Mr Random Reviews is that a sccy cpx-2?
That was a Kel Tec 9mm
yo Random.
I have a '00 P71 interceptor with a random momentary toggle above the rear defroster with a red button. I want to say its for a former gun/shotgun rack but have no idea. any suggestions? also looks like I got lucky. I have a whalen siren in the front and two fiaa horns!
oh and the motorola comm/radio unit in the trunk lol
Jason Broadhurst Keltec... but not 9mm... it was a first generation P3AT.
Thanks , didn't know !!
If you tap on the horn 3 times and say, "there's no place like home", You will be transported to the nearest Donut shop. That wasn't me. I left my computer on and went to the store. My daughter's boyfriend, at the time, thought it would be funny to post stuff on my RUclips channel, and especially my FB account. My Aunt messaged me back wondering how I could say such mean things to her. And then blocked me. So, I apologize if this comment was rude.
🤣🤣🤣
😆😆😭😭🤣🤣☠️☠️💀💀✅✅⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️😭😭😭😭
i tapped 3 times but sadly nothing happened, because the horn wires were disconnected
The "Anti theft" is called secure idle its for police to leave the Vehichles running at all times
Do you know about that and how to disable or by pass it
BTW, forget the glove box, there are MILLIONS of ford fleet vehicles that are keyed with a single ford fleet key. If you have a Vic with the fleet key, you can have the doors, trunk, and ignition re-keyed for ~$300, but I would keep that fleet key for survival type shit.
i have had a crown vic for 6 years and never new about that second charging station thanks for the help brother
the box that is left behind the grille is not the siren. It is a 100 or sometimes 200 watt siren/pa speaker. it will not work unless you buy a siren box and install it, then run the wires to the speaker. So a switch from the parts store won't help you. also the strobe lights require a strobe power supply which usually mounts in the trunk and the wires are run to it, then a switch is run to the power supply.
Gray Alley THIS ^
Gray Alley thank you for taking these words outta my mouth
I still have that box. I wish I could post pictures on here 😂
Yeah this guy has no idea what he's talking about Lmao the factory siren location is on the passenger side behind the bumper.
LoudChevyNoah Never seen one back there before. All the speaker brackets are designed to be placed in the grille mounted just beside the hood latch.
I found that all crown Vic's have the traction control button and pedal adjustment button. The P71s have a different panel then the P7Bs so they are actually covered. So if you have a P71 and want those features just find a panel off a 7B and you're good to go
*talks about how not everyone knows everything about the crown vics so they are hidden secrets*
"Okay guys so the number two thing"
*Pulls cupholders out*
I have a 09 p71 you know anything about a driver side rear end problem? thanks for the videos
Are 2 of the vics from the same department? A lot of police departments did the factory option "keyed alike" where they all have the same key...
My P71 came without a glovebox insert, just the door. Now I've never had a locking glovebox so I just replaced the whole thing with a unit from a Grand Marquis. You convinced me to try my key on the glovebox door. Sure enough it works! That is absolutely insane. Thanks!
Just so we're clear, you risk impersonation charges of you rewire the siren or the strobes.
Also, the strobes require a high voltage module that can be difficult to acquire as its placed from the factory.
He is a cop, doesnt have to impersonate. Now whether or not his department would reprimand him for having them on his personal vehicle is a different story
It drives me crazy when the radio volume increases!
mello >>> yes it’s possessed and it turns down on its own too. Very annoying. But I can live with it for now.
@@B3burner just replace the radio with a pioneer radio and it looks more modern and it’s higher quality anyway
Kick Ass FORD logo on the grille, dude!👍
Ayyy new gopro, video quality is great. Keep it up, Mr. Random.
edit:
Hi. I'm a Philadelphia Police officer(33+ years). We had a few of our Crown Victorias that we were able to remove the keys from, and they would still run. I now own a 2007 Crown Victoria (P1) that I've owned for a little over a year. I'm definitely going to check to see if any, what unknown secrets there my be in my vehicle. Thank you for sharing this video.
I love guns. Just got my Florida ccw. Nice video btw
The thing with the keys is pretty common across the big three from that era. I could open the doors to my 92 Sierra with anything that resembled the stock key. Once unlocked it with the mailbox key belonging to the store clerk where I happened to lock the keys in the truck. My buddy had a late 90’s Dodge Caravan you could unlock with a dime. Ignitions seemed to be a bit more secure but doors and glove boxes were a different story.
