Important Installation Warnings Performance Warning
A professional installer must install your
1
new . Installation of
this system requires experience and
expertise in automotive electronics. Car
Audio specialists and many car dealers
can install for you.
2
Attempting to install this product
without expertise in automotive
electronics installation can cause
personal injury, or damage to your
vehicle.
3
If your vehicle is damaged during
installation, its safety systems may be
compromised, which could cause
personal injury or property damage.
4
Improper installation may void
the warranty.
To get the best performance possible, the
mounting location of the Radar Receiver is
critical. Although radar signals will pass
through some types of plastic, mounting
the Radar Receiver so that it has a clear
“view” of the road will ensure maximum
warning.
Since Laser signals will not pass through
any objects, including plastic, it is critical
that the Laser Receivers be mounted
perfectly level, and have an unobstructed
“view” of the road.

vehicle. For the best radar performance,
install the Radar Receiver horizontally, with a
clear “view” of the road.
2 Using the built-in mounting holes on the
Receiver, or the supplied right-angle mounting
bracket, mark location. Drill pilot holes in the
vehicle if necessary.
3 Mount Radar Receiver using the supplied
hardware. (If right-angle mounting bracket is
used, secure Radar Receiver to the rightangle bracket first, then install bracket with
Radar Receiver to the vehicle.)

TIPS
1. Do not block license plate illumination.
2. Do not cover any required license plate
information.
INSTALLATION ALTERNATIVES:
1. Cable can be routed under vehicle
(keep away from hot and moving parts)
then brought into the vehicle’s interior.
2. Cable can be cut if necessary for
routing. Reconnect and solder each of
the three wires, and seal with heatshrink tubing.
Note:
1. Do not drill holes in the receiver itself.
2. Thoroughly investigate location before
drilling any holes.
3. Keep all cables away from moving parts,
and hot surfaces (radiator, hoses, etc.).
4. Do not splice cable.

Front Laser “Blocking” Module
1 Determine best location for the Laser Receiver.
For optimum performance, install the Laser Receiver
near the front license plate if possible, with a clear “view” of the road.
2 Using the supplied mounting bracket, mark location. Drill pilot
holes in the vehicle if necessary.
3 Mount the Laser Blockers using the supplied hardware, making
sure that it is level to the road.
Note:
1. Do not drill holes in the Laser Receiver itself.
2. Thoroughly investigate location before drilling any holes.
3. Keep all cables away from moving parts, and hot surfaces
4. Do not splice cable.
5. Make certain that the Laser Blocker is level, and has a
WARNING
Laser Blockers MUST be mounted level (+/-5 degrees) to the road to
work properly.

Radar “Blocking” Cable
1 Connect the receiver cable to the receiver.
2 Route cable to firewall, and secure with zip-ties (included).
3 Route receiver cable into the vehicle’s interior. If there is not a
suitable opening, drill a 13/32" or 7/16" hole.
4 Pull cable through firewall, and plug connector into the jack labeled
“Front Radar” on the Interface.
5 Pull grommet (located on the receiver cable itself) through the
