    The push button "levels" prior to the slide always struck me as an interesting choice. I often forget the sheer number of vehicles NYPD had to deal with and keep standard. Very cool video!

    Unfortunately the buttons for this gen keypad weren't really durable and after use and age aren't as responsive as the newer ones

    I actually prefer the older smart siren tones over the new ones most departments don’t buy sirens for how they sound it’s mostly a price thing. But if I had it my way, the NYPD would still be using the mark seven siren!
