INSTALLATION:
1. When installing the radar modules, use the recommended smartphone app (or the included protractor)
to check the angle for the radar modules. Brandmotion recommends ​45 degrees​ from the back of the
vehicle as optimal, but can be between 42 to 48 degrees. The elevation angle (or “pitch”) from top to
bottom should be between ​1 to 3 degrees​.
2. The LEFT radar module is for the driver’s side and the RIGHT radar module is for the passenger side.
Both modules should be installed with the black side facing the exterior of the vehicle and connectors
facing down toward the ground.
3. The vehicle wiring harness will run down the left side of the vehicle. For the radar module wiring
harness, connect the shortest length wired connector to the LEFT radar module and the longer wired
connector to the RIGHT radar module.
