WARNING:
It is recommended that you have a profes-
sional install your new Radenso RC M. To
properly install this system requires exten-
sive experience with automotive electronics.
If you are unfamiliar with 12v electronics,
many authorized dealers can install your
Radenso RC M system for you.
Attempting to install this product without
expertise in automotive electronics may
cause personal injury or damage do your
vehicle.
The mounting location of your radar anten-
nas and laser sensors is absolutely critical
to determining the ultimate performance of
your installation.
The best performance will always be given
with a direct line of sight and a clear view
of the road. Technically, radar waves can
pass through certain types of plastic, so
it is acceptable in certain cases to mount
the radar antenna behind a bumper or grill.
However, maximum performance will always
be achieved with nothing physically blocking
the radar antenna.
Laser is different than radar - it MUST have a
clear line of sight. Since laser is light based,
system performance is heavily dependent
on an unobstructed view with level, square
mounting. Please see further details in the
“AL Priority Best Practices” section of the
manual.
Before beginning your installation, please
review these tips to ensure a trouble-free
installation:
Determine the best location for the front
and rear radar antenna. For the front
antenna, the best location is typically
mounted horizontally in the slat of the
grill of the vehicle, or alternately mount-
ed behind a flat section of the plastic
bumper.
DO NOT mount a radar antenna behind
metal - performance will be seriously
compromised.
It is usually possible to find an accessible
interior entry point for the radar wiring
in the vehicle’s firewall. Look where the
steering column passes through the fire-
wall for an unused grommet or hole that
might be convenient for passing wiring
through.
Rear entry points can be more challenging
to find, but include gaskets behind license
plates, backup cameras, and near tail light
wiring gaskets.
In some rare cases, it may be that no easi-
ly accessible interior entry points exist. In
this scenario, a hole will need to be drilled
through the firewall. If drilling a hole,
please ensure that the hole is grommeted
afterwards with a soft rubber grommet.
This will prevent undue wear on the wires.
Cables coming into the car from
rear-mounted antennas and sensors can
usually be routed through the trunk/hatch
compartment and concealed under trim
panels.