I would really like to say THANX, this is my first police interceptor, I have learned a lot from your videos, you figure out how to hook up the strobes in the headlights please post thanx. keep up the good work
I'm in this position now
Please tell me you don't keep your "Precious Metal" in your car when it is parked.... Any one who breaks into your car and finds the glove box locked will open said glove box... a screw driver will open any glove box, you don' t need a key.
Screw driver isn't the most reliable method but seriously, gloveboxes aren't the most secure things in the planet, keeping anything of value that isn't necessary in there while you are not is moronic
That one feature is speed adaptive sound. It's on a lot of cars, but older ones generally need you to activate it cause it's off by default
the cars are known as "Keyed Alike" and the departments then only have a couple different key cuts. easier to manage.
Cup holders are rare actually now it seems as departments usually throw them out.
The adjustable pedals are because officers heights are varying more then they used to, ford wanted to adapt the cars to different officers.
Please stop posting false information about these cars. It's getting a bit irritating.
But I will say your black vic is a decent looking vic. If you want to actually learn about these cars, message me.
yeah, this dude is spreading a lot of dis-information. Some of his videos interceptor equipment is not factory and is most likely department contractor installed. I have a "admin" p71 with different options I won't mention due to officer's safety.
whats the button on the stick shift?
@@tknovianj.j1641 overdrive
My 2001 Ford Taurus SEL has a lot of those features like the adjustable pedals and seats you mentioned in your videos.
I just got a 07 crown Vic p71 and I don't know anything about it so thanks for showing
are they a way to add the function of taking your key out but keep it running the way those work?
Thanks again Mr Random. about the Vick
hey there... where did you buy your Ford blue lives matter emblem for the front of your car ?
I have owned one for 6 years and didn't know about half of it. Thanks again.
new 2003 crown vic owner here... does the crown vic have a reset button for the radio which stopped working after i put in a new battery? cd and tape work but radio just has white noise now on the stations....thanks ... love the vids!
O shoot. I did not know about the second plug. I found in in my 2012. Thanks bro. Thats y i watch ur videos. This is my 12tg cvpi. And never even knew that.
Mr random i really wish I knew how to message you. I just bought my first crown victoria 2007 pi. it was a retired detectives car. still has it's undercover lights behind the grill. it still has the tracking box and all the power mains for it but all the wires are just cut. I might have to make you a video
hey whats up bro, if you have instagram just add me you can message me there @mr random reviews
Loving your videos! Looking at a 2010....now I’m thinking...”Go for it!”
Do you have a lumbar support button on the bottom front of your driver seat (2011) I would’ve never found it if I wasn’t trying to fix something. I’m really curious to know if you No it’s there
i really like your videos when i get my license and try to get one this teaches me things that it may have that can be useful.
my 2011 still has the strobes like that, and they left the controller for them in the trunk. So, I hooked them up to a simple switch. I like to sit sometimes and get out and listen to how they sound haha..
Thank you for clarifying what the p71 is. Oh that's so strange that it can be applied to the p71 I'll disable that. Do you have any videos on electronic fixes, replacing the radio to where you have nav working. Thank you
Uhhhh don't keep valubles in glove box maybe?
I know quite a few departments had 1 key that each officer carried that could start and unlock all their cars.
I ran a Taxi company and had a big box of keys for old and current cars and if someone lost keys or locked them in car it never took more than a few minutes to unlock the car or find a set that would start car
That's because there are only 5 - 10 (can't remember how many exactly) keys that fit these cars.
i think its actually 20 something different cuts. I know that the cars lock cylinders are often so worn out after a while you can open them up with bike lock keys. I've done it on one before. lol.
I just had the intake manifold changed on my 06 p71 crown vic. How long do they last? Mine was leaking coolant ...
Jeff R i had a similar issue and replaced it 6months ago..still going strong
You probably mean had it replaced by somone
On the power points they are still both wired to be hot only when the key is in on/acc position; on my '08 Marquis I snipped the power wire going to the lower one and tapped into the constant power feed to the radio, This way my lower one is always hot to charge my phone or whatever but the upper one switches on/off with the key for my dash cam. Cheap and easy hack for those comfortable with wiring diagrams etc. ;)
my first vehicle was a 2000 p71 i got rid of it then a friend of mine bought it and totaled it i kinda regret getting rid of it but it was horrible in the snow especially in north western pa
The siren is just a speaker, by the way. It's a 100 watt speaker. You need a specific siren amp to actually have police siren sounds. About $250 on amazon, and also is a felony to have in my state.
