Antenna Position - Mounting the antenna
The antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle’s owner prior to installation, since the antenna
may be visible to the vehicle’s operator. The best location for the antenna is centered high on either the
front or rear windshield. For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted
horizontally in relation to the windshield or under the dashboard away from metal, but range will be di-
minished. Metallic window tint can also affect range, so this should be a consideration when determining
the mounting location.
After determining the best mounting location, follow these steps:
The position and location of the antenna will affect the remote control range.
route the antenna wire away from the control unit keeping the antenna as far away from metal as
possible. Avoid running the antenna along any wire harnesses.
Clean the mounting area with a quality glass cleaner or alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.
Mount the antenna using double-sided tape.
Do not shorten or lengthen the antenna.
IMPORTANT! To achieve the best possible range, DO NOT leave the antenna cable bundled under the
dash. Always extend the cable full length during installation, regardless of the antenna mounting loca-
tion.
Locations For Shock Sensor
Some things to remember about where to mount the shock sensor:
Never put the shock sensor in the engine compartment!
Find a spot close to the control module so that the wires do not need to be extended. Keep it away
from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks.
How the shock sensor is mounted is the most important factor in its performance. We recom-
mend two methods:
Using double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener to mount to a trim panel or an air duct,
OR
Wire-tying to a wire harness.
If mounting the sensor where it cannot be easily reached for adjustment, hook-and-loop fastening tape
(such as Velcro) is recommended for ease of removal for future adjustments.
NOTE: In many vehicles, tying the sensor to a steering column or screwing it to metal will result in poor
sensitivity, especially at the rear of the vehicle.
Locations For The Ultrasonic Sensors - (OPTIONAL)
The (optional) Ultrasonic cells should be placed on the left and right side as high as possible so to obtain
the best performance.
Inappropriate adjustment for the Ultrasonic sensor may let to a false alarm. To prevent the false alarm,
make sure the sensibility of ultrasonic sensor is in an appropriate degree. An over adjustment is usually
the main reason to cause false alarm.
