their ass about it