I own a 2011 crown vic, but because it used to have lights and sirens, the horn doesnt work. I've checked the fuses and looked at wiring diagrams, but I didnt see any that were blown/missing. I dont want to tear apart my entire steering column to reconnect the wire, do you know what else it could be?
Cassandra McGarry Try replacing the horn. It’s an easy enough job, there are likely several how to vids on how to do it.
@@enlightenedrenegade472 I'll try it, thank you
Are we even legally allowed to purchase idle secure? And if so, where can you purchase them at? My 2006 p71 had almost everything removed except the divider mounts, and push bar. I would like to have the idle secure reinstalled to my car, It’s very convenient.
Edit: I’ve been surfing the web to find a site that sells them
i have a question last vid..you mentioned ac problems with the vacuum port losing presure you said you could fix it for 40 dollars can i know how
What’s the significance of the skull decal with the blue line flag running vertically, on your passenger airbag cover?
It looks almost like a Metal Mulisha decal.
the pedal adjust is for shorter drivers, my lincoln town car executive L(long wheel base) has this feature, im 6'3" and I can adjust it so that I can barely touch the pedals lol, and I can also make it as short as a person thats like 4'11" could drive it lol, so it cant be because of the cage, on the lincolns it was standard also the traction control button, on the mercury it might have been too and on the crown vics was probably optional like the traction control button. also the 2 front chargers are the same, but the lincoln doesnt have the cup holders on that tray, it had them on the center console seat armrest combo thingy mcjig lol
I'm one of them short ones lolol thanks I'm new to this car, I'm happy I'll be able to drive it without a ladder hahaha.
My 2000 CV cupholder does not fit a Yeti or Ozark trail mug, it is to small. another difference is the remote 12VDC plug in is down on the passenger side. I keep one of those lit up plugs in it so I can plug in usb devices and it lights the side my wife sits on at night. If I can find a newer CV, I will see if the cupholder is easily swappable. The CV is my choice for a highway car. I have a friend who has access to the NMO mount VHF antenna for the P71. I am a ham radio user and these antennas are good for 2 M, they also have a UHF antenna that mounts on the car, so I can put my 70CM radio in.
my 2000 f150 I could start it and take the key out does that mean it was a cop truck 😂
Probably not it's probably just your key cylinder is broke
😆 😆
No old trucks can do that
Thank you bro. I'm the new owner you made this for. I appreciate it
I have an 09 crown vic police interceptor there is a round button on the corner of the driver floor board if you push the e brake down its right behind it wouldn't even see it if you didn't look good enough I haven't pushed it yet just wondering what it could be
Hey bro so my husband bought me a crown Vic 08 police interceptor and I have a blue switch I'm not sure what that does at all.
The siren box needs the right frequency to emit a siren. It is just an over sized speaker. And as for the key opening the glove box is because that one key is cut close enough to open the lock
That anti-theft you talk about is not factory and aftermarket. It was an option on the remote start I installed on mines. Some departments will install them but there will be a switch you have to push to let the system know you are taking the key out. On my remote start, I push the remote start button once, the doors then unlock signaling that it is safe to take out the key and the car will remain on. Like you said, when someone jumps in and presses the brake pedal to put the car in gear, the engine shuts down.
Excellent video, all the hidden features didn't see that one coming, I'm in the process of buying 2011, Crown Vic, 93000 miles drama 2700 idling hours, give me a shout back what do you think thank you very much
5.32 We have this on all British Emergency vehicles. (police,Fire,Ambulance) its so when you arrive on scene you can keep you Blue lights on without killing the vehicle battery. We call it Run Flat.
i always give your videos a thumbs up keep up the good work
Ernest Rice Thanks man i appreciate that
Me too... I've been a subscriber since you were in low triple digits total subscribers. It's been really neat to see your views and subscribers skyrocket!
WJ Handy Dad Thanks man youll be hitting that 1k soon!
