My 2008 Scion "Cylon" xD with Cylon Eye Scanner and Sound

"Cylon Eye Scanner" installed on 2008 Scion "Cylon" xD.

This is the new "Cylon Eye Scanner" I installed on my little "Cylon Raider" - my latest Cylon-Themed mod on my xD. I also installed Aluminum Billet Grills to mimick the "face" of the Cylon Raider ships in the new series. Audio is a CD-R recording of the Scanner sound from the new series, playing on the car stereo. Check out http://troyfrey.com/scion for a full photo spread of my xD with all of its Cylon mods...!

The xD has a 168/194 bulb mounted inside the headlight casing, they call it a "city light" but it's just part of the parking light system - I replaced the incandecent bulbs with blue LED bulbs I use for car shows, and just took the video with the parking lights turned on...

"Hello Michael" says Kitt!

[CylonxD]

@johnniwonton1976 Yeah, it's actually a Knight Rider setup - but like I mentioned in one of my first posts, the Knight Rider light was a direct copy of the original Cylon scanner eye - the same TV production team created both the original BSG in the late 1970's and Knight Rider in the early 1980's - but the Cylon scanning eye came first... ;)

just out of curiosity, is it legal to have the sweeping red light on the front of a car? Wouldn't the police think you're trying to impersonate an emergency vehicle?

[CylonxD]

@LancePie Well, yes - if you have them turned on while driving. I only use the lights at car shows, when they are off nobody can even see that they are on the car, since they a re hidden behind the grill.

Needs some talking sound. Yeah I know the new guys didn't talk, but how about some classic sound clips.

[CylonxD]

No, sorry - the other Cylon features on the car - a decal on the rear window and a painted engine cover - all have images of the updated Cylon Centurions from the 2005-2009 series only, so a talking Cylon voice from the 1970's series would not really fit the theme of the car. But, you never know, I may mix it up a little at some point in the future... would be a good attention getter at the car shows, I suppose!

Where did you get the reflective scion logo and the side and back and the xd one? Also the one on the windsheild? And what about the grill's where did those come from?

[ReliableSunPower]

Love it

[4x12]

So.... where does one get a kit like this?

[brysow]

I just picked up a silver car and Id like to add the scanner kit. It seems like a lot of the ones online scan too quickly or dont do the scan the same way. Where did you get yours and can you slow down the scan rate on the lights ? Is it connected to the battery and if so any issues with battery drain ?

[itak365]

Does this make other drivers lose control of their cars when you turn it on?

[intromix]

@CylonxD Yeah, that sucks,,, but Im sure you can chance it a few times if ur diving down the road to the grocery store,,, hell,,, Im sure you can get busted quicker on illegal tints?

[ratea5]

how did you get your head lights that blue?

[bjdjmc]

DUDE! too cool man, love it
