Fantastic. I wonder how well the new Fords will last durability wise.

Ford is an old hat in this game. I am sure they will do fine 
Here they say they're replacing their Crown Vics with Tauruses & Edges.
I said you should be getting 2014 Charger Enforcers with AWD instead. B)

Their last version of a FWD based cop car did not do well.LeeRyder said:Ford is an old hat in this game. I am sure they will do fine

That interior is much cleaner than I had expected, assuming that this is the interior in question:
Are there plans to integrate Mygig or Uconnect or whatever it's called into some of the more common packet radio systems to allow the police to call up their databases on the in-dash screens?

Oh yes! There is a great article on mopar fleet vehicle testing in Cali. I would include the link but im on my phone.TWX said:That interior is much cleaner than I had expected, assuming that this is the interior in question:

One of the photos (taken by a fellow allparian) shows a huge indash screen. Looks kinda like teslas model s dash.

Ended up finding it.
THAT I did not expect... That's amazing! I assume that the keyboard unit is either wireless or is at least capable of being picked up from the console to be typed on...
Was this configuration crash-tested too? You say that it's "beta test", so I wouldn't be surprised if it weren't, though if they've crash-tested the other factory-upbuild accessories then I expect that it would be when considered finished...
I wouldn't mind a setup like that in a civilian car if it controls everything... *grin*
...and...when the car is removed from service, the keyboard is removed...and the screen stays! Great for a used auction buy!TWX said:![]()

Oops. Thanks norm.
I'm hoping this system does get implemented. Two words: police auction

Im sure it was a big selling point to get the bulk of the contract over GM and Ford, they still need to perform well during the test period, but other police forces have been very pleased with the new Dodge support team.fenderbass said:Oops. Thanks norm.

The "MyGIG" was the branding on the 6.5" Hard Drive radios. Like these:MoparNorm said:
Currently available in the Avenger, Grand Caravan, 200, Town & Country, Compass, Patriot and Wrangler.
I would guess they would have either "uConnect" branding or something else on that nice display for the police vehicles. Would be cool to see that screen in a Police Durango and Ram too
