Installation Guide
Professional Installation Recommended
It is recommended that you have a professional
install your new Radenso RC M. To properly install
this system requires extensive 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.
WARNING
The mounting location of your radar antennas
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 di
ff
erent 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.
Installation Best Practices
Before beginning your installation, please review
these tips to ensure a trouble-free installation:
1. 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
mounted behind a
fl
at section of the plastic
bumper.
2. DO NOT mount a radar antenna behind metal -
performance will be seriously compromised.
3. It is usually possible to
fi
nd an accessible
interior entry point for the radar wiring in the
vehicle’s
fi
rewall. Look where the steering
column passes through the
fi
rewall for an unused
grommet or hole that might be convenient for
passing wiring through.
4. Rear entry points can be more challenging to
fi
nd, but include gaskets behind license plates,
backup cameras, and near tail light wiring gaskets.
5. In some rare cases, it may be that no easily
accessible interior entry points exist. In this
scenario, a hole will need to be drilled through
the
fi
rewall. 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.
6. 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.
