Interface
1
Install Interface under the dash using
supplied zip-ties. DO NOT MOUNT IN
ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
2
Connect black wire (–) to ground, and red-
striped wire (+) to a switched 12-volt supply.
(If RX45 is left in the “on” position, it will
automatically power on and off with the
ignition). Use blue 3M connector (provided)

Front Radar/Laser Receiver
1
Determine the best location for the Radar/
Laser Receiver. The best location is typically
under the bumper, or inside the front grill of
the vehicle. For the best performance, install
the 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 the hole locations.
Drill pilot holes in the vehicle if necessary.
3
Mount the Receiver using the supplied
hardware. (If right-angle mounting bracket is
used, secure the Receiver to the right-angle
bracket first, then install bracket with
Receiver to the vehicle.)
Concealed LED Display
(Optional)
If a more discreet display is preferred the
included LED can be installed:
1
Drill a 1/4" hole, and install the LED clip.
2
Snap LED into clip from behind.
3
Plug the modular connector into RX45’s
Interface marked “LED.”
Receiver Cable
1
Connect the receiver cable to the receiver.
2
Route cable through the 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 “Antenna” on
the Interface.
TEST
After all components are installed correctly:
1
Turn vehicle’s ignition to the “on” position.
2
Turn RX45 on by pressing the power
button
located on the front of the Display
Controller.
3
RX45 will cycle through a short startup
sequence.
4
If any error messages come up, see the
Owner’s Manual for details.
5
Pull cable through the firewall and seal the
hole as needed. 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.
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.