They left the siren in my current P71 but I am NOT going to hook it up because it would be too tempting to use it. :) I wonder how big of a deal the glove box lock is - I wouldn't think it's secure enough to keep out a thief regardless of the key.
Lmao man it would come in very handy on traffic
Mr Random Reviews even more handy to the prosecutors during your trial 😂😂😂
That box behind the grille is not a siren it is a siren or pa speaker. The siren box with all the siren times is separate, it hooks up to the speaker. So a simple switch from the parts store will do you no good. this guy is clueless
Gray Alley u can hook a walkie talkie mic thing then the pa will work so u can tell everybody who is a idiot at driving to get out of ur way xD
And the strobe lights need a control box as well the strobes run about 350 volts
i have a 02 crown vic police interceptor there is a red switch under the dash trunk release what is or was its purpose?
2:33 That mini gun though😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That radio feature explains my gremlin....sometimes the radio goes full blast and I can't turn it down. Have to shut it off and radio volume wont reset until car is shut off
Called a fleet key you can get into any crown vic and start it also
On the brake pedal switch if you take that panel that switch is in you should have another another connector back there for the traction control turn off
Great video! thanks, you mentioned a few things I didnt know about, I definitely still have a siren I wondered if thats what it was, I will have to check to see if I can pull the keys out when its running. As far as the radio goes I just thought it was messed up wiring when the police gear was removed lol good to know its a common thing, thanks!
Good point on the glove box lock. However one thing to consider is that the glove box lock is not much of an obstacle for an intruder if they really want to get in there. Most thieves will come prepared with a small set of tools to bust in to these types of places. Also, would not recommend anyone leaving a weapon in their car EVER if they are not going to be in it. Just saying. Thieves only need a minute if that much to take your hard earned valuables. Happens here in certain parts of Tampa all of the time.
My moms 2000 Lincoln town car key unlocks my friends 1993 f-superduty and my 1994 mercury grand marquis key starts it. and his f-superduty key wont unlock my mgm but it will start it. ford keys are like that at least the older styles
I watched all 3 learned some stuff. I do have the low jack. Computer hardware still learning stuff
I have the adjustable pedals but they don't work you think it's a fuse ?
pop off the panel and connect the wire to the button ;)
you can do the key thing with any car and if its a non chipped key for a newerish cars the reason it opens the glove box and not start the car is there designed that way take rc controllers for example you can drive someones car right to you with a cheep little walmart toy. now with the 2.4 ghz ones you cant same with the fob keys
You nailed all the problems in my Crown Vic.
love your videos. I have owned my Cvpi for almost 2 months now. i have bought the center console and i love it. I have a small switch on my car under the dash next to the extra plug idk what its for,also. Where can i get the panel that has the traction control/pedal adjustment from?
U make good videos on crown vics keep up the good work
So I have experience with Police Vehicles since I used to be a taxi driver so I dealt with a few Retired Police Car Impala/Crown Vic... So the thing is they are FLEET vehicles so high chance your key will work in multiple cars of the same make. Like literally my key to my Impala Cab I could literally jump in ANY of the cab companies Impalas and drive it and the same goes for the Crown Victoria this was done for simplicity for Police Departments.
The “anti-theft” feature you described, keyless idle, was not a Crown Vic option. That was a common aftermarket add-on.
I know shit-tons about the P71. Especially models '98 through '05 ;) Lots of goodies.
I would love to own a Crown Vic. The only problem is that I live in Australia, and we never got the Crown Vic exported here. Not even the civilian version. Now, I have no doubt I could import one myself, but the amount of work and money required to make it legal to drive here wouldn't be worth it.
Downunda Thunda Yes it would. As a guy who owns a Vic and loves it, there’s no better automatic transmission saloon.
It's not an integrated system.... It's an aftermarket module added to police vehicles. You can get them for most models.
Just bought a 11 for 500 that runs well. Torn on keeping for a driver or putting a 67 ford truck body on it
and where do you get the front lower lip for the interceptor?
Lol I subscribed cause all the Vic reviews forget the stang reviews lol
radio speed button - wild hahaha - will have to check that out on mine - thnx!
You know all this time I thought my 1988 Mercury Sable LS had a flaw with removing the key while she was still on and shutting off when I tried to put her in reverse. Now I know it wasn't a flaw. However that was many years ago and I no longer have the car.
