mounts under bumper or in grille

Installation

1 Determine best location for Receiver. The

best location is usually under the bumper
or just inside the grill. The unit must be
mounted with the arrows pointing forward.
(The radar antenna and laser sensors
“look” out the front of this unit, so
have a clear “view” of the road ahead.)

2 Mark location, drill pilot holes in vehicle if

necessary.

3 Mount large metal brackets to vehicle

with 4 sheet metal screws and lockwashers.

4 Mount Receiver to large brackets with

four 8-32 machine screws and lockwashers.

5 Route wire up to a dry location under hood

for the connector, secure with zip-ties.

Think first:

• Do not drill holes in Receiver. Mount only
to the preattached side and rear brackets.

• Only drill holes in vehicle after thoroughly
investigating location and ensuring no
other wires, hoses, or other components
will be damaged.

• Keep cable and connector away from
moving parts and hot surfaces (radiator,
heater hoses, exhaust components).

• Shielded cable– do not splice.
