RC M CPU Installation

Front Radar Receiver

AL Priority CPU

AL Priority Front Sensors

Install the CPU under the dash using the 

supplied zip ties or 3M Adhesive Tape

NOTE: 

Do not mount the CPU inside the 

vehicle’s engine compartment.  It is not 

weather-sealed. 

Plug in the power harness to the CPU (it 

is the only wire with a plug that will phys-

ically fit), and connect the black wire (-) 

to ground, and the red wire to a switched 

12-volt power supply.  It is highly recom-

mended to wire the CPU to a 12v power 

source that is turns on and off along with 

the car’s ignition.  Connecting directly 

to the battery may drain the vehicle’s 

battery.

The cables for the front and rear radar 

antennas, front and rear AL Priority sen-

sors, GPS antenna, RC M display, and AL 

Priority bridge box all plug into the CPU.

It is recommended that after the interface 

is installed and connected to power, all 

other components are plugged in and 

tested for proper operation before com-

pleting the installation.

Determine the best location for the front 

radar antenna.  Typically, the best location 

is behind a flat portion of the plastic 

bumper.  Alternately, the antenna can be 

mounted behind the grill.

Using the included stainless steel bolts 

and nuts, secure the antenna to the in-

cluded black metal mounting plate.

Using the included hardware, secure the 

mounting plate/antenna assembly to a 

suitable structure on the car.  You can 

use self tapping screws, or bolts with 

matching nuts.

Route the cable from the antenna through 

a safe location under the hood, and plug 

it into the matching extension cord.

The next step is to pass the extension 

cord through the firewall and into the 

cabin of the vehicle.  Locate a suitable 

entry point (usually an unused grommet) 

and slide the cable gently through the 

opening and into the interior.

Plug the cable into the RC M CPU.

Install the AL Priority CPU under the 

dash in a location that is close to the RC 

M CPU using the supplied zip ties or 3M 

Adhesive Tape.

Plug in the included bridge cable to the 

AL Priority CPU, and then plug the other 

end into the RC M CPU.  

Plug the AL Priority CPU power harness 

into the port marked “power,” and connect 

the black wire to ground and the red wire 

to a 12v power source.

It is absolutely critical that the AL Priority 

sensors be installed properly; since laser 

is line of sight, if the sensors are obscured 

they will not be able to defend against a 

laser encounter.

The sensors MUST be installed IN FRONT of 

any grilles, plastic, mesh, or other materials.  

They must have a clear and unobstructed 

view of the road.

Sensors must be installed level, perpendicu-

lar to the road surface.  They must be point-

ed straight ahead and not toed in or out.