The pedal adjustment button was actually intended to help "grandma and grandpa" reach the pedals. That's the REAL demographic they were shooting for there with that option. The lowest pedal adjustment actually puts the pedals in the same spot as a car without the option.
i was thinking about getting an 01 vic with 89k on it and i love these videos
Anonymous If you can, try to get an ‘06 or later because bulletproof doors.
Thanks for all the valuable information bro👍
I got the exact same center console, great fit
As I have asked before, does the 2010-2011 vics the P7B , have the same secrets?? Like the kevlar doors and other gadgets ???
H
What the is that supposed to mean???
A lot of the things he talks about in his video are options from the factory. Not all cars have them
I love these videos! they have taught me alot about my car. is there going to be more videos on this or is this the final part?
this is the last part but there are plenty of crown vic videos to come i have something BIG planned
My crown Vic has secure idle. There is a big red button next to the pedal adjustment button. you push it and then you can remove the key and leave the car on
I checked the trunk in my 2001 and my 2006. there was an extra wheel and tire in each!.... mind blown.
What year is your black vic in this video?
2007
I didn't know some had an anti-theft feature. That is kind of cool.
The factory siren is mounted on the passenger side behind the bumper. And it doesn't take just a switch to operate lol.
Have you ever had or seen a crown Vic police interceptor with a factory key fob? I saw a cop that used one to open his trunk and was like huh!? I want that!
good stuff man. hey what part of Florida your located at?
I subbed after I saw that S&W Bodyguard .380 I miss mines lol
9:15 believe it or not there's a guy I know with a former Rossville TN. 2001 Crown Victoria and it's got 2 led hideaways left in both markers.
where did you get the FORD emblem on your grill with the thin blue line flag in it?
custom made by me, i dont have anymore at the moment but ill make more soon...i made a video about it...just look through my videos
Mr Random, first and foremost, please do not get offended by my criticism.
1.But in the conclusion of this video(based on your statements) I discovered that either both of the pedals under the dash are "BRAKES" that are adjustable and accelerator is missing or you refer to one pedal as the whole "BRAKES" system but fail to mention that accelerator is also adjustable with it.
2.That the audio unit has "RADIO SPEED CONTROL" that either controls your vehicle speed or radio has its own speed of some sort. Perhaps you tried to refer to a feature called "Speed Volume" also known as "Speed-compensated automatic volume".
3.What gave you an assumption that side marker lights might have LEDs in them? Some viewers don't even know what LEDs are. From the factory, P71 does NOT come with extra lighting accessories in any of the lighting systems besides the custom dome light. All strobe lights have to be installed per department requirement. All marker, tail and head lights are custom drilled for that purpose. Maybe you meant that if a person that acquires a used P71 that could come with strobe lights and it will depend on the department that it was modified for or might even come with LEDs instead of strobe lights on the very latest P71, P7A or P7B models.
Just by doing a little more research, good editing and your own review of this video, it could have been an awesome video and probably yielded a lot more likes and views. You seem like a smart person and will analyze my criticism for your personal gain.
Wish you best of luck.
hey thanks for the comment...i dont think you noticed the words *BOTH PEDALS* that appeared in the middle of the screen when i was talking about the pedal adjusters....and i make these videos for fun not money or views...i have a FULL TIME job and make enough to own a house a boat and 5 cars so i dont depend on youtube and i dont have the time to spend Hours editing and filming on something that doesnt pay for itself...thanks for watching though
Gotcha, Mr Random. 👍😉
CS User uh you might wanna do some research because they make fully built police cars from the factory. They come with strobes, siren, lights everything
LoudChevyNoah. My apologies. You probably right. Because it was you and not me, who assisted in delivering those barebone P71s from the factory to the dealer. WAIT, or was it the other way around?🔁
You know that better than me because you work at FORD and you know it first hand. Or maybe at the least, you TOWED one of those 🚔P71s from the factory using your Scooter and wishing that you will get a real 🏍Bike some day, while listening a ♬mix of your favorite ♪COUNTRY and ♭RAP music over your 🕩subwoofer. It seems like you love cars, but apparently not enough to know a lot about them.
Perhaps you didn't wear your prescription👓 GLASSES when you saw what you saw.
Show me one car manufacturer that completely suits up Police Interceptors to the TURN KEY ready to use vehicle...
