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.

Note:
1. Connection between the radar receiver, and the receiver cable,
must be located in a dry location under hood.
2. Only drill hole in firewall after thoroughly investigating location
first, ensuring no other wires, hoses, etc. will be damaged.
3. Keep all cables away from moving parts, and hot surfaces
(radiator, hoses, etc.).
4. Do not splice cable.
Laser Receiver Cable
1Route Laser Receiver cable to firewall, and secure with zip-ties
(included).
2Route Laser cable into the vehicle’s interior. If there is not a
suitable opening, drill a 13/32" or 7/16" hole.
3Pull cable through firewall, and plug connector into jack marked
“Front Laser/Shifter” on Interface.
4Pull grommet (located on cable) through the firewall to seal the
hole. Use silicone sealant (not supplied) if necessary.
Note:
1. Only drill hole in firewall after thoroughly investigating location
first, ensuring no other wires, hoses, etc. will be damaged.
2. Keep all cables away from moving parts, and hot surfaces
(radiator, hoses, etc.).
3. Do not splice cable.
Front Radar Receiver
1Determine the best location for the Radar
Receiver. The best location is typically under
the bumper, or inside the front grill of the
vehicle. For the best radar performance,
install the Radar Receiver horizontally, with a
clear “view” of the road.
2Using 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.
3Mount Radar Receiver using the supplied
hardware. (If right-angle mounting bracket is
used, secure Radar Receiver to the right-
angle bracket first, then install bracket with
Radar Receiver to the vehicle.)
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 Receiver
1Determine 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.
2Using the supplied mounting bracket, mark location. Drill pilot
holes in the vehicle if necessary.
3Mount the Laser Receiver 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
(radiator, hoses, etc.)
4. Do not splice cable.
5. Make certain that the Laser Receiver is level, and has a
clear “view” of the road.
Radar Receiver Cable
1Connect the receiver cable to the receiver.
2Route cable to firewall, and secure with zip-ties (included).
3Route receiver cable into the vehicle’s interior. If there is not a
suitable opening, drill a 13/32" or 7/16" hole.
4Pull cable through firewall, and plug connector into the jack labeled
“Front Radar” on the Interface.
5Pull grommet (located on the receiver cable itself) through the
firewall to seal the hole. Use silicone sealant (not supplied) if necessary.

Note:
1.
Make certain that the User Display is clearly visible from the
driver’s position, and that the controls can be easily accessed
without interfering with normal driving.
Interface
1Install Interface under the dash using supplied zip-ties.
DO NOT MOUNT IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
